Why is noone bothered by inexistent market?
« on: December 07, 2013, 03:38:53 pm »
Why is noone bothered by inexistence of any market which could provide trade between players? After some years of existence of fonline scores of features were succesfully implemented yet no player driven market was even attempted. Which is weird for game where is most of stuff player made and everything lootable. I have several ideas why is that.

1) most of people live in communistic factions where all stuff is on pile and people randomly take from and put stuff in it.
2) everyone is able to craft/farm everything in no time
3) to provide gameplay for people who like to stand in NCR and try to sell stuff
4) to make game harder and less friendly for noobs
5) technical reasons: hard to make npc holding buy/sell orders

Elaborate....

I would appreciate ingame options for better player trade,
but the forum works ok for that. At least it does for me so far.

I would at least like the prices in shops to be somewhat dependant on supply and demand, 500 stack of buffout 400 caps a piece. Just a little rediculous, 150 power sledges going for 3600 caps each and thats only 500 under what the guy with one powersledge is selling it for.

Gee I sure wish this game had an economy like 2238. so that I could go to a trader and have them not buy anything from me. I wish IU could spend hours organizing my items and dragging random groups of stuff in different directions, only to find that the guy who came 5 minutes before me cleaned out the caps, forcing me to wait overloaded and then get killed by some lowlife, in a crime of opportunity.

They made the game better. Stop trying to turn it back into shit!
