    Default Barter Implant Idea

    Doy Eye style barter implant. Cant see a glove being a great idea and maybe the chips arent the best way to go but im not sure.

    A series of eyes could be kinda cool. even one that is recycled like the Doy Eyes has been discussed with friends. Like the recycle eye the user has a keen eye for item quality and is able to negotiate a discount with vendors. Make it recyclable from materials the way you do currently with the doy eyes.

    Thoughts?

    Gimme.
    There's not enough items that give a bonus to barter imo. Sign me up.

    A barter glove to match the other gloves would make sense. Maybe give to DRE

    I'm down. As it stands, my poor little tradeskill-only noob only has the Jones brain implant for barter. I think that's the only thing that adds barter, implant-wise, according to THN.

    I agree, any solution that benefits bartering I'm down with. But isn't it the handshake that ultimately seals the deal ?

    The total discount you'd get from all these new implants would have to equal what you get now with only one implant. You can't go much higher than now otherwise you would have infinite money.

    A maxed out barterer now is already powerful. I don't see the need for more bartering implants.

    by doing this you render the implants pointless.

    Then you need to give people a chance to spend their money on other stuff. You are going to have infinite money one day anyway so how is that a reason to say no to this idea. The noobs will make great use of stuff like this. If anything then you could lower the amount of benefit given by the barter skill and equal the total benefit of the current barter (50% or whatever the highest discount is) with these new imps and a maxed out full int barterer.

    Seriously great idea.

    I already have 5,000,000 credits after a man week of levelling my char. I cannot see any reason not to introduce it into the game.

    I agree, hence why we don't need the implants.

    I am confused by this statement. What do you mean?

    You are going to have infinite money one day anyway so how is that a reason to say no to this idea.
    Um, no... Right now there is no legit way to get infinite money. But if you want to increase the power of the barter so any player can buy a gun for 5000 and sell it right back to the vendor for 6000, then NOW you have infinite money.

    The noobs will make great use of stuff like this. If anything then you could lower the amount of benefit given by the barter skill and equal the total benefit of the current barter (50% or whatever the highest discount is) with these new imps and a maxed out full int barterer.
    Yes, that is my point. You cannot just simply increase the power of the barter by adding more implants because the power of a maxed out barter is pretty close to breaking the game as it is. I am glad you agree with me that if you want more implants, you need to adjust the power of bartering to equal what we have now. If you want to lessen the skill, but make the implants more influence somehow, that is perfectly fine.

    I am glad you are able to contribute to this idea. I like lessening the barter skill itself, and increasing the power of bartering implants.

    Breaking the economy by introducing a macro engine for infinite cash will break the game. Also, you gained that money by playing the game. Doing the same thing by setting up a macro program at a vendor is not what the developers intended as correct game play.

    Anyway, regardless of who posts here, the developers know fully well how delicate an mmo economy is, and you can bet your woc disks they won't make barter be able to make infinite money.
