Here's an idea,


SOE should make the bazzar avaliable online through their website. I would have to log on as my character of course, and the items would be avaliable for me when I next went into the game. Combine the best of both worlds.


Also I would love to see in game webcam's on their website that I could have as my screen saver as work. Maybe set up a few positions on each planet.

Exactly, people using the trade forums are a tiny percentage of the total actually playing the game. Most people would rather be online playing the game rather than online reading about the game.





My understanding is that 10% or so of the players log into the forums. It's not a majority, but doesn't seem like a tiny percentage.

I agree. Eliminating the need to track people down after they have won an auction is reason enough.

Not only that, it gives EVERYONE in the game a fair chance at seeing what is for sale. Thedevelopers have to realize everyone doesnttroll thetrade forums or even bother with any of the forums at all...

to "fix" the bazaar (without breaking Merchant at the same time)


- unlink "vender offers" from bazaar listings

- reduce the "standard" number of bazaar listings from 25 down to 10

- give the merchant profession "bonus" listings based on their skill levels (for example, each first tier box gives 1 extra, each second tier box gives 2 extra, and so forthwith 10 extra for Master, giving a Master Merchant a total of 60 bazaar listings)

- set instant sales to work the way they always have -- you pay the price, you get the item

- allow auction sales to have a "buyout price" which makes them function essentially as an instant sale if that amount gets bid

- allow auction sales to have a "starting price" that must be less than the buyout price(maybe not be able to start the bidding higher than half the buyout price?)

- times would stay as is - 7 days for sale or auction, 30 days "in storeroom" for pickup

- remove the option to cancel a sale or auction -- once it's listed, it staysavailable for the week or til someone buys it.
