RE: @whosells
I think that I also typed somewhere in one of those many pages why I loath any official price check, price bot, price market, market research, whatever "list of price" things that can possibly exist.

@whosell also got problems if you're currently on a small map, and the search results have a merchant on a bigger map than you. For example, I @whosell elunium and the merchant is on a large map at coordinate 250,360. If the map that you are on has a maximum size of 300,300, the game instantly crashes because it goes "NO SUCH THING AS 360 IN COORDINATE!"

In case if it's not clear enough, again we have researched into @whosell, and if you feel like tackling to modify the @whosell command to do the following:

-remove price mentioning
-remove the "star signal" on minimap
-fix the problem of crashing if target map is bigger than the current map that you are in

Yes we've considered to purely search by item ID and I think we sorta did that with @whosell... but then there's still the 3 most problematic issues listed above. The star signal *never* goes away until relog, and carries across minimap which is very irritating, especially if you do very common items like elunium (then half of your map is shop signal star >_<). Crashing is never a good thing with the map coordinate problem, especially when most shops are in prontera, and prontera is one of the biggest map in the game making crashing all the easier. Taking out price mentioning is a pure economic balance issue, for reasons mentioned in one of the threads linked by Aki by me somewhere.

Contact me, I'll send you the related codes, and go crazy at it. Once you're done, give it back to me and I'll load it on test server (of course, we'll give the proper credits for your work and contribution!)
