Thread: Possible Junk Bazaar Fix

Rather than focussing on what we can do to up GC experience, why not take a look at a flaw in the bazaar system. I know right now to find a decent pistol I have to skim through pages of CDEF improved or CDEF te best. Now I love the concept of being able to name your own items. Adds a bit of personality to the game. How about fixing how we search through the bazaar?


Give more options to search for. For example, suppose I need a pistol. If there was a query style search where I could define a price, speed, min damage, ... it would filter out all the junk. Search across the planets and you have just incresed that chance someone will hop to another planet to pick something up (costing more credits, but less credits in circulation would be nice).


Food could be searched for by stats and such, clothing by colors I guess. This would not stop people from flooding the bazaar with junk, but it may just make it easier to get a sale and some UXP (not even sure if it works yet).


Rather than change a class, just tweak the economy a bit.

During the end of beta a 20 credit fee was introduced to stamp out the CDEF junk, however this has not deterred these seemingly clueless people.

However, being able to see the correct 'type' of weapon, such as an e-11 etc instead of having to see what the character named it. Adding queries would also help tremendously, however it would probably add to the problem and strain to the bazaar already. - takes about 30 seconds to load the bazaar where I am.

So it’s an unnecessary good, which would cause a greater evil.... LAG.

20 credit? Don't you mean when they upped it to 500?
