Would you want auto vending to be enabled?

IMO it would be a big plus, since it is a win win for everyone.

1. Players would not be bothered anymore to set their shops again and again if their client disconnects
2. WP would make more money since players would be able to buy more wpe because of lower electricity bills
3. It's environment friendly. (Lower electricity consumption and -_-)
4. Kappa

But seriously, what are the reasons they haven't implemented this yet?

It actually would cut down on the server log in.

Since you will notice that there are a lot of vend bots. Any dc by server they will all ping and try to log in at the same time. Which of course makes it hard for us to log on.

I think I have seen this on a private server before. Wouldnt be a bad idea.

Would be nice if players could list what they want to sell via a game user interface (or retract anything currently there), and then the NPCs at para market would randomly offer your chosen items along with everyone elses' chosen items, at the price you set. And then when stuff got sold, you'd get an RODex email with the money.

We had that before right? Auction system? It was scrapped due to some dupe issues I think.

 

Yes!!!

It would have to be a separate thin client, it would best be served in a web app environment.  But I doubt seriously that kRO has the resources or the knownledge tbh to allow access to their datatables via web service calls.

I'd understand resources... but knowledge. C'mon it's the 21st century...

You give them too much credit they don't deserve to be honest.

Just assuming that they have said knowledge but don't have manpower. But if that's not the case, then that's sad. :(

it might happen in a few years honestly since it took them 10 ( ? ) years or so to increase the vending limit so it appears reasonable for this to happen maybe in the next year or two

No different than the ebay model from an e-commerce paradigm

...or better sell it to an NPC. No more vending needed.  :heh:

 

Auto-vend would be a great feature but it would be a question of whether kRO will make it possible or not. In the meantime, if you want to sell something just use Facebook or the forums perhaps?  :heh:

I have no idea about coding and stuff si I wouldn't know, but would it really take kRO a lot of resources to implement this? Also, if that's the case, how do private servers manage to implement this [auto vending]?

Because as far as I understand it, private server engines are open source so people can contribute. Official ones are not, so no room for beautiful ideas.

What ever Aegis engine is being used by private servers now probably already deviated so much from the official leak. Anyway, let's leave this topic. :D

Either way, you have to convince the developers since iRO isn't allowed to do anything other than quest and item scripts. Better brush up on your Korean.

so basically, instead of 1000 people logged in at thor, the prompt at login will now only have 100 to display? it ain't gonna happen, very bad for business.
