Just remember there are many ways this can be implemented. I don’t know why some people are insisting all or nothing. It seems like a universal search is going to anger a lot of people so why not a more localized search that isn’t going to be affected as much by this worry some of you have about prices stagnating. Like i proposed the EQ1 style search, you can only search your local area, your compass then shows you where you can find said items you searched, that’s it. No universal searching, no price listing, and keeps sense of exploring, finding deals, still have option of finding area’s where you can buy low and resell high in other areas, etc. I think this is a good compromise at the very least and a win-win. Certainly better then what we have to deal with right now as shoppers.
btw i finally found 1 shop selling pwr coils. again this was after all day searching. Price significantly higher then i though so i’m continuing to look or save up for them. (probably why they are still for sale, due to high price, more then i’ve made since i started playing the game)
