-No fast travel
- Makes boss fights hard. yes ever the first boss we encounter. You want to make all the real MMORPG players happy? Make the boss fights feel like an accomplishment, something to be proud that you and your boys took it down.
- Please for god sake make the auction house a easy to use. Good search ability, hover over data on all items. respectable sell times of 12/24/48 hours we can leave items for sale.
- Have guild housing. Want the nerds who love to decorate houses with thousands of items to play (or stay) in your game? Knock this out of the park and your gtg. Think about all the people who continued to play WoW just to simply collect pets and mounts.
- Dont be the same as every dam MMO and give us 10 dam bag slots then try and sell extra bag slots in the cash shop. Its a dumb/ cheep tactic to pull on your player base and people are tired of that crap.
- Items in the cash shop should only be cosmetic and nothing to advance a character in any way. Hey here is an idea...dont have a cash shop. Charge $10 bucks a month and put out a good, evolving MMO and people will pay with a smile on their face.
There won't be an Auction House :P
There are Guild Halls one can have in a Node
There are Castles that Guilds can take over
There are Fortresses that are Guild Halls outside of the Nodes and Castles :P
They probably won't sell bagslots as that would be P2W
Sub is 15$ a month, will only contain cosmetic items, your choice whether you want to buy or not.
$15 dollars has NEVER been confirmed, just mentioned "around that" and "comparable to other MMOs with a sub", so at the end of the day it could be 20, or 30, or even higher. But if they go much more over $20 in my opinion they start to lose more subs than the money they gain by increasing the price. They need to price it so that it isn't seen as gouging, but high enough they can cover costs with minimal cash shop. They voluntarily undercut themselves, then overcompensate on the cosmetic shop side, they are going to have the same problem with sub retention.
I thought they said ZOI wide Market, so thought they meant like the billboard showing what is in other nodes in ZOI.
Last official statement has tthem sayin 15$ so going by that. It's the Placeholder fact :P
Yes, the mechanic describes was that there would be a message board listing what stalls have what for sale and their location in the node. They haven't gone into too much depth like many of the systems, so basically it is just everyone taking their own individual meaning from snippets of information. Guess I missed this placeholder info that ziltch is talking about, then again, I like many here opted for the lifetime sub, so could really care less if they charge $15 or $50. Whatever gets the punters in their seats.
And then there is this post from @Belewyn from September 1st.

Ah yea fast travel ... only i support its between those big zones from 1 big city to other ... anything els will ruin game and mmo social aspects
As for fast travel.
It will not happen. (Except for in a Scientific Metro that unlocks fast travel between Nodes in its infulence)
please...just let it be real.
2. DDOS attacks lagging game or shutting down servers
3. 6+ month waits for new content
DDOS attacks are not completely preventable
they need time to make good content so 4 months is a bare minimum unless you want it to look like the Destiny 1 House of wolves or Crota's End content (lack luster and waste of money)
2. Active GMs. Period.
3. No seasonal events offering crazy rewards that either inflate certain item prices or items you can only get in these events. Cosmetics are acceptable.
4. Bots.
5. Dungeons or Raids that test your skill based on how fast you can button mash. Make challenges actually challenging without forcing the community to develop 3rd party dps meters and things of that nature.
With that said I have to turn into a hypocrite here and say about half the squeakers I meet are annoying as fuck.
