Autotrade Limit

[kyoshiro421]

Usually people have more choices then or some competition in prices if they are allowed more than 1 merchants. Most people have more than 12 items to vend. If we got complaints how even with multiple autovenders that heRO lacks diversity, how is killing merchants going to help this problem? You can argue that some people are selling "junk" over several merchants, but then the argument goes both ways that instead of 12 great items, someone is offering 24 instead with the 2nd merchant.

That's why people must learn how to use the market forum !
I do understand that some people can't get online that much to do the trades/sales so instead, they autotrade their stuff. BUT, most of these stuff are overpriced, hence they are not sold for a long time or they are not sold at all.

Autotrading doesn't create that much lag. The server keeps the merch up and that's it. The server doesn't even have to work. The server doesn't need to calculate damage, it doesn't need to calculate movement, it doesn't need to do hardly anything. All it needs to do is make a few changes when someone buys something and open the shop when people browse. The only lag you will ever experience from autotrading is when you warp into town and your client has to load the shop names and graphics. If you lag that much from a few graphics then set your textures and sprites to low.

I'm talking about the increase in population. Surely, the more the population is, the more the lag, eh?
