  • Bazaar Obstructions

    Large Races. /rude ogres and trolls that decide to park on TOP of me. I woke up one morning to more than a dozen tells from a guy who REALLY wanted something I was selling (because I had the best price) and he finally gave up. When I F9'ed out, I saw a troll. My Bazaar Trader is a human monk.

    Horses. /rude people on horses, because there's no way in heck that someone's going to be able to get the right-click on the -toon- and not the -horse-, even if Leved, behind on a crate, and standing on the horse's posterior. Even when standing INSIDE the trader toon. Nada.

    Long weapons. /rude people with long lances, bigger maces, and even the ones who happen to somehow end up in a permanent stance where their weapon(s) is(are) sticking out to the side. It effectively does two things: blocks the rest of the stall they're in from other people from setting up, and it wastes space.

    People who log out in the walls. /bonk people who log out inside a wall, cause when they come back, sometimes they end up on TOP of the stalls. Or on the stall braces.

          Shameless Tinkering Plug

          Why bother a poor shaman when you can fund your local Gnome and purchase a Maximizing Device? Grow at any time!

            Bah people park directly on top of you on purpose, god knows why. I actually watched someone maneuver for 5 minutes to get their trader in front of me. I learned long ago to park on the very very edge so no one can step in front of you.

            I liked it better when you could lev traders, everyone who parked on top of me if I caught it I would log on my main lev them and push them out of the trader stalls, let them sit all night with trader of HA!

              Heh, that's why I always park near the back. Seems everyone tries to pack into the stalls right near the bank figuring it'll make them sell more stuff when in reality it just makes it more difficult for the buyer to buy the item they want. There have been several times now where I've been willing to pay a few pp more for an item just so I don't have to go through the hassle of targeting the person or simply because I can't.

              My best advice is to move to the back or move to the very edge of the stall so no one can park in front of you (doesn't stop them from parking on top of you though). But at the back of the bazaar, at least people aren't all fighting over the same spots, and it's less laggy.

                Or you could support shamans and the REAL alchemy by buying a Grow potion, rather than those shameless knockoffs sold by gnomes :P

                  This may not be gospel truth but it usually works for me. If you can actually see the person (not in a wall or on a stall) you can /targ NAME and then your clicking usually opens THEM and not who is surrounding them/horse/weapons/

                    Names...

                    Actually, I had the trader targetted, but every time I right-clicked I would get 'Xtrader's Mount regards you indifferently' etc.

                      I really hate when the Barbs and Ogre mules form a wall in front of the gnome trader you want to get to, who's in the very back. /sigh.

                        /tar NAME

                        pressing U (for utilize) will open a trade window.

                          Personally, I think that horses, familiars, pets, and wardens should not be permitted in the bazaar. I also think that anyone who casts Sentinel in that zone should be ... well, words fail me.

                            OHH familiars...I was was actually awakened in the night because someone had parked their familiar right next to me while I was afk Trader overnight and I could hear the flapping all the way across the room in bed. I had to get out of bed and go over to turn my sound off. I was so not happy.

                            Then there's the bards who go afk nearby while playing some song that generates the "Soandso tries to cast a spell on you but you are PROTECTED" message that fills my screen sometimes in the mornings, pushing off all the tells I received overnight. *sigh*

                              Best thing to do is to go into Options, then Filters, then turn off Bard Songs, and Spells. I do that for my merchant, and I do have all of those stupid messages. Grrr.
