Sales Chat - Please Reconsider
Posted 2022-04-01 15:56:06 (edited) #714231 So i have made my voice heard before, but figure, since the last thread was closed, i will remake one, but less flare. In summery: The sales chat time limit is way to long. 10 minutes for a single post does not make sense and is counter intuitive for what the sales chat is meant to be: To advertise what you have available right there so another player can go and either buy a trade, purchase a raffle, or submit a stud request. What we, as players don't want, is to go to a sale chat, click a link, then have to sort through a confusing threat post where some user (including me) are not that good with formatting or even embedding links in text so we can actually go to what the person is selling. Or have to scroll past all the stuff we don't want. Its mildly annoying how it is expected we can just make a thread post and post the link to it. The sales chat was not created for this. I can understand like a 1-3 minute cool down between posts, but not 10 minutes. Its Very excessive and over bearing for a issue that isn't even a issue. Please: lower the time for the sales chat cool down to be more reasonable.	Shadowflare #8939

You know I like Kats suggestion. I absolutely HATE this update. How am I suppose to cram raffle/breeding/sales into one post. I work a full time job. I dont have 30 minutes to post all those. It is ridiculous. Give me three posts every 20 minutes and I wouldn't even gripe. One for raffles, one for sales and one for stud. There issue solves. Everyone is level playing field cause it gives EVERYONE a chance for one of each.

I don't find it fair that certain members can't seem to post more than once every hour and somehow that is the fault of active players? If we are spamming and being the so called bad apples, well the moderators would be flagging us. This means that we are not and this is a strike at something that might not even be a problem. Hell I would be fine with a 20 minute wait time and three posts. My problem is not that there is a cool down. My problem is that I have to loose sales or participants or requests for something that isn't currently a problem.

Oh my god, I canNOT support this enough!! I'm too lazy to reword everything, but here's my post in the Update thread expressing my opinion:

Personal note: The Sales' update is,,,,, not the best. I think ten minutes is a bit excessive, and it would probably be a much better idea that, if a cooldown is necessary (which, personally, I don't believe), the time should be at most one minute. Hopefully, though, this is some April Fools joke, or at least will be fixed in the next update

Seriously, Devs, PLEASE, for the love of whatever you hold holy, listen to what we, as players, are saying. Read through the read, read through the suggestions.

I support this. I actually really like the idea of X # of posts with a longer time delay. I'm on the site frequently and have yet to miss a RO since I started playing, but I can't post an advertisement in sales chat every 10 minutes.
And I actually already utilize threads to host specific things - wolves being chased, my stud ad, G2 pups for sale, etc.
Making one thread for all of those things would be pointless because most people (myself included) are looking for something specific and don't have the time or inclination to scroll through a post with multiple links for raffles, sales, stud, etc. And it boggles my mind to try to think about how I'd keep a thread like that accurate.

I like discussing specific trades in Sales chat, it used to be a good alternative when we're instructed in Main chat not to talk about ongoing trades. It's all about fun playing using the trading aspect of the game, not only about obtaining certain asset.

I like how it used to be even though I didn't put multiple ads at once, I put another one after several minutes, less than 10.

I would much prefer having a shorter cooldown for Sales chat. I definitely understand that the cooldown is valuable to prevent spamming, but 10 minutes is a little rough. Maybe this is something that might be remedied as well by a greater character limit (though I know there are some issues with that too, such as walls of text, essentially)

One instance I'm finding with that 10 minute limit is that I have about 6 raffles going right now. If I want to put a link to my ID in Raffle Search, it creates a link so long that I have 10 characters to advertise my raffle.
It looks something like "[link] Raffles!"
If I want to be able to advertise all my raffles with more than one or two very short words, I have to post them one at a time.
For 6 raffles, it would take me an hour to post one every 10 minutes, and I would have to be DEDICATED to keeping on top of that timing. (And either get online exactly every 10 minutes, or stay online for far longer than I normally do - which I really don't have the time for.)

If I had sales and raffles and a stud... oof.

Even if it were once every 1-3 minutes, or 1-3 ads allowed in a 10 minute period, I could post a couple of my ads in the roughly 5-10 minutes I spend online at a time.

This is still relevant. Sales chat should be useful to do slaes and discuss sales. not forms.
