@FiendOverlord: I suppose, but I can't help but think it might get harder to become funded through merching since most profits you make will most likely be small. That is, unless you spend all day refreshing the auction house, which is totally impractical to me.

@freezo i would like to know as well. are they going to make it you have to pay to sell stuff in AH? or will it be free, and fm will be gone forever o.o

@wizardq: Merching should still be possible to some degree since everyone has different prices they are willing to pay for the same item. It just that less people would be vulnerable to merchers.

does this mean the fm will be useless?

[quote=FiendOverlord]@Radiqal: Price ranges are more visible, making the public more informed of prices. Merchants will no longer be able to buy things in absurdly low prices and sell for an equally ridiculous amount. They'll be more susceptible to follow the market, rendering 'merching' ineffective in creating true economic profit. Unless of course someone lets themselves get taken advantage of.[/quote]

I actually agree with you, and I don't know if this is good for me or bad for me. I should still be able to make money through events, predicting inflation/deflation, etc. But I don't really know if it will make up for it. I'm so use to the free market, I don't know if it is good to be taken out of my comfort zone.

@eerie: I didn't mean to offend you. I was talking about the ones in the fm entrance.

@unknown4576: I didn't get merched. I'm mad at them for making the community worse with their attitude.

I'd like to see the game developers work on UI interfaces that make C/P and managing buddy/guild lists a lot more intuitive, and less awkward to navigate. For example, when I'm ranking people in my guild, sometimes if I have to scroll down to an IGN, and I change it's rank, the page refreshes and suddenly i'm at the top of the page, and my selection vanishes.. ._.

TBH, this looks like the "fm" in most other MMO's... (From games I play)
Dragon Nest's Marketplace
Vindictus' Marketplace
Elsword's
Tera's

Maple should have gotten this a long time ago q.q

I still use the auctions, but it seems like half of the ones put up just go right back up at the same high price.
