so called discussion

[saturate 10]

I want to address a means of negotiation in which the initiating party, whether buying or selling, requests an offer on the price of an item. The expectation is a favorable appraisal, else the party declines the proposed offer and discontinues conversation. This is an unproductive waste of time on both parts, and the sharkish behavior is not a positive reflection of our community, as prices will move regardless.

 

Not calling out anyone, but this is one of many examples:

 

 

That being said, people should be informed of ballpark ranges of items so individuals can bicker over the cents and the uninformed are not scammed. If ::prices was an actively updated post that people were referred to, there would be a lot less questions ingame and a cover for liability of "i didn't know".

if player shops were added there wouldn't be a need for any kind of negotiation. And this would also help with people needing to know prices since you would be able to buy the cheapest items in the shops

Ryan is probably trying to avoid player owned shops as it will cause a lot of POS scamming, which he probably wants to avoid. I think regular buying/selling that the server has now is fine for its size, good idea though.

This is what I mean when i say merching in game lol. These are the same people that give accurate price checks like 15b for an ele staff, but yet, won't budge unless someone offers 20b+ for one. Not criticizing their play style in the game, but it's a very negative thing to do in the server. The best part is, these are the same people going for staff (ironically).

Or someone could come with a updated price guide
