I've always been in the "I hate what the bazaar" did to the game camp. I'm also willing to understand that what I and others like about face-to-face trading is excruciating to those that don't care to trade- just game.

Original EQ was a world. Worlds have conflict, resolution, an economy, and so on...

I loved the economy of face-to-face trading. I like to haggle. I understand that many don't. It's obvious when I trade all the time. Very few folks even attempt to haggle. I always list my price. Few folks haggle and make a counteroffer. When they do, it's game time!

I've never looted an item in game worth more than 2000p, but my toon and my wife's toon are fairly well geared AND I managed to purchase the pieces to a full suit of rubicite. I only ever got a bracer and boots in live, so I wanted to get that set here =)

Ah! Farming, selling, buying, selling! One stop shop! I'll cut a deal, I'll haggle! Most droppable items drop in EC!

Okay. I realize I'm silly, but I love non-bazaar trading. With the bazaar, there was almost never room for haggling. Even if there were, it was almost never instant. Leave a tell... come back later.... *sigh*

The bazaar was good for keeping prices down. The thing I hated about it the most, is that people would undercut you by 1pp. In most cases, this was good enough to get their item sold.

If people would effin' haggle, prices would set themselves in the same manner.

When I went shopping for an item in the bazaar, and found one for 1p less than another... I'd buy the higher priced one just because I thought the 1p less was a dick move. Kind of like The Price Is Right bidding... A bids 100 B bids 101 and wins...

I always thought, if you're going to undercut, then DO it! If someone has an item up at 200... a proper undercut is 185.

I always price matched (as I do in EC) and let fate decide who sold.

That's great! I would do exactly the same thing. Undercutting by 1p just seemed a weiner move.

There is no "proper" undercut, anything that is one unit of the lowest currency less than the other lowest price for said item is 100% perfectly valid.

This extends to real life as well, there are no intrinsic "rules" to sales.

Bazaar ftw btw.

Space cats do not break the fantasy setting, but they would break the atmosphere the server strives for.

This same debate happens on UO emulators that attempt to recreate a certain atmosphere. There's always a group of people who want new housing designs and there's always a group of people who want to maintain the atmosphere they signed up for in the first place.

[Hitchens]

People always grow bored of emulators and leave and they are replaced by new players who will eventually grow bored and leave as well. And the cycle goes on.

Velious is like Metallica's "...And Justice For All" album. Last album I could listen to front to back was Justice....after that I found myself picking and choosing what I did/didn't like.

Same thing with EQ. Velious was the last expansion I was 100% content with. After that, I found myself picking and choosing between the pros and cons of each expansion. I felt Luclin/PoP had enough Pros to balance out the Cons, unfortunately beyond that the Cons consistently started to outweigh the Pros.

I feel most of the community agrees with this concept, so it's pointless for me to blah blah blah my opinions on what I didn't like/dislike, but I think since the devs have mentioned "custom content past Velious", it is something for us to start to think about once Velious is released.
