Not necessary remove it, just make them local.
Well, good thing:
- it will makes resellers live a tougher live.
Bad thing:
- It will be even harder to find the (L) stuff you need. If you've' ever hunted with Sulfury(L) blades and you want a new one in the middle of a hunt (because you don't have 2k ped on your card as buffer) you understand what I mean.
Shops will become competitive against auction again.[/QUOTE]
There are two problem with *this*:
First, at lest for me, visting certain types of shops (those carrying "custimized" items) are virtually impossible for me to visit. Well, I can visit them but I need to wait 30 seconds for each item to turn up.
Secondly, while shops suits traders and crafters well, they're less ideal for hunters who want to sell their looted armor parts/looted weapons. And having 10 shops that each one, potentially, carry let's say Hermes Shinguards, will make it harder to answer this question: "Are there at least one piece of each availible on the market so I can get a full set of hermes".
Sure, it will open an opportunity for traders, but I doubt the typical mid-level players wants higher costs to play.
Maybe, just a thought, that there are well known auctioneers who go in for certain types of items. Let's say in Port Atllantis you have a tool auctioneer, in Twin Peaks a weapon auctioneer, at Cape Corinth a clothes auctioneer and so on.
But as someone probably will tell you, some people prefer to visit the auctioneer in a servicecenter where there aren't any other people. Especially since VU 10.9.
