For example, if one flower usually sells for 5g, you could put one in for 20g, then someone would put it for 19 and someone for 18 and so on. In WoW for example, if you wanted to put in a flower and there were no flowers in the auction house already, YOU could set the price for how much they will be selling.
By looking at this you can approximately see for how much an item is going. "The marketplace is capable of displaying the history and trends of item values." This part just made my day. They are only *checks watch* 5 years late to the party.- Corsair Yarrr 17:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC) (Reset indent) I know, great feature, huh.
It is soooo much better than sitting in Spamadan for 5 hours trying to sell your useless storage clutter awesome greens and weapon mods D: ~ Bow 17:22, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Īt fucking last! Q_Q - Super Igor 17:25, 19 June 2010 (UTC) Yeah the Grand Exchange in Runescape is actually pretty awesome. Thank goodness they're implementing this. Like I said: Time will tell! Ge4ce 17:09, (UTC)įeature looks awesome. In the end karma will have a sort of gold price included, as items can be graded depending on usage or statistics.
This also rises my question if Karma items are character-bind, or can be sold or send to whoever (own characters included) you wish. One can't avoid the fact you will have people that will take advantage of it, be it positively or negatively. I guess more in a way of 'In how many ways can this feature be abused?' But then again, every MMO economy is based on supply and demand. Maybe other MMOs felt that this system wouldn't be accepted well or something? - Aman nelle 13:22, (UTC)
I mean, Runescape is by no means the "leader of MMOs", which is why I was so shocked when they implemented a feature that other MMOs seemed to have overlooked for so long. "why didn't other MMO's have this system? " That is a really good question, and quite frankly I don't know the answer. Isn't it rather normal to register bought and sold items in this time of age? See how many X's have sold and how many Y's have been made, while Z's have been transported to location A? Though we're just discussing the basics of this feature, why didn't other MMO's have this system? Was the technique outside php (or whatever they used at runescape) not possible? I guess time will tell about how this Marketplace, and it's auction, will really work. :D Finally a HIGH quality game doing this. So, yeah, that's why I'm excited for The Marketplace. But then, all of a sudden they do THIS and it's like "whoa." with the charts showing daily percentage rates, a constantly updating header, and multiple tabs to see price progression averages over 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days. But, like I said, it was always quite low quality. Well, for the longest time Runescape was just this sort of low-quality f2p game that was popular mainly because it didn't require any sort of downloads. Then again, not including a marketplace/auction house again would simply have been a mistake on Anet's part :D - NilePenguin 11:39, (UTC) Never played runescape and never will, but this makes me happy. I'm sure this tactic applied in GW2 would be incredible. xD But, there's only so much you can do in Runescape. Lol that's what I did on runescape, and I ended up making tons of money and getting many regular customers. One way to take over the economy! Muwuhahahaha! Ge4ce 18:16, (UTC) Sitting all day long, selling and buying and buying and selling. Yup.Grand exchange was too good for Runescape.- N eil 2250 17:42, (UTC) Buy low, sell high, eh? ) - Aman nelle 16:46, (UTC) I loved tracking the "stock rates" more or less, checking which items are selling high and which ones are selling low.
OMG that's exactly what I thought too! I know, the Grand Exchange was the most amazing update I've seen in Runescape. Is it just me or does this strongly resemble the Grand Exchange in from RuneScape? If so, GOOD! That thing was the only update in the last ten years that was an improvement for that game. They really like their out of game web browser function :P - Albino Ace 10:52, (UTC)Įxcellent indeed.
