I think that the whole pet system added an interesting economic element that allowed players to really delve into the whole economic/customer aspect of the game. Sure people tossed their pet shops everywhere but the players making the real money are placing theirs where they will be a convenience and where they will attract the most customers for their product. That and they will also have to find a way to make theirs stick out with a creative/effective message or simply by name. It allowed another element to making money besides being an effective undercutter.

I really enjoyed that aspect of the game in FFXI and If there was a simple method to ignore them I can't help but wonder why it was felt that they should be removed from the game entirely.

There not gonna crawl to u all now and say, ohh noooz most of the players (5%) that brows the forums don't want it removed.

IF u want players shops (pets) to work, u have to discard the Ah all together, make sort of a bazaar with the layout of the AH (for example red and blue aeria's) with a central where bankers/merchants are, in witch players can browse trough,
Look for an item, then push button find player and there will be sort of a whisp appearing guiding u to that specific pet.

Same for buying, say go to blue aeria brows pet barter system, same as above klick on pet's name push find player, and some whisp will guide to to whomever is buying ur mats, if not go to merchant in the central aeria and sell it there or hold on to it.

Now the only thing bluehole have to do is let go of the % of money/gold they get from each sale, U dont need to be afraid there will be too mutch gold in the game by Not asking a percentage each buy/sell.



Ps: yeah i know its from the Old EQ but it was a good system, don't allow pets to stand nearer than 1 pet anime together, to prevent people standing on top of eachother and u have a viable system outside ah.

• Removed private stores – we removed private stores from TERA so we could make the broker system the central hub of the player economy. We’ve increased the limit of items that can be sold from 8 to 50 and think this will help players to go to one place to find whatever they need



• Implemented Bind on Pickup (BoP) items – For some items, we’ve implemented a BoP system which lets us give better equipment to players without having to worry as much about RMT farming items.



• Removed Boxes of Mischief – I personally have a negative winning streak with these, and overall we felt that it was a chance based system that frustrated more players than it benefited. We removed them and used the space in the loot drop tables to chances for other cool things to drop





Thanks!

First off, the big issue is the removal of pets. I personally enjoy them, and don't mind the AH system. Personally I think it is a bad move removing the pets entirely. Maybe just limit them to certain areas as previously suggested or also just keep the buy feature. Don't get rid of them completely though. A lot of people are preaching that if EME continues the way they are, they will be turning TERA into a regular MMO. Now it's unique and will always be unique, but part of these statements are true.

BoP, this poses a problem to me, I really don't know what I would do with those items that I can't sell, trade, or use. Can you answer me that question? I really enjoyed having BoE. I thought it was unique and if I didn't need it or could do better by profiting from it than I could, Now I can't.

Boxes of Mischief, out of the content update, this is probably your smartest move. I didn't enjoy them and thought they were a waste of space.

I'm not going to read to new 30+ pages I didn't read over the weekend.

But I did read a few and most of you players supporting the player shops being taken out are saying the same thing.... Weak arguments at best bringing nothing new to the table

A) The auction house doesn't need to be replaced.. KTera has both and now has both with the 50 updates and things are running fine... People are not going to be using Player shops for anything important except easy consumables and crafting materials.

B) I was quoted a few times saying that this is everything other MMO's have but you are wrong.. Tera's player shops are polished and have different features other MMO's do not have. So Yes it is different.

C) Taking away a huge part of the game just because you all think it's annoying when none of you even knew you could turn it off bothers me. Plain and simple now that you know you can turn it off how can that bother you... It's an option you either choose it or choose not to see it.

D) People using false percentage saying only 5% of people on the forums saying they should keep it is wrong..

D-1) Why because I can use hyperbole too by saying only 5% of the Forums want it and 5% of the forums want to get rid of it the other 90% couldn't give a rats [filtered] either way.

In the end It really doesn't make since to get rid of options leaving us with less options.

TERA will be like all the other WoW clones out there with a mask "action combat"

I dont see how this LFD feature will help TERA at all.
LFD port you directly to the dungeon/instance, there goes OwPVP,
bunch of Elin castanics standing around town dancing waiting for LFD to pop up, less lag for them since player shop is removed how convenience is that? very westernize i like it!

There wouldn't be any lag even if there were still playershops you could just turn off the playershops.

Besides if they do the LFD where it ports you to the dungeon now you have less to do while waiting :P no playershops = bored wait times.

Lol what the hell is the problem with removing pet shops? Like seriously, what are you guys even mad about? OMG I CAN'T SELL STUFF NOW, oh wait, no, I can.. there is the auction house and the trade chat... so why am I mad again? What do pet shops bring to the game that cannot be achieved by these other methods.

Facts are simple: Pet shops bring nothing to the table and annoy more people than not. So why should they be in the game?

It's not about that we know that you can still sell stuff in the AH but the fact is the pet shops are part of the game... It's a polished feature that was nice to have..

The other reason is a filter to filter them out already existed... There was no reason to get rid of them at all....

Let's say Skan you really really love crafting well none of us americans do crafting is such an asian thing.... So instead of EME just leaving crafting alone they get rid of it when the actual solution was to just let the people who hate crafting not craft.....

Crafting brings nothing to the table you can get better gear from dungeons yada yada using the same stupid argument you are using.

it made zero sense to get rid of them... They will never replace the AH and they already had filters to get rid of them sooooo the real question is why did they get rid of something they did not need to get rid of....
