Hey, why is it that those that use the international districts have to pay for doing this? I always play international districts and today i did not cared to change as i was only loged in for a short time with one of my characters to get something of the storage box. And what do i have to see in Ascalon City? Rune Traders, Dye Traders, Guild Register, Guild Emblem guy, Material Trader. All missing in the international districts. So why do we got mocked? I knew those all existed, but before i checked out the european districts, i simple thought that those have to be found at first or are probably in a diffrent city, but no they simple are left out of the international district.
Now i wonder why and also what else i can suspect to miss by playing in the international districts, some part of the story???

why not just go to dis 1? is there any reason you are in the internationl dis

Chayton · Jun 14, 2005, 07:48 PM // 19:48

Allthought thats not the point, yes there is:
1. There are less people, dont like it when its such busy
2. I changed to that, since the day i saw europeans simple cant talk english when being international, several times even after the district split i see german and other languege in the english district, in the international that hardly happens.

But thats beside the point, unless you want to tell me, Arenanet made that to get people away from the international districts.

I am pretty sure that in International District there was never an Trader(Runes/Material...) this is because the prices of these Traders differ in europe/america/korea.

I can't answer your question, however I can try and get an official response, it could be a bug or an oversight.

I believe that Daniel has it correctly. The market from these types of merchants fluctuates according to supply and demand. They don't want you leaving your "true" market and selling items for more or buying them for less then what you should be paying in your market.

You are allowed to use the International Districts for the purpose of meeting up with friends that live oversees but they still want the market that you initially belong to be affected by your transactions. This would not be the case if you were allowed to use these types of merchants outside your primary market.

Ah ok, but why then not have own traders in the international districts where the prices are general higher? I mean sure thats not that fair either but at least you dont miss out those traders. Like i said, before that day i believed that i will met those simple in a diffrent city or have to search them outside. Like several collectors.
Or better add "assistants" of those trader which say that you will find their boss in the european/american/koreo districts.

Hmm, so how does the economy work in instanced areas? If i sell/buy all my stuff from the material trader right outside the sanitarium [and in the lion's arch areas there are like whole towns with various NPCs in the -instanced- areas]. Does it automatically contribute to my original region even if i'm grouped with people from other regions?

--> If it's automatically contributed towards my original region, then why can't they do the same in the "lounge" areas in the inernational districts?
In short : If there can be traders in the instanced areas , then surely they can do the same for the international districts?

Maybe because you are on an American server? You can switch districts freely, but your account is still located on an American server and maybe you can't trade with NPCs when in a district that is not tied to your server? Just a thought...
