As you may or may not know- the matrix online has a market place - which is more or less a joke.

We have people selling health pill 1.0's for hundreds of millions which won't ever sell - and more crap in the way of the good stuff then one can shake a stick at.

The marketplace needs an overhall - more organization to it - level catgeroies - a better system for buying and selling items - or just finding them in the first place.

Alot of the problems on the market place could be fixed with an expiration timer on them. I hate to compare WoW and MxO but quite frankly WoW's auction hosue system is an invaluable resource to the game, the marketplace is a joke - people only farm when they need bits, people mission if they want money - a big issue of this game is the dependance upon missions for everything but moving past that - the market place could be a very valuable tool if it was revamped and done properly.

- more precise searching parameters

- notifications of sales

- bidding is always an option - as opposed to spamming the boards

- expirations of un-sold goods

- (possiblity) *cough* LE Char sales - ghost wants to sell a gun or perhaps anome a vial - just a thought - rare disguises - thats right im a dreamer and dane cook said "dream it ya' *CENSORED* dreamers." - so SMILEY

- perhaps a search bar (i don't think wow can claim ownership to an in game spider.)

Just a thought or two - i'd like to see something come from it - cause no part of me wants to spend 10 million on one red frag.... you know what that brings up to - boost the freaking red frag drops.

I killed about 60 white security guards today - to yield just one clothing sub routine - what the hell is that!?!?!? I had an easier time getting 01 berets then the red frags i need.

Agreed, the Marketplace has needed a revamp for a while because it has been
so bad to use.  This could also be a reason why the Forum Marketplace is
popular.  One of the problems that we had before of how to give back the unsold
items is now solved as we have the automatic emailing of extra items after the
inventory fills up, but there is the problem of the email filling up still.

and search by stability, the amount of times i've brought somthing for it to break a day later
and also it would be nice to add a comment to the item your trying to sell or even the abiltiy  to sell a entire tree in 1 set.
