Should it be allowed to set a vendor's name to say that there are free items on this vendor?

Listing free items on vendors

Post by +Colibri »

Just a quick poll to see what the general opinion is about naming a vendor "Free <something> on this vendor".

- In a way, the whole idea of not putting prices on vendors.uoex.net is not to undercut prices and basically disabling the market for that kind of item. And "free something" is kind of saying "0gp for <this type of item>". And therefor, it shouldn't be allowed.

- Perhaps prohibiting saying that something is free on your vendor, and consequently on vendors.uoex.net, is taking it a bit too far. It's an advertising strategy to attract more people to the vendor, it's not exactly providing a price of some item, and should be allowed.

Please do not post replies, we just need to see the general opinion of the players, using the nice graphic that shows number of votes above. Please do not open any topics on this subject. (any reply or similar topic will be removed). Thank you for understanding :D
