Chess, Checkers and Tic Tac Toe...

I have a complaint to make regarding the, in my opinion, ridiculous difficulty associated with acquiring a full set of Chess, Checkers, and to a lesser extent, Tic Tac Toe pieces.

I have spent hours at the Bazaar trying to get a full set of Chess and Checker pieces.

So far I still need 21 of 32 chess pieces, and 22 of 24 checker pieces; luckily I have completed the tic tac toe set (although this was the set I wanted the least).

I don't know how many hours KI thinks we should spend/waste on this game to acquire such mundane items like a chess or checkers set. Overall, I am thoroughly frustrated!

I should be able to go to the Bazaard and buy myself a chess set, take it home, and set it up. Why do I have to camp out at the Bazaar to get the pieces. I don't think giving access to full chess or checker set will completely unbalance the game.

Again, I can't stress enough how frustrating this (and other similar scenarios for mundane items) is, and a complete waste of my time. So much so, I am strongly considering canceling my accounts.

You can buy all the pieces in these sets I believe from the Housing Shops in Wizard City, Krokotopia, and Marleybone.

The manikins are a similar example. Something seamingly simple and desirable with no specific in-game benifit and crafting it is silly tough. Obviously achievable, but worth the effort? Can a player with a first-time wizard under level 50 get this item?

I am surprised to here that anybody would consider collecting a full chess set!

I'm pretty sure KI hasn't thought about this at because they are simply decoration. I personally don't really understand the frustration. Go to the shop in Marleybone and buy them; stop wasting your time in the bazaar for these.
