Why was my thread removed?

Made a thread earlier today offer items I was selling and it was removed!


Are we really not allowed to make ANY selling threads on this forum or is there a section I haven't found?


If the answer is were not allowed to sell items on the forum, then as a console player that would be a MASSIVE offput for me and this game. The forums are bad enough for not having devided sections for each platform. So why is it that PC get a chat window and we don't, if they are that adamant we won't get a chat window on consoles at least add a trading section for console players. The current guild store system is terrible at best and I don't want to wait days and days for my items to sell at an already very low price!

    Trading is not allowed on the forums. I'm sure this was said in the thread that closed, probably with a link to the tos.

    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    No problem, still that seems silly to me, with no chat window on consoles we could really do with a trading section of the forums!

    If neither ones are added at some point I'll consider finding a better MMO worth playing. I love this game but the trading side of it is aweful at best and there's so many simple functions missing on consoles.

    Figure out how to work with the guild trader system, just like everybody else. I'm not saying it's a great system, but it's one that zeni is committed to, keeping the economy compartmentalized and in-game. Complaining on the forums isn't likely to change that, better men than you have tried.

    I really don't see why they thought people wouldn't want a chat window on consoles. Most people just use a USB keyboard and others use chat pads or smartglass.


    Seems like they realise they should have done it, don't want to admit it and are now just being too lazy to add it onto consoles.

    FFXI, released in 2002 for JP and 2004 for NA had text chat on Playstation 2.

    Text chat was featured in the text window at the bottom; it would feature scrolling combat text, as well as tabs for Tell / Whisper, Yell, Zone and Say. It could be adjusted to show only certain things.

    We don't have scrolling combat text, so a smaller more convenient window could've been designed, developed and then implemented.

    However...

    This takes time, money and most importantly; time. Console was delayed a year already, the amount of issues which could arise from changing the UI, amongst other things as text messages have to be sent back & forth, and then some - you also have Microsoft and Sony to work with.

    Probably would've delayed console six months to a year, just text chat. I say probably, all the thoughts and feelings expressed in my post are mine and mine alone, they shouldn't be taken as factual information - merely the insight of a humble plebian within the TESO fief.

    Apparently we are supposed to go stand near guild traders and haggle/heckle each other over the voice chat. Only thing is whichever troll is loudest or plays the loudest music wins. PPl act like console is keyboard incompatable but look at defiance or warframe. Text chat Executed perfectly and optional in both games and defiance has been around since ps3/Xbox 360

    FF11 ahhh yes. My first mmorpg experience. Started in 2003, quit in 2008. Odin server. It worked really well with a keypad and controller for the ps2.
