RE: False advertisement. Will it end in ARR?

[Reika]

A long while back I voiced my legitimate concern for the false advertizement that many vendors all across Eorzia are guilty of. Still, after almost a year since my first complaint, I cannot purchase a juicy La Noscean Orange from a merchant that has a basket of La Noscean Oranges displayed in broad daylight for everyone to see and drool over.

My wonder is, will these merchants be brought to justice in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn Aka 2.0? I don't want to have to walk up to another vendor hoping to buy what they have for display, only to find out they have a completely different stock of items for sell than what is shown. I mean come on, it is just wrong to cause a cat to salivate uncontrollably at the sight of any kind of delicious food I might want to purchase! Its like some kind of psychological warfare against felines!

I demand an answer to this issue. Will it end with ARR?

lol somehow i knew eventually reika would come back to this topic. there's a hidden npc that actually sells oranges from that vendor. the problem is they don't like you so won't take you to their black market merchandise. i've been able to get many oranges.

You can kiss the merchant, the merchant's stand, and his sweet oranges goodbye!

Are you happy now?

Not unless there is promise that the new merchants that come after will have regulations enforced upon them that prevent false advertising and other unwanted mean-merchant related things like overpricing and undercutting.

It would be equally bad if 2 merchants kept lowering their prices constantly to be the lowest, and for one merchant to hold a monopoly on the orange market and put a huge price tag on them.
