- Proposal
- A job be added to the Merchant profession or maybe it's own/implementation in some way anyone can do it just like a delivery bag you put on flagging you as a delivery person maybe make it un-removable while delivery items are in side. This could give us a shopping mix similar to IRL with in-person and shopping "online" at a bazaar and having things shipped to you. Would be EXTRA over the top, but also making it something like deliveries have to be "fly" to the location giving a layer of difficulty for the delivery person to dodge a fine from imperial/rebel inspection. But could be a great "minigame" that is players helping players while spending credits.
- Justification
- I've heard people talk about wanting more ways to make credits, while this would be players trading credit between each other. It could be a good way for rich players to spend credits on QOL giving them out to new players needing a quick way to make a credit or just a side job.
- Motivation
- Just think it would be cool and a possibly a extra non-combat job. I wouldn't say it's a direct problem but it's QOL that and the only time I use the normal bazaar is to buy a cheap bike or get scammed on something I'm too lazy to travel from ME to get that's basic.
I know SWG is bit older of an MMO so not sure if there is hard-coded reasons this can't happen. But I was thinking when looking at the bazaar one day, why isn't there a player delivery system? Not just a instant AH I bought this across the galaxy and now it's in my mail/inv. But a system where you could put in an order for something the credits are taken (like now when you buy something off planet/location) then you have option to have it delivered to you. That delivery ticket could pop up in a queue of sorts for delivery people.
Overall it should add another system for people to shop with. If there are a few fees put in and it's not as simple as offer credits for delivery and wait a day then boom it's here. It shouldn't disrupt the mall market system people already have in place. It could even be added to malls/outside malls as the drop off/pickup area. So while you go to the bazaar on ME to buy a pair of gloves on Lok, you spend a little extra to put up a delivery order. The delivery person goes to that location on Lok after getting/accepting the job then has a set amount of time to get it done or the delivery goes back into the queue. Picking up the item from 1 mall pickup taking it over to the ME mall and dropping it off. Then the original character who bought them would get a notification/mail saying it was done and ready for pick up.
I'm guessing this is the biggest hurdle making a way for players to get item while offline, like the item being brought to their home/guild drop location. Or just have drop/pickup locations like Amazon does. I'm guessing the biggest issue atm would be the ability of deliveries to get to the player. Maybe there is a pick up location on every planet, or at guild cities kinda like amazon drop locations.
