To Bera, Boycott Fm 1

Who's here has lost their spots to those no-life campers? Don't support the hackers and scammers. It's time to wake up and take a stand! It's ridiculous how they can get away with this. LloydKern A.K.A. Ben, you ain't poop.

We are to pro for that. Scanias fm hero spot botters have recently came into fm 1 to try to steal our spots but they gave up.

We are not hackers and Ben (lloydkern and paxto) has been kicked out of the fm 1 crew. There is only 2 Peruvians in the fm 1 crew. You guys can try all you want. We have ruled fm 1 for years. We have been through this kind of attempt before. Your jelousy doesn't need to start a fm war. Btw we have won every fm war in the past.

[quote=wingless666]Trust me it wouldn't work since runescape's items are fixed stats we have tons of items that are random stats and if you include potentials slots/hammered and type since each armor set and weapon set up to 100 have like 2-4 different colors/stats are randomized, it makes it nearly impossible to do without a massive amount of tweaking with the system. It would be a mess so yeah.[/quote]

About this system, before I make the suggestion: I would like to say this. The new Maplestory grand exchange will accept all items [b]except equips[/b]

[quote=puretppc]@Unbias: In Runescape it's actually easier to merch using the GE. The way it's done is based on demand + supply. It's not based on people's desperation or people being "gullible" on prices.

When somebody buys a mass amount of items, the GE price automatically goes up the next day or week. Then they resell for that price and it's a profit.[/quote]

Use one of the rooms above. Most people either go backwards, or skip the first rooms.

@UnBias: Well I remember seeing an old thread and most people voted yes about 100 votes?

Not a lot but we need more data so I probably will post a petition.

Wonder if Nexon ever takes suggestions from players? Ever happened before successfully?

[quote=UnBias]I figured the majority of them are. Oh and to the botting claim, whenever they get mad at someone for taking a spot, for the next couple days they'll have a bot in FM Spamming that that said person scams, hacks and KS's etc etc. They'll also change their shop names to match. I've seen it tons of times before.[/quote]

I can vouch for this, right now the guild I am currently in, Risk, is their current victim. We have been labeled as "scammers" and "hackers" simply because one of our other members managed to snatch an FM 1 spot from them.

[quote=UnBias]Our Fm1 is being run by a gang of Peruvians who threaten to hack you to get a spot.
Oh Bera.

OT: No one's gonna do it. If they're desperate for an item, and they see it at Fm1, they'll buy it. Even I wouldn't try to boycott them.

@puretppc: It'd kill merching. You could argue it'd make things more fair and you could still merch, but everyones gonna buy at the lowest price and sell at the highest. Trying to sell/buy something would be ridiculous. It would solve a lot of problems though. If it were to come it'd need a lot of tweaking.[/quote]

You could still merch, I've seen that system work in other mmos. What happens is, when a lot of people start selling the same item, being able to see everyone elses price starts an undercutting war (basically making your price cheaper than the cheapest, then someone does it to you, so you lower your price again and keep repeating). At that point you wait for that item to get to a really cheap price and buy out the cheap ones and then wait until people stop selling so many and the price goes up and then you resell.

Another way would be the impatient types who clearly see what the price should be but want it to sell fast so they put it for 10-20% cheaper. Or the people who don't even bother to check the prices and just throw it in there for a really low price.

All 3 of those used to happen in the MTS so it should happen the same way if we ever got that system. Not saying we will get that or that I'm wishing for it, just that it would still allow for merching, you'd just have to learn the new methods of doing so.

@DJSkittlesXD: I'm still at fault for not being able to grab my spot back in time, I'll give them that. But they positioned their stores so that it would make it very difficult for me to reset because they pretty much sandwich'd me. I was able to "snatch" my spot yesterday, but all's good. I kept the spot since the recent sc and I'm satisfied I was able to hold it down for that long.

@eerie: It's better than FM in Maplestory. Besides, I remember seeing an old thread here suggesting for one and most ppl voted a yes (80% out of 100 ppl). I've also seen older threads too that suggested it and as a matter of fact, most people accepted it.

[quote=TroiSky]No.. they are, as soon as I took down my shop to reset I saw a lvl 17 Kaiser teleport out of nowhere and got my spot.[/quote]

And if you do manage to "snatch" your spot, they'll resort to map crash before you can open your mushy.

Fair enough, if they're teleporting they're not the people I'm thinking of. The guys I know don't do that.

[quote=dartz321]Uh...FM1 do indeed employ botters. If you manage to get a spot, within a day you'll have a lv.10 named "asdfdfdf" or something just standing on your spot ready to steal it the moment you take it down.[/quote]

That isn't evidence that they're botting.

@UnBias Well, I know for sure at least 2 of them aren't, I don't know many of them though. Also, they have a guild (or one guy at least) in El Nido called LondonLegacy, so...

@arkdude11: It didn't actually. The way how it works is that people can trade conveniently. It saves a lot of lagging since ppl don't have to go to world 1 to trade/sell/buy stuff. It makes the prices easier too.

If you mean lazy, then guess what? It's already much more activities compared to Maple.

In conclusion, I don't find this "lazy" in any way.
