False Advertising

cds96 · #1 09-08-2001, 08:51 PM

People are putting a pearl or an apple on for sale and then putting a hat on top. So when you see the hat for 100g its actully the apple. Rone just spent 100g on an apple thinging he would get a hat, but he didnt, but because I told him I THINK you might get both he said ok and both it, and only got the apple. Please be aware, this is not scamming, its false advertising and im not sure if the police can do anything about it.

What's the market like? When I went on for the last time there were like 50 people massing "Open the damn Market"

lol

The market is south of Bomboria and it's basically 8 stands. You can display up to 6 things per stand (although there is the bug)

People rent them out for 1 gralat every half an hour real time, and it certainly does cut down on masses and toalls about buying things

well make it so they can put the same item in the same spot for the same price but not 2 different items nor 2 different prices...

because I put like all my apples in 1 spot for all the same price then I have room for my intrements and other stuff for the spots next to it

What's the point of selling apples anyway? If you sell them for 2 gralats, the player makes no money, and just has to do more work to get the cash back. If you sell them for 1 gralat, you're just losing money....

You sell apples for 2 gralats so the ignorant (those who don't know better) buy them. And I believe when putting things on stand it should work like the trading system in the trade house. What item? How many? How much?

Yes might be better but the scripting would get too
complicated because there are many different items
(items layed with trading item, hats, food) so
just laying them down / moving them is simplier to make.
But for things like apples there should probably be
some way to sell a bunch of them at once.

And it might be good to add Maraca and
uncrafted gems to the trading item.

whitey19_29 · #19 09-09-2001, 12:10 PM

ya there should be an instrument tool

konidias · #20 09-09-2001, 12:12 PM

It's been fixed now, thanks stefan

Yeah some more things need to be added to the trading item.. I think it would be nice to have a quantity of items like a bundle or something.. Like you could sell 20 apples together for a certain price, instead of selling one at a time.

Of course I love how the placing of items is now, it's easy to place one and having to answer 3 or 4 questions just to put an item on the table would get to be a hassle.
