They could lower the max percent limit. Not sure why anything needs to be higher than convenient store prices. They could also introduce sale pricing. Just like RL shops that lower prices when they can't move product. This would get the stored mats off the market faster as they become cheaper. Sure there will be those waiting for the "clearance" sale but then they run the risk of it not being there tomorrow.

Pulling items out of your packer from any packer is still there using the vendor "exploit". You can craft from your packers at any stable as long as they are in stables. You can place items on market from your packer and then buy them back and *poof* its in your bag.

They really need to allow for packer teleport tickets. Buy a ticket and place it in the packer's pack. Buy another ticket and you're set to go.

"Any carry on, sir?"
"No, just me and my pet"
"Will your pet be sitting in your lap?"
"No, its a mektoub"
"And?"
"It weighs a tonne"
"I'm sorry sir but we'll have to store your pet in the cargo hold"
"Fine"
"Did anyone you not know give you this mektoub or anything else to carry?"
"No"
"Is the mektoub carrying any contraband or explosives?"
"Well it did eat beans for breakfast..."
"Sir, please answer 'yes' or 'no'"
"No"
"Thank you for flying Karavan Airlines! Enjoy your flight!"

I loved your post, but this one is too communistic for me. People are free to ask for goods asthey see fit, it is called a free market economy. Ask too much, it wont be sold ;-)

For choice mats 1000% markup is enough for storing. You might lose like 5% of stored mats as someone buy some mats (maybe whole stack by mistake).

On the other hand, 1000% is below market price for most sought after mats (e.g. supreme zun amber) and best items (e.g. supreme with best stats).

So, this is not possible way of correcting issue.

We have crafting plans that require huge amounts of mats. We have packers that don't hold 30 minutes crafting mats. We have apartments that would be perfect to craft in... but the process is too painful as it is presently set up. We have homins with the ingenuity to figure out a way to get around these issues. That is what evolution is all about. As we homins evolve so will the developers and so will the ways of Atys and beyond. Who are we to say what a particular mat is worth to a particular digger at a particular time. If we are not observant enough to shop with an eye for price as well as quality how in Jena's name will we ever discover the riddles of our pasts and the promises of our futures. Homins, please let's pick our battles carefully, we have so much growing to do together.

Thank you for your time,

Yay... lets not waste time anymore over these futilities.
