Instead of having to click, bid an amount, and half the time have to deal with a stupid captcha, why can't the buying be a set price, and you use one click to purchase, just like in user shops?

After all, shop keepers in the real world are pretty unlikely to haggle with you. Is this something that was put into place simply because that's how they do it on Neopets? If so, Subeta isn't Neopets, not remotely.

I think this system would make things like questing easier and less annoying, thanks.

Problem with that is you can shop search over and over again for rare items and buy them with one click. It removes the challenge. If you want it to be one click spend the extra money in the user shops.

Also - If you do this it makes my discount card useless, and I don't want that.

On the topic of haggling in real life: It can be argued that having set prices on items is only common in North America and Europe. In other parts of the world, haggling is more common - like in China. You can also haggle on one-of-a-kind items or at merchant stalls.

The reason why haggling is here is because it's another step to compete for items, like how certain items have Captcha codes you have to type in as well. It allows people to compete for items so that everyone has a chance at items. One click items are purchasable in user shops.

idk if either of you live in America but

you can actually haggle in places like Best Buy, Home Depot, Nordstroms, Kohls, CostCo, etc.

People rarely do it, but its an option lol. :)

I am sure that there is a way to program it so the discount from the card was still applied if it was a one-click system. I agree the discount still would have to apply for it to be fair.

Also it's not too hard to prevent one person from buying all of a rare item with a time limit. Or have the captcha for rare items only, and one click buying for everything else, ie 95% of all those common quest items where the system as it is solves nothing and is only annoying.

And I really do suspect the reason the system is what it is is because that's how they do it on Neo.

Just because Neopets does something doesn't make it bad.

I like the system the way it works. Quests have been made much easier withe the SS links and removing the CAPTCHAs from low rarity items has made restocking a quest item (or most ither stuff as well) much easier.

Because autobuyers.

I don't support this, because I think it's unnecessary.

Buying from shops is already super easy and super quick. And, when it comes down to it, questing is also super easy and quick after the revamps. It's just 10-15 per NPC a day, and you can already one-click buy from the Pawn Shop and go straight to your item in a main shop from Shop Search. I don't think it takes more than a full hour (if that) or more than the smallest amount of effort to complete all the NPC item quests, and I don't think it could get any easier or faster unless staff just start handing over all the quest payouts without making users complete the quests at all.

Also I don't believe it matters whether you can haggle in stores IRL or not, because Subeta =/= real life. And Subeta =/= Neopets, either, so I don't see why it matters what Neopets has going on with its shops or if they work with a similar system.

Lol a time limit would only make questing MORE annoying. It would need to be at least a minute, if haggling and captchas are too slow for you, you could easily finish and start another quest within that time.

Yeah, I always thought this was the real reason for the whole bidding and sometimes captcha codes. It prevents people with autobuyers just instantly clearing out all the high rarity items when they stock.

Even if this isn't the reason, I still think we should keep it. Makes it a bit more fair for people with different internet speeds (or at least I think it does) in that it prevents one person from just one-click buying up a bunch of things in a few seconds. People are fast, but at least the bidding pages slows them down a little to make things a little fairer.
