I was hoping maybe we could run a poll to start Player Owned Shops.

I do enjoy the way that trading is handled in Alora but it takes quite awhile to flip and/or sell anything.

The reason for this is that the TP isn't very helpful in merching. Basically, someone needs to be looking for a specific item for the TP to work.

Now yes, I understand that there is a player search option and of course you can advertise a sale under your name, however I believe there is a better way to do this.

So I suggest a specific location in which players can open and maintain their shops. 

Also, in regards to the shops, please allow it to be AFK. This way, I can simply leave my shop open all night and hope that items sell.

I understand its close to the same thing as the TP, but it isn't.

I feel like it's absolutely fine the way it is at the moment. As you said there is a specific player search option with other options such as specific item search, view recent, etc. 

The way it's set up at the moment is nice for the buyer because you can search "toxic blowpipe" and list them in order of prices whereas your idea you would have to go through shop after shops to find one for the lowest price.

No support.

I'm not asking them to remove the TP. I enjoy it. I'm asking to add in an additional option for a player owned shop, say in... Varrock square or something.

How would this be implemented though? You cant expect a location with 3k NPCs as player shops. Maybe an update to the existing TP to add usernames instead of having to player search. Maybe next to their name, the GP amount that is posted in their TP.

Sounds a bit too complicated to implement and also the way the TP works is basically the same as the way the GE works in OSRS. What you are asking for is basically the GE and the TP is pretty similar to it already, no support.

I quite like the way the trading post works and I have seen no issues with it as of yet. It's is actually quite easy to perch on it from my experience. 

 

No Support from me this time buddy.

I believe this has been suggested before and denied, the TP is fine for merching (check out people like "THE SHOP", there are many other merchers too that are very successful).

I understand what u are saying. It's just.. In my opinion.. A lot of work for something that's not gonna make 'trading' very different.

As the day of today I can keep my Alt account selling items all weekend. Ofcourse u can promote it a little thrue yell. But TP is good for what it is now.

I also do not support this suggestion. The trade post is fine as is, and merching is still possible to do on Alora with its current system.

No support, I don't think there's enough reason to implement this right now.
