RE: Some Suggestions
Thanks for the suggestion, but we have thought about most of these before, yet declined (or still pending, like @whosell) because of the following reasons:


a) refer to history of eA on all the "potential, not very understood but supposedly there yet not replicable for some reason" zeny dubbing trick. We'll take the better safe than sorry approach.

b) think this one is beaten down to death already... @whosell effectively kills competitions OR make all prices stagnant. Now you go "@whosell oh elunium see everyone else sells it at 50k, so i'm totally not ripping you off selling it at 50k too" (case of stagnant prices). The other extreme is "@whosell gosh darn it that other guy is selling at 50k *lowers to 40k to steal business*" and then the next guy repeats the same thing and it keeps going lower and lower, so now the consumers got the sword against the seller to say "lower price or else I will easily buy from that other guy instead, command proves it."

"Just don't make it list prices then"

You still have to deal with killing off sales as a result of "unintentional shopping" (compulsive shopping).

Let's say I want to buy elunium, but none of the stores seem to list "elunium" in shop title, so i have to click one by one to find out, which may seem like a drag. Say I have 4 mils on me. Then when I come out to a shop, I magically see oridecon for sale at only 5k, so I buy that as well as what I originally intend to buy. @whosell I would've dive bombed the shop with elunium, and move on without buying other things. Sometimes this works in the seller's favor too. You have some "overpriced items" lying around, and occassionally someone who totally doesn't have the intention to buy that item while trying to find someone else, stumbles upon your shop and gets trapped by compulsive shopping.


@whosell isn't totally one sided "obviously good command, a must have".

c) we're definitely not going with dual currency to handle many server's super common problem of "zeny vs custom currency" conversion ratio, as if overseeing the zeny economy is not hard enough. heRO goes with the one currency rule.

(you really can't argue royal gold bullion as our 2nd currency since it has a very clear zeny-bullion rate, and it has exactly one use only.)
