>>Destiny's In-Game Merchants<<
In Destiny, what would you like to see?
1. All merchants have the same stock and prices no matter how remote they are.
2. All the merchants have different stock and prices depending on how remote they are.
3. Same as 1 but some very select few merchants carry one or two rare items.
4. Same as 2 but some very select few merchants carry one or two rare items.
5. Other - Post In Comments

2 RepliesThe merchants having rare items would have to be a rare occurrence in itself. I also wouldn't want the items to very rare, more like something that is useful but somewhat hard to get otherwise (but not impossible).

1 Reply4. Keeps it interesting, so long as the merchants don't price-gouge for medkits (if they are in the game) or ammo when out in the middle of nowhere. I think it would be cool if merchants away from the city have a tendency to sell rarer/more valuable gear
-
As long as rare items have ridiculously high price tags,I am fine with the idea of different stock and prices plus rare items.
-
1 ReplyI picked 4. because if all the Merchants had the same thing for the same price then why would we have more then one... Running to each Merchant just to find they all have the same thing is boring and monotonous...

Who would want a communist economy?

Edited by Tactical Dogg0: 5/17/2013 2:30:17 AMTo clarify with the rare items bit, say there are 500 merchants scattered all across Earth. Some are in the last city, some are hidden in the far reaches of the planet. I would say that only the hardest to find merchants, say 50 of them, would carry rare (not the rarest) items, but only say 1 or 2 items. By rare, I mean like a special version of an assault rifle that has some special upgrades that are medium/hard to find. Basically upgraded items that you can still create/find, but not crappy pistols or anything. A decent weapon or armour piece with a decent upgrade.. It has to be worth purchasing. The prices for such an item? A high price, but not so high that it would drive you to forget about it. Just within grasp if you play another couple of hours.. You never know, you may stumble across it on your quest to earn more money to buy the item.. Or not.

1 ReplyMerchants should have one price for any given item, especially consumables, but start to carry better and better stock as you progress, for higher prices. It would be lame if you wanted to buy 'medpack A' but had to travel a long distance to the merchant that sells it a few bucks off. Basing prices on remoteness doesn't make sense, why not base it off the current expected progression of the players going through an area, regardless of where it is. And I'd expect rare items to be loot drops or in one of the super uppety vendors right in the middle of the city. I want to go adventure and kill stuff for gear, not hike to some guy out in the middle of nowhere just to BUY it. I mean, if you can buy an item from a vendor IT'S NOT CONSIDERED RARE.

I think stock price should change depending on if people are buying that at the time say if lots are after it price rises if not many are it drops etc
-
2 Repliesid say have some area specific stuff like jungle camo, but then have a generalized inventory mixed in as well. then you can have snow clothes and general armor when up on a mountain or some such situation
-
From what all the things I've heard they are going to have a complex economy. They even have a special Job for one so we should see great variety and imagination when I comes to the economy..... Hopefully
-
1 ReplyI really hope after a long while of playing the game that I could retire and become a merchant, would be fun for some people.
-
So, Destiny is now Runescape?
-
I want a huge variety of items among merchants, but they all carry the essentials like ammo. They should sell unique items that can only be bought by special tokens or rare gems. Not every merchant carries rare items, and no merchant sells the same rare item. While exploring you may encounter these rare tokens/gems and use them to acquire this rare armor or weapon.

8 RepliesI find it interesting that you presume Destiny will have merchants.
-
2 RepliesNo rare items shouldn't be something you sell. It should be something you find on your adventures. That's the problem with Skyrim. You can freaking buy Daedric items from a shop.
-
3 RepliesA rare item that can be bought by anyone with the cash for it? How is this a rare item?
-
5 RepliesNo merchants,all-your-stuffs-belongs to me Bwahahahahahah!
-
No rare items because then they wouldn't be rare, (unless the merchant themselves who sells them is really hard to find) but every merchant should have completely different stock and prices. Ideally I would like to see different currency for different areas with alternating exchange rates, but that might be a bit far fetched for destiny, they have to make three more games you know!
