Pros
-Easier to buy and sell items

*Even if you setup shop characters, if you like variety in your grinding, you can end up with 2 or 3 of x item, 2 or 3 of y item and u can't get them all in 1 or 2 shops. So not only a convienience benifit, but a gameplay one, since it opens up more diverse hunting options.

-Don’t have to leave client open overnight

*biggest benifit, equalizes things between the very high gap between people who can and can't setup a shop

-Can trade when away from home

*pretty irrelevant. Really rare items generally still only going to be distributed in game only.

 

Cons
-Selling in-game may become harder as less people may bother to go to gtz

*don't see how this is a con, can put it on the webmarket.

-Easier access to items on the webmarket will reduce motivation to hunt for it in game yourself

*this is a pro & a con. Something that's relatively common but takes a while to get to and grind (I2H, Blizz, type stuff) to pay 25k on webmarket, instead of spending 30min or more looking up where it drops, going there and grinding it out, or paying 1-2mil in gtz. Depends how you look at it, I'd say that's more of a pro than a con though.

 

Neutral
-Selling will become more competitive; prices will likely go down, and much harder to sell something for more than someone else

*see this as a positive. Things of actual value maintain or gain value. Common things that are just a pain to go find, lose value. Price fixing... changes but isn't removed. Price fixing things of actual value can still happen, buying out something commonly used but rare can corner market and profit. A lot more stable market, since supply/demand is a lot more exposed, so buying out something commonly used and price fixing it can be a big adena sink, and if judgement of the supply/demand is off, can be a big gain or loss. Basically just equalizes playing field between people with buy/sell chars and people that don't.

-Online player count will likely go down a bit, making the server seem less active

*this doesn't effect players in hunting zones and /who already distinguishes active vs shop chars so, this isn't really a neutral difference, it's already disclosed.

 I like the idea but also enjoy shopping trips to GTZ as both a buyer and seller. I Voted yes but consider this a change of my vote to NO. 

 

Regardless, thank you for your time.
