Backpacks on the Marketplace

Calthine · 12-12-2011, 05:54 PM

So I'm a little suprised I haven't seen complaints about this yet. I know we threw a fit when ammo hit the marketplace, does it bother anyone else that backpacks are being sold for Station Cash?

Not when they're 24 slots. Honestly, who's going to waste SC on something when you can get it almost twice as big for about 20g?

I think this is the main reason there haven't been more vocal complaints. The Evil Undercutters Association is making the money on the higher-slot bags, which really makes these useless items on the SCMP.

I think they should be removed as irrelevant, but I'm not going to rail about it because i see it more as a removal oversight than an actual threat to the player-driven backpack market.

Honestly, I dont care for the simple reason the ones being offered on SC are the same in game. It is different roads to the same destination. Someone with coin, buy them in game. People with MasterCard can buy them on SC marketplace.

My complaints with LoN and SC marketplace have always been the same - I have a problem with items which can only be acquired on the SC markeplace on LoN with no in-game avenue to those items. That I think is immensely wrong.

Speaking from a tailor perspective, no not really. Backpacks and other tailor made storage stuff in the past was always competing with Boxes. Now they hold the same and neither has weight to them anymore nor do the items. Do I want to make backpacks that have an appearance absolutely I have a few already infact from brewday and tinkerfest and i think one other, wish they had the full 40 slots though.

If you're refering to the ones you can get from the DM tokens (44 sloters iirc), my only conplaint is that they are lore ... I want 26 of them. SMILEY

They are selling 44 slot bags for SC, they are not that hard to find, just click on bags on the main page, they are not lore, and have 44 slots they have been there for some time it isn't new, the best you can get in game available for purchase in SC.
