Merchant Archive

Has there ever been talk of creating a new category on the Baazar for Advertisements? The category would be just like I stated "Advertisements" with sub categories that mirror the Vendor categories on the planetary map. Merchants of a specific skill could craft an advertisement either for themselves or a 3rd party for which the merchant would be paid and subsequently be charged a fee to place it on the baazar. The advertisment could be for a vendor shop where the Merchant does not have the skills yet to be on the planetary map. They could also be for an individual item that someone is trying to sell, instead of ppl yelling in the crowded spaceports they could have there item advertised by a merchant on the baazar. The advertisement would be better than yelling as it would carry across all planets since it would be on the baazar system and viewable all the time. The advertisements could have a duration of 1 - 7 days the fee charged would be based on the length of the ad, just like a newspaper.

This is somewhat similar to the trade forums but from what ive read only 20-30% of players read the forums, this would cover almost everyplayer.

Thanks

This is a good idea, the only downside is that people might make a decision based only on the advertisement. We already have people getting mislead by barkers/shouters to go visit vendors.

I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "people might make a decision based only on the advertisement" and "people getting mislead". Just looking for some clarification as it sounds like this might be a good buyer beware tip for others to read.

Thanks
