Worthless Marketplace?

Let’s talk about this, shall we?

You cannot trade without Premium at all. You can only list one item at a time in the Market without premium. On top of this being pretty unfair to those without TP tokens…there’s also THIS rule.

When your item eventually sells, you have to wait 48 hours to retrieve your silver?
What’s the actual point of using the market at all?

I was really impressed over the changes to the interface since the iCBT2; it’s organized very well now and really easy to use.
But what even for? 48 Hours? Two entire days to make any kind of profit? That’s taking bot prevention to extremes.

RMTers paying for premium is no big deal since they make millions, so this kind of prevention is useless and hindering to players.

Maybe IMC has system that detect Silver acquired from Market.
Which if sell worthless item with high price will automatically banned the char / account for prevent gold buyer.

Great game, bad decision making, bad management, lack of planning.

I somehow feel they’re putting themselves in the gamers’ shoes when they make these business rules/decisions.

Just “oh i have an idea, lets add this rule and profit”.

There’s so many limitations to trading and the market in general that it’s more than likely hurting any chances of the game developing a good economy. People are likely going to overinflate prices in order to make up for the time spent waiting. By sheer cause and effectoPeople will stop relying on the market as a way to find items.

If monetary based 1:1 trading is want you want, IMC, then that’s fine. At this rate however, you’re going to alienate a good chunk of your fanbase, namely the ones that can’t really afford TP. These policies hurt the players in general, but are especially harmful to those without premium.

Personally, as someone who’s actually willing to shell out cash, I’m beginning to lose interest in spending any more money. Just now, the inability to trade silver kept me from buying a spear at a fair price that would otherwise be overpriced in the market. The 30 minute delay time for items to appear in market made it so someone likely swiped the item that me and a seller had agreed to a price on.

These practices need to be changed before the F2P OB, or you’re going to end up with a very small player base.
