10 AH SlotsFollow

First of all, I'd like to thank the Dev team for listening to our suggestions! You seem much better at it lately, so keep up the good work!

I'm sure this has been suggested several times since way back in 2003, but I'd really like the ability to sell 10 things at once instead of just 7. Implementing this when you merge all the AHs together would be an appropriate time (the AH merge is actually happening, right?).

Doing this would be a nice way to fight against the current rising prices by increasing the supply of most trade goods. (Am I the only one that thinks the AH looks a bit sparse these days?) I find myself NPCing most cheap and random drops because I need the AH space for selling more expensive items.

This would be a blessing to new/low-level players with tons of cheap junk to get rid of and also to crafters who could use all that junk! It would also slightly alleviate inventory space issues for everyone.

You could create quests (like gobbiebag quests) to be able to unlock the 8th, 9th, and 10th slots.

I can't help but wonder why this hasn't already been done. Server memory? PS2 limitations? RMT abuse? None of those sound right... Please give us 10 AH slots!

Well when they merge the 4 AHs into 1, they'll have plenty of memory to spare! So please make this happen after the merge.

Thanks again for all the great work so far, Dev team!

personally I have always felt that the AH should be a semi player controlled thing. I would like to see all items be in stock, however the price of those items very on the amount the player base puts on auction. Essentially it would be like a massive NPC shop whose prices fluctuated on the supply and demand.

For example a stack of crystals would go for a relatively low price, it may cost 1.5K and you may sell them for 2K. But the price of say a KC would be much higher due to the fact players do not often put them onto the AH, you may see it go for 30-40 mil buy 35-45 sell.

This would eliminate all issues of getting gear at the lower - mid levels, as well as allow players to make instant transactions for money rather than wait 7 days t see if something sells. Further more it would free up some resources in the system to put elsewhere, like maybe an expanded Dbox (an extra 7 slots would be nice to have for muling and such)

This... Actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Not a perfect idea by any means, as some items would drop in price drastically as the AH is effectively "creating" items and as we all know, increased supply means crashing prices sooner or later, but this would at most effect Kclubs and things like the new bullets, the latter of which I'm sure would be welcome.

Beats the alternative though.

I'd love to see 10 spaces especially with the consolidation of Auction Houses. But as was said above, it wouldn't ease the ability to see items be stocked more. People just don't craft as much any longer or farm crafting materials for gil. With prices dropping rapidly on older gear, from demand being low. Some give in from paying excessive Auction House fees and just NPC it.

As much as I'd love the idea of seeing a fully stocked Auction House. Having the option to purchase an Auction House created equivalent at a higher percentage than the current price history would be immensely complicated and abused. It wouldn't take long before the members of the playerbase got hip to buying/selling expensive items repeatedly at 1 gil to drive down the price of Auction House created equivalents.

I would be happy if they just added everything that is not Rare and/or Ex to current NPC's or new shops. Even if it was at an inflated price. I think we are unfortunately at a stage in the game's life where crafting would need a huge overhaul to be competitive with Abyssea and Trial of the Magians.

I believe it was a problem with servers handling AH being overloaded. But unless they are still running the same old hardware, that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Newer hardware, newer software, less AH traffic, less players.

there should not be a limit, all that does is make people NPC more because of inventory space issues.

I think SE just had the limit because of PS2 limitations or something, does other mnos have it? i know WoW has no limit.
