The many what 'ifs'...
« on: May 23, 2007, 02:13:32 am »
Well here is another question/suggestion of mine. It has to do with merchants. ::|

Just wondering, what if the merchants could sell stuff that was sold to them?  ;)
Example. I have a worn sword but don't have the know how to repair it yet, it's a great sword and worth a fortune, but I sell it to Harn. Now wouldn't it be neat if someone "who" has the know how to repair could then buy it from Harn and keep it for him/herself?  \\o//

Not sure if this was suggested already, but it's something I thought would be neat. I have the elderscrolls for my xbox and I'm able to do that in there, so I thought it would be a niffty question to put out there!

i think thats a prime example of why a more diverse economy is needed IG... that scenario ends better if you sell it to another player directly... or if you simply pay for repair service... anything to ensure its us the players involved in the transaction and not Harnquist or any other NPC

Do you really think the developers haven't realised a system like that is better?
The reason it's not implemented yet is not because they don't want it but because we're still at 0.3 here and other stuff is needed first.

arnt NPCs part of the world? if we try and increase PC to PC trading and leaving the NPCs out its kinda like racism. "I dont want to trade to harn cause hes a NPC."

and also, NPCs are real people to your character. You shouldnt judge a character IG about OOC views.

I think this is a good idea, items sold to any merchant NPC shouldnt just disappear. And its like a used car sale, you sell your car, someone else buys it. Everyones happy  :whistling:

No sorry I didn't, that's why I was asking about it. :-[

     No offense, but ppl need to realise that not everybody is a computer genius or a senior player. And if we are suggesting something, or asking about something, there's a good chance that it's because we don't know. And that we didn't search through the hundreds and hundreds of posts to find out. I don't see the problem with answering in a nice fashion. Or if you've seen this topic or suggestion, just say so or don't even reply.
    Nothing I wrote is meant as a rude remark or sarcasism. It's just plain honest opinions and questions. I hope the dev team isn't taking any of this stuff personally! But really, it was just a suggestion/question. Now if something like this is already in the works, wich it obviously is, or has been thought of. I don't see the harm in just saying. "hey that's a good idea, and it's something that's being worked on or that has already been thought of."

     Sorry, I'm just tired of seeing the kind of rude messages and/or sarcasim in replies. Maybe Tom didn't mean anything by it. But man, replies like that certainly make me feel stupid  :oops:

"If yah ain't got nothin nice to say, then don't say anything at all!" :'(

If it did seem offensive to you, sorry.

Thom...I wasn't sure. And I said that in the above post as well. But I guess it's was bit sarcastic to me...

Was just also expressing from previous posts. Sorry if I took it a little too personal  :flowers:

Guess I was reading posts before getting back to this one and somehow read it as sarcasim. Maybe it's the way it was put. Either way, sorry if I took it offensively, but it's hard to understand someone's tone when things are written a certain way.

No hard feelings... :-*
