Travel Suppression in Praetoria Auction House

I leave my pets at the door.
I leave all my toggles running.

Asking me to play to suit your style is far more rude than leaving a few toggles on in the market.

You have other options. Turn off your speakers. Go to quieter markets. People will do what's convenient.

It's not a law that people riding public transport have to shower, and those kind of people are a bit more ... invasive (?)... than a spines/fire scrapper in your market.

I fully support additional rooms that have power suppression. Until that happens, deal with it.

So instead of griping at each other, how about:

- Push for an earnable/purchasable (other than the vet reward) auction house temp power, and/or

- have them actually look at bases for the first time in who knows how long and add an auction house terminal item there.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Is there an auction house in Galaxy City?? I can't recall, but if there is, I think it is

probably pretty quiet. If there isn't, maybe the devs could add one in that zone with a

studio B type of room to see how popular the idea is. Just a thought.

Praetoria Auction House: A great excuse to use [Walk].

I'm all for supression at the markets. The reason I (and I imagine others) prefer it this way is it's nice to have some peace and quiet when you're doing your market business. Lights flashinig and sounds blaring while you're busting skulls? Right-on. Don't need it when I'm standing at the market; it gets distracting.

And just when you think that not having supression isn't that big a deal, you run into something like I did in Cap a while back. Two SS/ brutes (one with /FA) intentionally bothering people by auto-casting footstomp. And no, they weren't just doing it incidentally, they were standing outside click range of the market npcs. They were clearly not there to use the market, and were glad to make it clear to those who were.

Power Supression, I love it!

It stops some players from using their powers to show off or simply harrass other players trying to make decisions on what to buy and how much to pay for.

I find players coming into the auction house blowing themselves up, deploying ligning storms, stomping the ground to be rude behavior and childish at best.

I sincerely wish power suppresion was also done at WW and BM as well.

But I do agree, power suppresion should not de-toggle you, just suppress the power graphic and sound effects. So when you leave the store you are at 100% and don't have to go thru the process of re-toggling...

Stormy

I find the power suppression to be more annoying than the person who does not turn off his/her toggles. Suppression affects me every time I step into a market in Praetoria. Especially the de-toggling -- Killing Controller/Dominator pets is sometimes not cool since the recharge may be quite long if you just summoned the pet. The annoying people only bother me once in a rare while . . . but then I don't spend most of my marketing time in Atlas. I probably only have a problem with somebody once every 4-6 months, and then I can just move down to a different contact. It is really no big thing.

I would LOVE it if bases had a market terminal. A supression room would be great for those few times an annoying person is nearby, but I consider that to be a low priority.

I like the idea of suppression but then I don't stay at the market with pets/toggles, so I'm already resummoning/turning toggles on when I leave.

I can see how suppression would be more tricky redside so the idea of a 'quiet, suppressed room' would be good. Personally I wouldn't like the 50/50 split because the most convenient place (vendor, market and base portal) is Cap. There's no benefit if that is 'as-is'.

However, the thing I'd most like to see is a market terminal in the base (and a tailor plus AE craft pad working there). This is something I'd get in ALL my bases. Usually when I'm crafting I'm hopping from the base (salvage), to the market (salvage), back to base (crafting and storage) and back to the market (sales). That saving of zoning would be lovely.

I'm not big on power suppression in the markets. And I hate the fact that Praetoria's ONLY market locations are blighted with it like poison.

Yes, I understand that people spamming powers in the market are annoying as hell. And I'm not big on that either.

However, on a scale of 1-10 I find that:

Annoyance of people spamming powers? A 3 to a 5.

Annoyance of complete power suppression and being reduced to a slow crawl? A 12.

As for retrofitting EXISTING markets for power suppression?

NO! NO! and HELL NO!

If you're not quite getting what I'm saying:




However, if it comes to adding additional entrances to power-suppression rooms or an SG market interface?

YES! YES! and HELL *BLEEP!* YES!

And, again, for those of you not quite getting what I'm saying:



Likely it would take LESS time to implement one of these options than it would to retrofit power suppression to existing locations.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a "quiet room" at Wentworths...It's called King's Row Wentworth's. This is where I always to do my marketeering. I play on Freedom, and still rarely see more than a couple people there.
