Has anyone even mentioned yet, about the poor egg/pet shop now being an ugly no npc area?


It does seem pretty silly that we went from a useful landscape filled with this:



to a landscape filled with this uselessness:



At least there was an option in the UI to disable the shop visuals in the first image. Too bad the same isn't true for the mote spam in the second.

Hey, but according to the developers that's what we all wanted, right?

Hopefully the obt experience stresses this point a little more.
Now that people have seen two obvious effects of pet shop removal.

1) Ah supply is locked down and controlled by a few people. There's no longer a direct barter layer making the micromanaging of supply nearly impossible.

2) Gold spammers/power levelers are now spamming general chat, instead of using shops.
Rmt will exist regardless. You cannot remove it, only direct it down a channel that's less annoying.

Well I do want playshops back in game...

The gold spammers will just end up using both shops and chat channels. So saying this doesn't actually matter

The best way to not worry about Gold spammers is to just limit what shops can say and advertise.

Yes Auction House are always locked down by the few people who spend the time doing it right. Even more so in the future when the AH bots start getting created for this game.

Not a chance in hell I would wade through that sea of nonsense reading each one to find whatever it was I wanted.

Then why didn't you just use the filter that was created in the game already available for you.

DERP DURR DERP.

It's nice that this thread exists because now everyone can openly see all the tards that play this game.

If Pet shops were around, if people have the time to control the market on the AH, they can buy the stuff off the pet shops right in Velika, too.

That second pic is just down right sad. Those pet's shops could've really turned into something. They were innovative and an endearing aspect in the game. It'd be great if they brought them back. :oT

This is worthless. It's one of the reasons XIV was a flop at release because it had NO ah and only worthless as hell player shops. Doesn't matter what extras are ontop of the shops. The more convenience you add to the shops just makes it closer to an auction house.
