As a person who just got done lvling up a crapload of 99's. This subject was one of the most obvious to me as I lvled all the jobs. I found missing Crafted items for almost all lvls I needed to lvl up to 75. Perhap the cause was the speed at which we can now level, which makes so many crafted items from 1 to 75 obsolete now.

Do you feel that it is time in the games life, that SE should take another look at Auction House's Limits?

Perhaps allow the caps on how many items you can put on auction or how long those items can stay on auction be lifted in trade for new players and lower level players to have access to abundant supplies of items during the 1 to 75 levels?

I think there is a real fear that people would use the Auction House as storage, at the same time, I think there is a real advantage to new players and lower levels having access to this abundance of gear/items from level 1 to 75 on the auction house while they level towards end game.

What do you think, and feel on this?

I think and feel this has been addressed multiple times before.

For clarification, I believe the reason for 7 items is a stability thing. I think I've heard that 8+ items per character was causing crashing issues due to however the AH was coded.

In xiv they did allow tons of things to be in your retainers bazaars and it was frustrating as hell to see everything you needed listed as 99,999,999. There is also the fact that when they did have more than 7 it caused crashed.

Outside of that its not really a lack of gear that causes ppl not to gear from 1-75, its due to the fact that you are fighting mobs that are teetering on the edge of ep/tw and if you show up for a pt naked no one says boo about it. Before you HAD to gear or you simply couldnt lvl because you would be laughed out of a pt. Nowadays I show up to a pt geared appropriately for my lvl and Im the odd one out. Unless the playerbase starts not allowing other ppl to join a lvl 50 pt when they show up in event gear and a lvl 1 weapon it doesnt matter how much gear you put on the ah. No one is going to waste time gearing themselves.

This isnt really a SE or an AH issue, its a playerbase one.

I wouldn't mind a change whereby you could list stuff for longer than the current 9 weeks game time is it?

99% of gear is for novelty and/or aesthetic purposes these days anyway.

I used to have loads of low level gear lying around when I level synced all my jobs up to full AF levels years ago.
Putting different pieces on as I dinged each level.
Can't be bothered even on mules these days. I don't even bother using a weapon to level them to leech levels if they get H2H natively tbh.
