Now that we are discussing shops and such, I'll ask
this question: Isn't it lame that everyone sells
their crap to the same out-of-tune shop ?!

How dumb is that? We have over a hundred cities or
areas with stores, but only one of them gets used!

It should be that each boot only one or two randomly
chosen shops would give out this better price on eq.
Players would have to find these shops and maybe
once a boot the shopkeeper would even advertise the
good prices.

This would be a nice bonus for playercities and
certainly lower the amount of cash coming into the
game (flowerists weep!) since not all would find the
good store each boot. Not to mention the exploration
aspect.


A robust, ghastly weaponsmith shouts 'Paying batium
for yer wares, 95% of normal price!'

The armourer of Kepustan shouts 'Buying you armour
for a gooood price!!'

So people who are on Qurp's enemy list don't get to take advantage of "gooood
price" ? I don't support giving players the power to restrict access to
"gooood shops" like this nosunrise guy is saying. If orion has this "gooood
shop" perhaps I put up blocking guards and charge admission then I get even
MORE profit!
Leave it as is, not everyone uses the same shops, convenience is important
too.

It's not in the interest of the playercity owner
to block access to his stores. Besides, you can
let your friends sell your crap or wait for next
boot or find another shop (assuming there are two).
Also, most stores are still in areas, not cities.

Not really that big of a deal. Anyways, the
current situation still blows.
