It's not about people not wanting to buy them, it's the difficulty of the seller and the buyer finding each other. If I would have to use 30 minutes to find a prospective buyer to an inscription worth 2k then it's just not worth my time. I don't get my money, the player looking for that inscription won't get it, everybody loses. A trader would directly solve the issue, stackable items would solve it indirectly through the ability to have more items for sale at the same time and thus reduce the average sell time of a single item.

/signed trader
/notsigned stackable; another way to wear down the economy.

Try putting that up in Sardelac, maybe we'll get lucky and someone from Anet will see it, its quite a good idea.

and yes to pie!

You wanna hold some stuff as you might need them for a build u didnt yet think of. Selling them would mean you loose quick access to such an item, as everybody will just merch em, and thereore you need to waste time finding a low value item

/stackable i would not care, i see truth in the statement of people that it will just induce stockpiling to infinity
/signed for trader, that would relieve all from the need to hoard stuff

/signed across the board.

Dealing with these things in my inventory is one element of tedious micromanagement I don't need in the game.

Absolutely agree - I've got tons of mods I can't use but occasionally need one I don't have. Trying to find the right one is impossible - you just hope a person who

1: happened to bother salvaging the mod (why bother anymore when everything is worth so little?)

2: didn't bother merching it after an hour of trying to sell. (the variety of mods is so huge a person trying to sell one or two types can't find the right buyer and just advertising "mods" is totally useless)

3: is willing to sell rather than keep it for himself because he knows it will be hard to locate one if he needs it

4: had trade channel turned on or checks search at just the right time

5: is willing to switch to the mule tune who is carrying that mod at the moment

happens to be in the right city and on the right server to see your request.

Last time I needed a mod it took me an hour and a half to find it.

Something needs to be done.

/signed stackable
/unsignet for trader

It's always fun to take some crappy golds from storage and salvage them to make Teh LeetNess req11-weapons for heros/for new build. Yay i had hard time to find useful inscription for shield but... still. No trader, it's fine as it is.

Witchblade · Mar 26, 2008, 03:54 PM // 15:54

leave as it is

/not signed

trader would set prices even lower, open chest and trade stuff, people wanna have everything in town ....

Malice Black · Mar 26, 2008, 03:58 PM // 15:58

Every mod is pretty easy to get hold of.

Laziness is a killer, beware!

make an auction house instead then people wont have problems finding the mods they want. its the same thing as going to a merchant and buying and selling except its real people, like it should be. why should the npc's get all the fun selling and buying?

I need 3 +30hp bow grips..5 zealous strings, and 5 +5e martial weapons scripts....PM me IG Malice *HUGZ*

Seriously, that is problem.

If i happen to meet someone what wants mod I have while it am at "playing" character, it always end up this way:

1) Gotta stop whatever i am doing (i.e. trying to sell different stuff; leave group i am in; stop pursuing quests or storyline(mood breaker); stop farming; )

2) Make sure he will wait for me to get it from mule, haggle about price

3) Remember/Copypaste his name and location

4) Relog, repeat until you find correct mule, HOPE you really have that item otherwise you gotta apologize (or "disappear")

5) Map travel to that outpost, contact buyer again, or make buyer map travel to your mules location

6) Hope he waited, didn't get better deal in meantime, didnt go AFK or simply didn't disappear.

7) Make trade.

8) Relog to previous character.

Seriously, this can take up to 15 minutes, and its 500g-1k mod. Not worth it. I rather pass such opportunities even if i have such mod.

They're certainly not, took me 3-4 days and having to do an auction once. People don't hold on to most, except for uber popular ones.

i like pie

Mohnzh · Mar 26, 2008, 05:07 PM // 17:07

At first I was thinking stackable but not merchant, but after reading through the arguments I believe good points have been made and I now switch my stance.

/signed for merchant
/notsigned for stackable
/notsigned for pie

Sorry, the only sugar I like is Mtn Dew
