I think it was a good idea, but not very well thought out.
1. You cannot 'shroom at the spawn point near Robin anymore. I knew that you couldn't vend, but they've blocked 'shrooming for health too.
2. I went to the "marketplace" yesterday. It was empty. There were no vendors there at all. All the vendors were just outside the market place, near the facelift shop. If they're blocking vending except in the marketplace, they should do it properly!
3. If they do intend for people to vend only in the marketplace, it will mean I need to look harder for what I want. Back in the old Roumen (Note that it is Roumen not Rouman - that really annoys me) I knew that I could find Elrue / Lix / Xir and second-hand weapons and armour near the smith. I knew that I could sell T1 drops between Tides gate and Robin etc. Now all I know is that it'll be in the Market Place.
4. The lag will be unbelievable. It was bad enough just getting from Sea of Greed to Sand Beach. If I actually want to go shopping it'll be painful.
5. What's with all the furniture in the market place? If people are going to use it that needs to be taken out. It might make it look nice, but if you keep bumping into things no-one's going to go there.
6. (General Point): Is there an equivilent of Trading Standards in Fiesta? I would like to see people be banned from vending for a week or so for false advertising. Things like "Cheapest [item] in [town]" when there's a stall next to them selling it cheaper, or for people saying "[item] @ [price]" when the price advertised != the price they're actually selling it at. Also, what's with all the notices like "Get your $$$$ here"? Isya != United States of America. Does that mean I can go around saying "Get your ££££ here"? Neither Pounds or Dollars are the currency in Isya.
7. (General Point 2): It should be coded into the game that when a vendor runs out of stuff to buy/sell they should turn into a shroom and stop being a vendor. It irritates me that I click on a vendor and it's empty. Granted, they are likely breaking the ToS for being AFK, but it would save so much hassle.
Just my 2p.
