[dev1018] New market system idea

[Anathiel]

Alright, I like the system but I also like the idea of people trying to out bid each other. Its to the benefit of the seller really. You want that maple log +3? Well so does somebody else and whoever comes out on top of the bidding gets the item and the person selling it is also the beneficiary. We could leave in the price history but leave the price history as price paid, not price requested.

That price paid only listed thing is the only reason why I hated FFXI's AH. I dont want to have to guess the price >.> And if its like that, people will just set the price at the last price paid, and it will keep going up and up and up.... a maple log +3 that originaly sold for 1000gil could turn into 10000 gil, since it will only show a price paid, not requested.

they could make this maket zone inter connected with all cities. And with in the market area. If absoluted needed have an Auction house area.

simple put you enter the market market zone via teleport. (maybe a similar design of a guildleve card but you see a stall. You enter a pretty shoping area and from here can enter any section from this area. each housing an outdoor area with retainer stalls. each enterance will have a counter where you can do an item search. you search for you item with a prince range, then just click one of the listen which teleports you to that floor its located on. (meaning each ward will have a few floors to limit over fulling. and if a floor gets full it will not be on the list) All you need to do is walk to the stall with the star over it.

the wards could either be organised by diciple, or just numbered. (since ppl will sell misc stuff) the opening section can be for personal bazaar to limit over crowding in the main cities. Broker npc can be placed in the back area.

to place you retainer all you gotta do is go to the counter at the enterance to these smaller areas and click a place retainer. You pick a floor on the list, you get teleported to said floor and just ring the bell and place your retainer stall. each room floor can say fit 800 or more retainers. which can't be randomly places but places similar to how you placed mog house furnishings.

I hope this will make the areas neater less conjusted and easier to use. if not faster.
The auction how will be similar to ffxi but with a twist. Make it like a mog house where you enter your own personal zone where u can tallk to a broker who conects with the Auction house. (to limit that lag from ppl conjesting infront of the AH) (just a thought)
