acres_chairs Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was in a little strife with a lack of cow hides and thought of an idea that would be advantageous to players who try to sell stuff when all the best buyers could be offline. I thought, how about a section of the bank where you place any items you want to sell, and other players could browse the list. Then if they have bought one of your items, the money transfers back to you. There could be a fee of 10 coins per day or something to keep your stuff in, and the fee would be charged to you next time you were online.

Nitroke Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I like the idea but would rather let jagex take a percentage of the sale. like 1 percent for example. all items that are sold for under 100 gp could be sold for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Ltd Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 it'd end up being a rip off from world of warcrafts auction house system, lets keep runescape original :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper128 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 First of all, WOW isn't the first place to use things like that. Second, Runescape, and all MMORPG's are rip off's of MUDs, which are rip off's of ...etc, etc, blah, blah, going way way back. But, if properly implemented, an auction house, sale barn, flea market, or whatever you want to call it, COULD be a boon. However, it can also be a bane, as it means that merchanters who do take the time to collect up resources in small amounts at low prices, could be put out of business by this system. Also, is it one BIG auction house crossing all of the servers? Or does each server have it's own auction house? And, does the person have to return to the auction house to pick up their cash? Is it an actual auction with bidding or is it more of a flea market? How much should players pay to be able to automate the selling of their items? How long should items be allowed to be left there? How many items can it hold at once? Is it worth it in the first place, and does it really have a use in the second? Finally, to the problem that brought you here in the first place acres_chairs, you could have tried buying hides from the people killing cows, checked the sale forums here, or, if all else failed, kill some yourself.

Clan_Chat_Op Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 it'd end up being a rip off from world of warcrafts auction house system, lets keep runescape original :D agreed Um, WoW wasn't the first to do an Auction House. jeezes. lol tell WOW to be original... I think runescape is plenty original. and by runescape using the idea.. its not like they are stealing the idea either, the idea is so completely common sense... and broad... I guess the first game to use a sword is original... and all the others are unoriginal and copied it. I skill. If you skill you should join.

Yes, I did end up doing that, but I still thought it was an interesting thought. Interesting, maybe. But how to implement it? That's one of the biggest problems. And, that can get to be a lot of information for the servers to have to deal with. As well, how to implement it? Can you set it up so that things are only sold as a group? Or can they be sold individually? (i.e. 100 hides at 100 each, or 100 hides for 10000 coins) What about if you want to add more to the sale? (For example, you just got more hides) It could put the merchenters out of business, which could be seen as good or bad, or it could just help them with their business, as they can just sit around banks all day snatching up things that are listed at low prices, and leaving things that aren't. Really, it needs more work before any real comments can be made on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker6 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I think the person who places it there, could set a minimum price or whatever as the seller isn't there to haggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
