AotI: not digging the new shop update :

[Tita]

i also don't totally understand it, so here's what i do understand:

if you want your items for sale to appear in search, you have to fiddle around with your shop (change prices, etc) so that the search recognizes you as active. does this "activity" last for a whole day, or it is per log in?

in other words, do you have to fiddle with your shop and continue to be "active" in the game for your items to still be search-able?




either way, this kills the whole point of having a shop search system. now when i'm trying to find mats or weapons or armors at the best prices with decent attributes, i get only a handful of results and not much variety.

if i ever had something to hate in psu:aoti,
which i never have, this finally did it.

(i made a smiley poll so i could feel better)

Source? First I hear of this.

Aye.

Give it a week or so, the list is only purged on each update so it will fill back up... hopefully with prices set by the guys actually trying to *sell* stuff instead of trying to turn their one slightly rare item into a lottery ticket.

i didn't know this happened every update.

i have no qualms then, close thread http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I don't understand? Purging each update will still mean periodic purges. I only add 1-2 items per week, and I have a bunch of stuff that may take a month to sell (or more!).

wtf?

lower your prices? i think all you have to do is log in after an update and your shop becomes visable in the search again

This system is included to weed out the shops of people who aren't playing any longer. Only happens when updates occur. The first time I logged on after the last maintenance, I did a search for an item that I knew was in my shop and my shop came up in the search function. I did not have to fiddle with anything in my shop. And even if you do, it only takes a few seconds out of your day to insert or reprice something - a minor inconvenience for what the system is doing to purge actual "dead" shops.
