Private shops have a place in Aion, in my opinion. I like to directly interact with someone who is willing to buy from me, it adds a bit of salesmanship to the mix. However, the main problem is that people don’t get disconnected from being AFK while leaving their private shops open. To the shops defense, that makes perfect sense because it would be a bit stupid to set up a shop only to get disconnected 5 minutes later. The problem is that there are eager players that want to get in the game, that are stuck behind players leaving their shops open.

Over at AionSource, there is a very interesting thread going on about the impact of the private shops.

On Twitter, aion_liv had some input:

aion_livRT @aion_ayase Private shops is a topic here, not sure what we’ll do yet, but it’s being discussed.

It seems that NCSoft is keeping their ears open to the community.

Although the shops have been working very well in Asia, they don’t seem to have transitioned as well over in the West. What will happen to Aion private shops? Who knows. As I said, I rather enjoy them because of being able to deal with people personally, without the robotic feeling of using an auction house, but if removing private shops mean that more players are able to get in the game, I’m all for it.

Be sure to go over to AionSource to add your opinion in the mix, but be polite!
