Everyone, or 99% of iRO players know about Ragial now.  It is very useful to get good deals or do price check on items cheaper than 100m.  But even with that help, it is becoming impossible to find good deals.  And realated to that i would like to make a suggestion... this would be for the whole community i guess.

 

When an item is being sold, it would be nice to see WHO bought the item.  Why i'm asking is because it would help (at least a little) to find bots who buy anything that is really cheap (or mistake) way to fast to even have time to find good deals yourself or to cancel your shop and fix your mistake in price.

 

I always double check my price before leaving my shop and going AFK but this time... OMG my item sold in less than 100ms.  I soon as i hit my ENTER key, the item disapeared.  I didn't even have time to see the item in the ShopWindow.  No one is that fast to 1-Read the Item's name AND price, then 2-Decide if it's a deal or not, then 3-Clicking the item to buy it.

 

Also, sometimes players make Events where they sell items for 1z....  Let me tell you that those shop go down wayto fast to be a Legit player.

 

We could at least report those player and the GM could do their check up on that player.  I know that if it's a bot, the owner of that bot would just make a noob account and put most of his zeny on it to buy all the deals around.  If it gets banned, they would just remake another one i guess but at least they would lose most of their zeny with it.

 

 

So, is this a legitimate request?  Am I out of my mind for asking this?  Would it make sense to implement this?  I just hope it would scare the botters a little and give a better chance  to other player to make good deals once in a while.  (i personally stopped looking on Ragial because there's no point anymore to try and find bargins.  I only use it as a Price Checker).

This is a good suggestion, but the suggestion should be brought up to the developer's of ragial.com. Unfortunately, Ragial is in no way endorsed by or affiliated with Gravity. This is solely managed by a third party.

No, i mean that in your chat window, in the Game,  when you see: "Poring Egg 1 sold."

 

The game knoes who bought it therefore, should be able to let you know: "Poring Egg 1 sold to PlayerXYZ" or which ever sentence they want to use.

To my knowledge, there is no way Ragial can know who buys what.

I'd prefer the seller not to know it was me who bought their misprice, so that they won't be spamming me with PMs asking me to return their item. Their fault they mistyped their sell price, and I wouldn't want someone to be spamming me about it.

I have seen this feature in other games. If people know who bought their items , they will bother the buyers sometimes. That has a potential to abuse. However, I do agree with you on the bots. Good deals on popular items go down fast. It  does seem certain rich players may have made bots stand in popular spots and scan shops. I can attest to this fact since a shop with cheap big ticket items that popped right next to me was emptied in less than a second. The fun fact was that it wasnt even on Ragial yet. So there is no way merchants could have spotted it.

You also have to keep in mind some players buy low and sale high. So, it's not always bots monitoring the market. And as already stated, I would not want someone contacting me about a mispriced item, or just in general about buying more of their items. x.O

I do agree on the abuse that could happen from sellers trying to get their item back.  But there's always the Block PM feature, keeping them from harasing you.

 

I mean, yes you can make mistake but when you don't even have time to see it for yourself because the item sold in 100 miliseconds, that's not fair either.  You get tons of PMs as a seller when you make a mistake as well.  Everyone seeing it on ragial (if it had time to get registered there) PM you to know if you still have it, have more etc...
