Bazaar access for all

[Grandfather/Cuppah]

Title says desire.

Intent: Ability to develop community economic flow and help those in need of items.

From dropped items to simple tradeskill components, it could help boost activity across the board.
The benefits for high, mid, and low levels to help finish quests/ tradeskillls, when they do not have the time to farm components, may increase interactivity between players in different time zones. This could make the server more viable for those in odd play-time slots, where not many folks are active.

The only drawback might be increased access to post-expansion gear for folks, but this is slightly offset by the costs of unbinding items. If this is an issue, it might require extra coding to check if the item has been/ can be bound, before it is allowed into the bazaar player-merchant tables.

This gets my vote. Would love to see the player economy start to develop.

I favor as well!

Bazaar can be great. But also at the rate that items are dropping here, a bazaar can quickly be flooded by raid loot for 1cp. It can greatly reduce the fun of equipping your own characters, leaving you nothing but exping and progression in the first weeks of playing.

I'm honestly a bit torn on this one. I see the benefit of having a bazaar as you can buy/sell more easily. I see a downside with exactly what nedush described.

Obviously most raid loot would have to be de-attuned, so selling under 5k would not really be feasible with every single drop, but many really great items are droppable and banks are likely flooded with them.

For now I'm going to just wait on this.

The more I thought about it, the more it did seem a bad idea. I was going to remove the post, but I forgot about the post instead.
For old people, that is almost the same thing. Right?

I totally agree on not wanting to see raid loot sold on bazaar, but, could we not prevent the listing of any items with the attunable tag?
I've been starting on tradeskilling, and it would be nice to be able to sell some of my creations, and better still...purchase tradeskill components easily from other players.

Kraan,


For now I am populating notable PoK venders with dropped and missing TS materials corresponding to the craft of the vender. This by no means allows for market supply and demand, but it could be continued by other tradesmen, at least for convenience.

Unlike the hub zone, PoK venders do not reset their inventory on zone collapse.

Cheers mate! Now to get that Cursed kill for PoP access.

Edit : Done, thanks Zero :-)
