Revamped Free Market system

they could simply let people buy regular permits for like 30 mil+ mesos (for a certain amount of time) and that will get more people willing to invest their and "fun".

That's the same problem with MTS tax, the cost is too high for new players that want to make some money. My concept is a free 16 item limit store but 24 item limit for NX.

Potential? You want potential items in MTS? LOL
We haven't even gotten Maker items there (magic powders, monster crystals, basic/intermediate/advanced gems...) and we've had Maker way longer than we've had Potential.

Potential was just the more important example I was thinking of. The question is why isn't it updated when new items are introduced?

MTS search function needs to learn a bit from owls. You should be able to select a specific item. If I'm searching for "diamond" I don't (necessarily) want to see pages and pages of "diamond ore". And I want to be able to search for just "scroll for gloves for att 60%" instead of all glove attack scrolls...

They actually have this function for the new scrolls such as topwear for luk 60%, I want it to be like this for all items.

I agree that FM should be like MTS, though. List your items and then go on your merry way, to train or to do homework or w/e. And search for things and sort them without fuss. (well, assuming MTS searching is fixed...) Of course it absolutely has to be completely up-to-date. If a patch introduces a new tradeable item or attribute of items, the FM must be able to accept these new items. Otherwise, we'd see the "perion ch 1" impromptu FM resurrected.
That would get rid of FM spammers, scammers, auto-clickers, d/c hackers, and much time (and money) wasted by both sellers and buyers.
Yes, it would mean the death of Hired Merchants and Owls, but if Nexon could give up their 2x EXP cash cow, they can give up Owls and Mushies.

Oh, and we definitely need the ability to sell cash shop items in FM. It would prevent much scamming that goes on in game, and won't hurt Nexon at all. After all, every cube and gach ticket sold in FM ultimately come from cash shop. If more people end up "hene hoe'ing" with new outfits, faces, and hairstyles every other day (which they bought for meso from fellow players), Nexon profits.

There are CS trade rooms in other versions of maple iirc, so I didn't mention it.

This idea is pretty ancient and been thought of by most:

NPC next to Frederick (make it an owl NPC as an homage to the search owls we currently have) that costs 1m? mesos to use each time and does not take you immediately to the item (but tells you in which FM room it is).

Owls that cost mesos correct?

You're talking about ways to reduce reliance on NX. NX is how Nexon makes money. I doubt anything with that goal is ever going to happen.

Like what Sapta said earlier, they removed 2x cards, so it's not impossible. I brought this idea up because the market system relies too much on NX. Maple is boasted as a free to play game so when I see paying for permits with NX as a requirement it's a giant facepalm. They can always have some sort of NX item in the CS that makes FMing easier or better like the increase item selling limit I mentioned earlier.

Here's a radical suggestion.

Let's have a Market system like what Vindictus has!

I don't play Vindictus so I'm not sure what you are saying. But judging from the way you are wording it, it seems like Vindictus has something very similar to what I proposed.
