What needs to be done to actually get to change the market place?

no items are up for sale because its ridiculous to set up a good item and pay the fee, no one looks at the market anymore
the only thing the market is used for is for 1fg items or for trading an item when the trade was discussed via d2jsp or pms before

there were times where you searched for high ee items and you didn't know which one to buy
but now there is no single item on the market

would be way better to pay the fee ONLY when the items are actually sold
you shouldn't pay a fee when you set up an item up for trade

would be good for new players but also for the majority sitting on items that might eventually get sold

any comments or ideas?

yes ofc that would be better
but thats an endless story
no new members, noone could sell items bla bla bla
paul dont change the right things

u have to understand that you can control the fg with ls where 10 players active
so its rly important that there is a fee and vault costs ^^ xD xD

I agree with this completely!

The reason ppl dont trade more expensive items over market is because of the low player base and low demand, it has nothing to do with the fee at all.
Reason why fee is there is to not flood the market with crap.
I like it the way it is.

there cant be unlimited items to be put up without a fee upfront.. else some guys would use the market like a vault to safe space.
but i would like a limited number of items that can be put up on the mp without having to pay fees upfront (at a higher price than 19.98 fg obviously.. possibly "unlimited") (like 3-5 items for example). this could help a lot allready.

Grats on mediator. I think that is new since I been gone!

Agreed, 3 items no upfront fee would be awesome. Would allow us to list some nice items without fear that will not sell. And if the 15 active players use it as vault storage who gives a shit; it's only a few items and wouldn't give anyone a vault advantage.

This is a great idea!! I have definitely been happy buying things that were listed for over 20 FG from the market place for more than they were worth (those rare times someone was willing to risk the fee). It makes a big difference for me--having a conversation with someone about price over the course of 2-3 days versus buying the item from the Market and using it right away. However, you simply can't find quality items on the Market, just usable temps... when things are listed on the Market over 20 FG, they are usually like 75 - 250 (3.75 - 12.5 FG risked). This seems like a good fix to me; how do we get Paul to implement it?

This has been suggested about a million times over the past 6 years, i do think more stuff would be on the market place, but really what we need is better drop rates.

The way to be is that items don't time out on the market.
The fee comes out when the item is removed from the market whether is be via sale or the owner takes them down
