Color Trade same gold shop items?

[GDIEN37422]

I think it would be a great feature to add to the current 'You own this item' in the cash shops. Since the different variations/colors of the same item are of the same price, it would be be convenient to be able to trade between them to match your current outfit theme. It removes the hassle of buying two items of the same kind and putting one up in the marketplace.

Not only is it a gold sink, but the system makes sense as is.

Say there's a pair of jeans you like IRL and they come in three different colours. You couldn't just buy one pair, decide you wanted another colour and then go back to the store to trade them back, even if they're of the same value. You'd have to buy a whole new pair for another colour.

Gaia's not really the paradigm of reality.

I think alchemy is doing that beautifully.

Not really.

Alchemy is an entirely different feature from the gold shop. For one, the gold shop has been here since the beginning and people have quite often bought all the colors of the sets that get released. They are not going to make it so we can trade different colors, you are going to have to buy those different colors. As a gold sink, the shops are simple, effective, and used by every single user. They're not going to change any of that just because alchemy exists. (In fact, considering some of the requirements, alchemy probably makes gold shops a more effective gold sink.)

Besides, I think it'd be more of a hassle to constantly trade for them whenever you want to change colors anyway.

Gold shop items are relatively cheap. Just buy the new items.

Not really, the feature still isn't being used that much because most of the recipes require a lot of items to use. The GS is still the biggest goldsink on the site. GS items aren't that expensive, you can just buy the second color. Don't even have to sell the first one, what's wrong with owning the same item in different colors?

[Bendita Ashwalker]

The items aren't leaving the shops so there is no worry about inflation. Therefore, I don't see the point in making them swapable. I saved up gold and either mass bought sets or saved and bought them item by item when I had the gold.

[Queen-of-the-Rogue]

I had every color of the Elven Sets and jewelry until I sold them all off to help me get my Minthamella. I fully intend to buy them back as soon as I have more of my gold back, then I plan to get back the other items I sold off for Alchemy.

Didn't the cash shop become a normal shop for a while... ?
