Some missing things from factions?

Now there was talk of auction houses and a use for rubies and saphires. I distinctly remember the frog mentioning something about customizing armor with them and crafting jewelry. I know an expanded storage was said to be in the works. The official release was some time ago and yet none of these additions have came to be. Has anet totally cast them aside (and if so i think it would be a travisty) or are they still in the works. Thank you for your time

Slayd Deathbringer.

if you check the dev forum, glance at a few of the chatlogs and you'll see that atleast the storage issue is being implemented... sometime...eventually.

Chapter 19: The Improved Storage Quest

Something else that is missing:

What happened to Gwen?????

it just came out.

the frog apologized for the gem mistake

expanded storage was never promised with a specific chapter but would be streamed into all chapters when they decided how to do it.

same for IMPROVED TRADING SYSTEM (many times stated improved trading sysyem may not be an auction house)

I can imagine the rigorous decision-making process and the meetings held twice a week on the issue whether to add 10 or 15 slots to the xunlai agent and how it will impact anet's long-term business model.

actually we may already have a look at it in the form of a 10 dollar mule character holding the equivalet of 2.25 storage vaults.

i dont think thats the case but merely a possibility

I'm not paying any money just so I can comfortably store all the crap and crafting materials I collect because I'm a pack rat. I want it for free!

new UW & FoW is still missing and the rest of cantha too

smart money is on a mid-late summer expansion similar to Sorrow's Furnace.

any takers?

It is a shame that the promises and hints were not acted on. Many players invested in all those gems etc. Were lead to expectations for improved storage and improved customisation of weapons (don't play with words around improved increased etc it makes you look small).

Anet knows what we want. Anet hinted that we would get it through the frog. Everyone bought factions. Now we find out that none (or very little of it) was actually provided.

I know the rants have been stated already.

I just think Anet has to be carefull not to disappoint its customers.

I mean, auction houses are done elsewhere. Anet knows we want one. Why not just do it? Same with gems. They promised a use for them. It's not hard to incoporate one (they did with glass vials and monster claws). Why not just do it? It's not that hard!!! We are your customers telling you what we want. You can do it. So, why don't you?

very very good points Irongate...

I;d really like to know what the big hold up is as well.

For over a year they've been maiking changes after changes which we certainly appraciate.....but when are they gonna tackle those few things we've been asking for since day 1?

It's not like we're asking for the moon here.....

We're asking for the same nessecesties many other MMO's already enjoy.

I understand their are many issues with how it will effect the economy and such . Increased storages means farmers can store more etc etc. Imporved trades mean Farmers can move more matrial faster.

The simple solution of course is tax the trades done on the Auction house or whatever it is...the more trading you do the higher your tax...set a max number of transactions per day per player. (this is nothing new done on at least 3 MMO's I can think of).

anyhow I'm sure other have much better Ideas....but still ....when?

when?!

and why the hold up?

We're calling you out on the carpet Anet.

If I remember correctly I thought Gaile mentioned something about town clothes too?

and you are right.

she said she liked the idea and would pass it on.

Just a thought...even if there are auction houses added to the game, what is to stop people from selling in the outposts and clogging up the local chat?

and Civilian clothes would be sweet.

Conical Hats for our toons.

and no i wont give up :P

PS: all the other things mentioned before above, i am still looking forward to guild vault and the AH and the "reconnect" buttion that was promised by Jeff Strain.

Simple

A special filter that catches <number>{kK} and instantly logged out the user, deleting his or her account

I don't mind if people do that. I would rather not waste my precious playing time that way. I just want somewhere to dump my stuff for sale and let people buy it if they want it, so I can carry on playing the game (PvE and PvP) instead of standing in town.

yeah if ppl want to spend all day spamming to sell who cares....though I bet it would signifigantly decrease the amount of said spammming

point is I don't want to have to do that to sell my stuff....

though admittedly I usualy sell most stuff to vendors....just because I have no time to sit around spamming WTS all day.

instead of complaints i offer a temporary (maybe permanent) solution.

how many of you would be in favor of 2-3 new merchants

one for purples one for golds one for greens

these merchants would give a decent price and let you get a worthwile sale from an item nobody will pay for anyway as it is a few points short of perfect.

if most of the things that are too poor to sell but too good for merchant fodder could be gotten rid of fast and easy that would free up the trade channel a lot.

any opinions anybody?
