Thread: A fact i love from retainers i dont want toget changed once 2.0

Anonymous sales are bad. Seeing who buys and sells what for how much is a very useful tool to detect price fixing.

You can do the same thing with the name of the retainers, you can see wich RETAINER sells what for how much... why someone would need to know the name of the owner of such retainer? so you know to who be mean? bussines are bussines, dont need stalkers.

It basically means "something has been cut off/out"

It's nothing personal I'm just taken aback by how much new MMO players seem to dislike the whole Multiplayer part of the MMO genre.

What is it? well it is the way sales/purchases are anonimous.

In FFXI you had to deal with stuff like this...

1.- You set an item for 100 gil but then someone make a mistake and buy it for 100000 gil... then as seller you have a guy trackin you down to make you pay for a mistake that wasnt yours, Now this will be debatable from diferent points of view it be fair or not blah blah blah, this not the point of the matter, the trouble is you as hseller end with someone chasing you. On our current sistem this doesnt applies as you watch the actual price of an object, but with the upcoming introduction of an Auction House this might be again a concern.

2.- On FFXI you sell something of big interest and your name appears on the list as seller... ok this might be good, as people might try to contact you to buy things directly from you.... but it also has its bad side... there will be also people contact you who do alot of questions about it and dont even make a purchase from you, also what if for x-reason you want to sell something without no one to know about it?

Anyways the main point is, i love the way people know wich retainer is sellin what, but no one see your main character's name on it, and honestly i love it and i dont want it to change once they add auction house style, it would be neat if it happens to be like in XI... but with the diference the name(s) that appears on the sold/bought list be those of your retainers and not your main characters name.

Humm, online stalking!! Count me in!

Price fixers attacking price fixers. Oh mai!

I like the anonymity for my own self, but sometimes I wanna wring the neck of whatever idiot undercut a 40k item down to 10k in no seconds flat.
