Abolish the Player Shops

I personally believe this game doesn't need player shops when theres a auction house. i mean it would also stop the cities being packed full of useless hard to navigate market areas. may also make it lag free for some people. also has a chance to stop some gold farmers in some ways.

fiesta had the same dam problem where the markets were so bloody packed.

only differences between this and fiesta is that this is a better game and it has an auction house. i find if more people used the auction house and didn't use the player shop it would be a hole lot better in the cities.

i also think it would stop venomancer getting ripped off with insane prices 10k for a tank pet where if i were the one selling a magmite or glacial it would be 1k

this could just be me ranting a bit but if anyone with me and they think the market system is stupid when they have an auction houseb:boredb:tired

Problem with the Auction House is the fee attached to selling it doesnt resemble the current market value of the items. Ever try selling mirages at the AH? It wants to take 2k per mirage away from you for a listing fee, in addition to the 5%. Likewise most harvested materials are outragiously over proportioned in their listing fees. They base the listing fees on a portion of the NPC sale price, which doesnt reflect market prices. Another game i used to play did this, but they switched over to the listing fees also being proportional to how much the player is selling the item for, so it wasnt so odd.

Also There many items that cant be sold at the Auction House, mostly boutique items, but they can be cat-shopped. Its impossible to sell any of the packs or pack reward items via the Auction House. And then theres times when it takes them forever to add some things to the filters, for instance the ninja outfits, someone can post it at the AH, but a buyer could never find it at the moment.

So while i completely support the Auction House system over cat-shops, in this game, it doesnt have the full functionality to replace catshop.

Edit: Also that same afore-mentioned game i used to play, had player bazaars. However, in cities there was a 10% tax on any good sold from the bazaar, i forgot if it was payed by the merchant or buyer. But it acted as a coin sink & encouraged more people to use the Auction house, or at the least, to not completely clutter up a city. Amusingly, there's became a small area just outside the main city people came to know as the unified place to set up the bazaars, to avoid the tax. Which was fine, if i needed to check for those types of big items, i went there, but it wasnt lagging up my city.
