Suggestion concerning new trade system... Guild vendors?

I just got an idea that I atleast thought I wanted to share... If you dont like it you dont like it but I think it would be kind of nice....

First off I like the new system.. it is very good! however in itself it doesnt feel quite complete when trying to find spells for myself for example. Anyways keep the new system just the way it is..

As I understood things the problems with the old system was that it was unfair since everyone couldnt have a vendor and also a lot of vendors had trash items?

However... How does Guild Vendors only sound? ie each guild gets 1 or 2 vendors.. 1 say in Newport and 1 in a random town.. Any guild officer could add and remove stuff from the vendor and set prices... Anyone can buy things from it ofcourse.. (or maybe everyone could get to buy things from the vendor in Newport and the vendor in random other city would be for guildmembers only?)

It wouldnt be unfair because every guild could get vendors and cities wouldnt look so empty and also there would be good content for everyone to be able to buy.... (to not say that it would help guild economy out)


Anyways if you dont like it just ignore this post... but I think it would be a nice addition that would make the new system complete... :)
 
I don't know about that but it would be cool to have a sort of vendor to add stuff to the guild bank or withdraw from with approval. This way if an officer isn't on and you want to add something to the bank you can. That would be kinda nice. More for adding to the bank though.
 
If this happened I'd pay some newbies 250pp each to form a guild for me called Maimai's Trade Association lead by an alt mule then have my vendor back :p

Well, I thought it was a really good idea, till Maimai made this very valid point.
 
heh true.. that would suck :/ wouldnt that kinda be abusing the rules just a tid bit and be a jailable offense though?

Yeah, because we would definitely establish that guild. :?

I'd split it with you ;)
 
Meh was half kidding, was kind of making a point that there are several low guilds that even combined have less time invested than a single player, so at least guild vendors could cost 100,000 platinum or something :)
 
100K PP lol now you are being unfair.. lets try and give new guilds a lil better chance to compete.. but yes maybe charging a lil bit of money as one time setup fee wouldnt be all bad? lets not make it unreasonably high for the smaller or newer guilds though.. lets just make it high enough that vendor wont be there if unused... say 5k pp ?

Or if you wish but that might not be possible.... guildgrouping exp going towards getting merchant?

ie if a guild wants merchant it must exp (or quest?) together to get one?
 
It's not going to happen, I just wanted to point out that it's not because we couldn't enforce sensible rules for it, it's simply that we don't want vendors.
 
This new system is not helpfull is what I want to say.

It's marginally better than straight /auctioning wares, because you don't have to have the wares on you to link them.. That's the only bonus for sellers..

For buyers, it's really restrictive. I don't know who's selling and who isnt. I do not want to have to target and type a command for everyone i see, much less sit in the bank typing in random people's names that I see in /ooc chat.

There really needs to be a listing of items for sale, otherwise this new system will be underused or just plain ignored. :(

I really want this new system to work, don't get me wrong, but I just feel it isn't working now.
