World [new] In-game Player Shops

Heya!
So I have recently been wandering the endless abyss of filth (otherwise known as the forums), and I have found that forum shops have many... complications. I have also been toying around with a simple idea in my mind that would not only make the buying and selling of items easier, but much less annoying as well. So lets get right into the suggestion;

The Basis: (summarized into bullet points for your convenience)
- Each player could have their own individual "shop" (which makes it different from the common /ah command, as with this, there is a space for every player rather than one collective market)
- Players could hold an item in their hand and type something along the lines of "/shop sell (price)"
- The item would disappear from their hand and be placed into their "shop"
- Other players could then do "/shop view (player name)" to open that specific player's shop interface and view its contents
- The shop could stay active even when the player is offline, and if another player were to purchase an item, the emeralds would be automatically added to their bank/inventory.

Additional... Additions:
- Players could possibly buy more rows of shop space, allowing them to sell more items at one time (doubling this as a money sink of course because you know me, I just love my money sinks in these suggestions)

And that concludes my suggestion! Thank you for viewing and please provide feedback!

 

it should be purchasers have to leave an offer, because prices change hella fast
also like what? fair pricing?

 

Well a player could always take an item out of their shop and resell it for the updated price

 

what a fucking pain

 

How would players know who's shop to look at?

 

Chat advertisement, etc?

Its even more of a pain to change it on the forums

 

actually it isn't, because anyone without moral integrity forces the buyer to offer first, and literally all you have to do to update shop is fill your inv and then link

also forum shops have pleasing aesthetics

 

Chat advertisement would require you to be in crowded areas a lot, and be quite active in chat. There would also be a lot of chat spam and people with shout bombs would have an advantage.

Updating forum shops are tiring when you're adding new items but that's why I wait and do it in large bursts. When someone buys something, it takes like 10 seconds to edit the main post and less than 5 seconds to bump the post.

 

I dont think it should be ingame just maybe in the trade market section of the forums there is a special type of thread more fitting for stores because currently it can be a bit confusing.

 

I sort of like the idea of items that are sold to item buyers being buyable at a 'market place shop' in Detlas and Cinfras and Relos. You get paid when you sell to the item buyer, and then people can buy those items from the store.

 

A major feature missing from the game IMO is the auction house

 

auction HOUSE?

i like the idea, but it doesnt seem to fit "wynncraft"

 

OH GOD ITS A HOUSING THREAD EVERYONE LEAVE!!! Jk. This would be a cool idea as long as maybe you could only acsess in a certain area like a cinfras auction ... area ... from which you could only get items that were posted there

Also in the future could you make less biased polls? for example maybe some people like the idea but not to the degree of OH MY GOD YES!!!! :) @Tryrant

 

i mean most mmorpgs in the same fantasy setting as wynncraft have an auction house now, i don't think it feels that out of place

 

An auction house could work but not like “/ah” maybe only a certain building where it could be accessed

 

I marked out the word "House" with red letters because housing threads (joke). But yeah.

 

Did you say...

H O U S I N G?

 

yeah, of course, I'd imagine a new building in each city for that kind of stuff!
