Selling/Buying Cosmetics Poll Thing

Postby Papaya » 23 Mar 2016, 14:35

Too bad I can't make an actual poll.

What are your opinions on selling/buying cosmetic items in bazaars?

Personally, I love the idea. My main qualm with being unable to sell/buy cosmetics from other players is that I can't get certain clothes that I missed (such as everything from Christmas when I didn't have time to log on), and sometimes I get clothes or underwear that I know I'll never wear. I think it'd do wonders for the player economy and it might also encourage Onigiri to stop throwing out so many recolors/recycled outfits.

(Oh yeah and before anyone does this, don't be one of those people who refuses to answer a hypothetical question 'because that would never happen'. I want to know how much it interests people, not how likely it is to happen.)

I'm indifferent. The odds of someone selling an outfit I actually want are tiny. Even if someone did, it would be selling for about 500 oc most likely. I'd rather take my chances with Nyankoropon than waste huge amounts of oc on one outfit.

I believe there is still a lot of interest from players for this to happen.

2 opposing points here:
-Players want a sure fire way of getting specific costumes.
-CS wants players to spend more money for OC to spinning nyankoropon.

I see 2 possible ways of doing this:
1. Min selling price in player bazaar to be made higher so CS can benefit from the 30% tax.
2. CS creates a past library of costumes to be sold at a higher OC price so as not to gimp players who prefer to try their luck with nyan. The older the costume, the higher the price.

Neither is perfect, but when deciding on a solution there usually need to be compromise.

I personally don't see a need for clothing sales. (though I would like to get rid of a lot of clothing I would never wear too..)

A lot of outfits are being reintroduced into the gacha, so if a player wants a certain past outfit, they'll probably be able to get it eventually.
I also somewhat like the fact you can tell how long some players have been around based on their clothing (of course only if it's an old outfit that hasn't been reintroduced).

This is a good point. In EN, chances of getting a gold capsule in the gacha are higher than in JP - but JP allows clothing sales. That's the trade off, and honestly I prefer the way EN is set up since I like to win stuff.

I'd rather have them sell accessories instead since I can sorta doubt that the male avatar can have an angel outfit.

I'm not a huge fan of the fact that they recycle/recolor so many outfits, I'd much rather see new outfits in the gacha than have the value of just about everything I own whittled down to "meh, seen it."

I really hope that people aren't ridiculous enough to try selling things for 500 OC, I wouldn't partake in that either, and frankly if this feature came out and the community turned out to be that absurd I'd just flat out give up on trying to be part of the player economy.

I definitely wish we could get rid of outfits to Point Daruma. The only reason I wore the Kyoto Guard Uniform was for the quest. I would never wear it again unless I was greatly rewarded for it. There's a lot of other costume parts and underwear I'd like to ditch as well.

I don't mind them re-colouring old sets as long as it's a colour I want, but seeing new stuff would be nice too, as long as it doesn't look shite.

I'd very much like to see this happen. It would be nice to get rid of old outfits you don't wear anymore, and also outfits in colors you don't really like. For people who have had really bad luck and never got a certain outfit (or got it only in a color they don't like), this would be a good opportunity to maybe get something or even trade if you find someone trustworthy. This would also make it possible to trade clothes between characters (like you might have something on an alt that you would rather have on your main).

OK so that was my take on how cosmetic sales could possibly make the game better. Yes, scarcity of good clothes and obscene prices are serious considerations. Additionally it is kinda cool to see how long ago someone created a character based on old outfits that are not available anymore, and that would be an element of depth lost if we got cosmetic sales. Ultimately though it would probably be an overall positive thing if it happened.

I also want to say this: it would be super nice if the angel wings accessory was available from the points daruma without the problem that it's in a rng box T^T
