Heck, put it at master politician level or all I care, just so long as they are available somewhere along the line.

I wonder if we would be able to tax bazaar transactions...

/evilgrin

/agree

Wouldn't bazaar terminals screw up business for your crafters/merchants? People coming through the town wouldn't check vendors as much if at all, they would go to the bazaar terminal. I don't think we need bazaar terminals and I don't see how they would help towns.

/agree!! i remember back when they where working onthe patch they said that bazzars could be placed and that we could tax the bazzar too, this is something i really wanted, i though they said that player cities would have everything, and they left out one other thing, I cant bet anywhere can I

well Communist9137 you didnt think about how the bazzar can only go up to 3k so that limits how good/what items will be sold on it, it will not hurt the vendors at all

Yeah, I did think about that. Now think about Medics that sell Stims on their Vendors, then someone comes along and puts a bunch of them on the Bazaar terminal and screws that persons vendor out of a bunch of business. I'm thinking about the established merchants and vendors in town which could be upset by random people coming in town and placing stuff on bazaar terminals. If you want to sell stuff like that, talk to a Merchant or someone w/ a Vendor and have them sell the stuff you make. IMO, cities are all about working together and Bazaar terminals are just the opposite, they are an example of cutthroat lazzie faire capitalism, which doesn't help the city merchants.

Lol, my whole city is already like that - the bazaar would just be an exension of that system. Capitalism is a harsh mistress...

I guess there is a reason that your name is Communist though And I have nothing against that, btw - its not like Bazaars would be required by any means, they could be installed at the mayor's discretion. Diversity is good.

Meh, I wouldnt mind having a few nearby the merchant district area but it isn't a vital new addition. I say fix the bugs and combat before giving us any more. I mean christ we were just given the entire profession, how many civic structures, and new powers beyond what we have known before...lets give them a break before demanding more.

bazaar terms are all capped at 3k on sales anyway. that's not going to put a serious dent in any merchant sales. If anything it will get more people into your city because other players will need to come there to pick up the bazaar purchaces. Given a good crafter community I think this will help the merchants for the most part.

Yeah, I was just trying to come up with a reason that they haven't put that in the cities, that would be my argument for not having them in the city and that is the only reason I can think that the devs didnt put it into player cities. Only other reason I could see would be that it would just be way too many things on the bazaar on the planet.

Seems like it would bring more business to the town as people buy them on a global search then have to pass through the town (andits gauntlet of vendors)to pick the stuff up.

I think the reason they got dropped from the feature list is because it was hard to do technically To have those tie into the existing planetary and global bazaar system is probably not a trivial matter - and one that needs a lot of testing so you don't screw up the already existing bazaars (that would be real bad). Remember that one city that was mislabeled for a while there (was it keren on Naboo?) - it took them forever to figure out how to fix that and change the name to be correct. Having the system dynamically add bazaar locations will probably take them some work to figure out how to do.

And btw, I did not mean to imply that I am demanding this feature. It is a nice to have though and something I would like to see them put near the top of their player city list after bug fixes.

The way to make people pass through your town as a result of finding something on the Bazaar would be if they implemented that Items listed on the vendor of a Master Merchant could also BE LISTED on the Bazaar.

No to a bazaar terminal in a city unless it is a one-way, buy only Bazaar, forcing people to travel from your city to a NPC city for pick-up.
