Thread: Remove GS from Shops (OA/Borealis/Rome/etc)

    Remove GS from Shops (OA/Borealis/Rome/etc)

    I guess at one point this was more needed but I am not seeing a purpose other than to upset players anymore. The most recent patches have totally destabilized the GS system even more than before. It has been a nightmare helping a friend twink by logging buffing alts to do so trying to get in to the same GS as them etc. Before it was mildly annoying.. now it is simply overkill. I am not sure what changed in the last few weeks of patching but something has drastically changed..

    2 - All regular shops should have one of each standard item they normally carry with a field where the current QL is where you type which QL you want. (The reasons for this are many.)
    ---No more CAMPING SHOPS (literally as if camping mobs wasn't bad enough right? come on guys n gals throw us a bone here).
    ---This will stop the lag of running in and out of 50 shops (same 8) over and over trying to find a QL you want. (This will nerf profiteers of rare QL items a bit but tbh I really do not care for capitalists that much so I say screw em.. )

    3 - Rare non permanent items could either be added to the special trader only shops (where they should have been all along imho.) or have them (finally) permanently set to a single QL of a shop with a range of ability.

    Bump!
    GS in shops are annoying as hell and serve no purpose today, even with a sudden and huge increase of players GS in shops still wont be needed thanks to click threw and the fact that AO doesn't have character collision..

    Hello and welcome to The Internet. Please leave your common sense, decency and humanity with the doorman. Have a nice stay.

    Is your GUI getting in the way of playing AO?
    Do you want to be able to take screenshots quickly and easily without hotbars, wings and chat windows getting in the way?
    Are you getting tired of that blue colour scheme?
    Try using my Uncluttered GUI!

    Erm.... okay... but...

    There's one thing to solve this problem: Stop twinking in Shops!

    The backyards are wonderful places, most of the time you're alone there. There isn't a GS system. And you've got a bank terminal and a treatment clinic. Only difference is that there aren't any shop terminals, but I don't think that this is a problem most of the time. You maybe just have to think before twinking and not while you're at it.

    This is an asinine issue that is long past usefulness and your logic plain fails. I don't know what kind of twinking you do.. but I step my stuff as I go.. and the "planning tools" are almost always off by some margin in trickle or what ever.. so you find yourself doing many steps of laddering to get what you want. Anyway thanks for the useless post in this thread. Next time please use your head before posting.

    Thanks
