Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
Trading in the game is rather difficult, since there is often a language barrier between players if one doesn't speak Russian, nor you can always find people willing to buy an item even when you have something good to sell, so you start to stockpiling decent items in your bank and waste time spamming messages in that very small chat for selling those items. By adding a marketplace in the game, for example as a new building in one of the main cities, together with the classic system of an online catalogue for buying/selling items, where a player put an item in the marketplace, give a price to it and other players, by accessing the same place, search with the catalogue items to buy, it would seriously improve the trading aspect of this game, since it would be faster and easier to buy or sell anything. Also, with a marketplace the crafting system would be more used since it would be a good way to make money by selling stock of crafted items, like healing items, clothes etc.

Re: Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
I forgot to say that other than filters to choose what items you want to buy, every item selled in this hypothetical catalogue would need to stay for a limited time (something like a day or a little more) in the catalogue to avoid items cluttering. This would also avoid the marketplace from becoming some sort of bank where players can sell items at an absurd prices to simply store them. But limited time for selling items lead to the problem about where the items that aren't selled goes. They could be transfered in the player's bank, and when the bank storage is already full they could be preserved in the marketplace for a limited time (for example 24 hours) before disappearing.
Re: Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
I totally agree with this, almost every mmo has this and is vital for success for players who don't want to waste hours to find an item for a quest
Re: Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
imagining it, for me adding a marketplace would be tedious, so it's much better if the player can setup their own stall and sell their goods. I imagined it looking like the inventory interface of the game, where players can assign a "for sale" tag to the items inside their inventory. When they assigned the items for sale, they can individually set the price for each item. For bullets and other stackable items, you can add a parameter so that players can set how many they want to sell. When the player sets his own shop, there should be an icon above his head (like the other merchant icons in the game) indicating that the player is selling items. The other players can view the items for sale via the player menu (like when viewing the player's equipped items), they can click on items so they can see the details and displays a "buy" button at the bottom.

Re: Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
Why create a system through which the player will continue to stand for hours in one place, but without sending messages about the sale of goods? The player can send his goods to the trading board and go about his business, he will not have to spend hours in the city idle, let alone show his inventory to other players. This is a quick trading system, but if desired, the player can still continue to use the old trading methodsMRVN wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 5:22 am imagining it, for me adding a marketplace would be tedious, so it's much better if the player can setup their own stall and sell their goods.

Re: Adding a marketplace to make trading easier
The simple and easier ways for me to trading is selling thing to NPC
About shop I just imagine a small place like nomad village will turn out to be a bazzar like arabic style, full of people just want to selling their items but since their shop/trade is fixed placed that will makes other people hard to move/walk.
And will make monopoly in some area like colonialism era East Indies Company I mean some traders will combined it's power and wealth in one faction and will claimed his areas/marketplace with force and power,I just imaginated someday if this happend, there will spawn a bunch of trader factions that wars each others just to get/claimed a marketplace or destroy other traders faction.
