Is a big fucking mess imo, I never liked it. Life would be so much easier with free owls of minerva Mesos sink? increase fee on auctions?
I think if owls worked properly, they would be an incredible money sink. But right now they arent the best.
The information that the owls display gets more inaccurate as uptime increases (specially after the 24hr mark when many shops are moved, closed or replaced) but this information isn't false, its just outdated. You can always write down the name of the person who is selling what you need (this information is shown in the owl window) and whisper them about the item if you can't find the store
Honestly I always use the owls. I love them. Just don't use them to warp you to the map, otherwise you'll just get d/c'd. Rather, write down the names of the shop or the FM they're in and you'll be in good hands. I usually find stuff that I'm looking for despite the amount of times they show up with outdated information.
And I often don't find what I want because store is either closed already or item is sold (or not in the store anymore).
Sorry, I thought the post would be clear to the average mapler. It wasn't my intention to confuse you.
You still haven't said what your actual feedback is though. Are you talking about Owl of Minerva or something else?
I think he just means 'stores' when he says auction? "The stores are a mess and life would be easier with free owls." As for the feedback, owls are just a nice way to get rid of meso. It doesn't even take that long to go through the fm if you're looking for a broad set of stuff.
@Earth - the Owls are there for convenience (and they should work properly when we move to the new source) and yes, as a Meso Sink. We've got a fair amount of wealth within the community, so it's good to have a Meso Sink.
