-Added 'premium' column to vendor listing-

this was towards the bottom of the list on the page with the next big patch notes. im not really sure what it evenmeans. anybody? looks like it might be cool.

What i think it means.. is there will be a premium title on the worldsearch now.

When you check vendors.. youll see armor, weapons. etc.. then premium.

Doesnt help to much if this is the case.. because you still get screwed every time server shutsdown, and turns off your ad.

Where is the big patch notes?

I had assumed it was about the "Premium" checkbox available on Bazaar sales, having nothing to do with the actual vendors.

its refering to "Premium"auctions/sales on the bazzar

it is suposed to highlight your sale in some manner making it stand out more,it also cousts 200 as oppose to 20c(thats with out skills)

but that is acutly an old fuction that hasnt worked ever,and with the advent of everyone and there mom using hex codes its a mute point

as far as if that is the fix for it or not i dont think it is,as that same line was in some patch notes awhile back and the seem to have recycled some.

i hope im wrong.

oops sory for the dobble post(well triple)

Well technically all Merchants are Artisans with Business II so it does affect us.I don't think over all it is a major fix for our profession however. Just putting a column there that says premium doesn't do anything except point out who paid an extra fee to get that box filled in. Unless it is highlighed or otherwise has attention drawn to it the fee paid for it is a waste of time. Putting it on the first page all the time is confusing because I keep getting the same stuff on the first page no matter how I sort the list. That is annoying. How hard is it to highlight something?

This doesnt help Merchants. This helps Artisans with Business 2.

I consider it a minor nerf.

Premium gets your item on the first page most times, so it has some value.

Adding a flag lets the customers know that you paid extra for the listing, so it makes them potentially more concerned about the price you are asking. It may even make you look a little desparate, and cause those annoying tells from people trying to beat down your price.

Do you call the guy with the boldface add in the classifieds first? I call him last or never.

It may work out, at least it shows you are not a newbie and so are less likely to be selling a worthless item.
