WTB in bazaar

[Yakk]

I think the EQ bazaar needs a WTB interface.

You set up your trader, and make it WTB 200 spiderling silks for 2 pp each.

I'd assume in order to get a WTB setup you'd need a link to the item to start with.

I suspect something like this would help the collecting of things like spiderling silks and other components. =)

Some possible downsides:
1> Someone using it to corner the market on a good.
2> Removes an active component to tradeskill component gathering (bazaar trolling)
3> Will have unpredictable effects on the economy.
4> Effort it would take SOE to code.

The interface would need to let you set the specific item (not just name)
The number required
The price to pay

The interface would need to check that you had enough money to pay for all the items that you proposed to buy

i.e. to set it up to buy 20000 spiderling silks at 10pp you would need to have 200000pp on you.

This was actually how I thought that the bazzar would work before it it came out :-)

There is a post on GU forums similar to this one and I think one or two on the EQ live boards.

I personally love the idea, and with the new "hide traders" it would not even increase lag that much.

It would be great to be able to be a sell and a buy trader at the same time (but I bet that would take more code)

Moved to OOC since this isn't tradeskill related. Carry on!
