Market Board in MorDhona

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet or not, but I think there should be a market board in MorDhona. A lot of people agreed with me when I said it in /shout while in the city. So o3o please? lol

I sorta have mixed feelings about this.
I'd love a MB in Revenent's Toll, however that means everyone would ALWAYS be there, and I mean everyone, so it would take me about thirty minutes to load into town, instead of just now which is like five minutes.....

Well, you also have to remember what the Market Board actually is - it's actually a streamlining of the original Market Wards from version 1.0, which were literally an instanced zone connected to each city where retainers physically stood around motionless with their bazaars and you had to click on each physically to buy things from them. Naturally this was a very inefficient system, so eventually a search/list function was added, which became the Market Board in ARR and the physical Market Wards were removed, although still retained as simulated 'area' where retainers are held.

Thus as programming wise the Market Wards still exist, albeit not in a physical form but more simulated data that the Market Board reads from, because Revenant's Toll doesn't actually have a Market Ward, there is no Market Board.

I feel same, I have terrible lag due to density of players.. plus, cities will be abondoned.. I read a thread asking SE to make the MB next to main Aether Crystal (similar to LimsaLominsa). I'm against it since GC is on Upper Deck. While in Grid & U'L has it in Aether Zone. So its Fair set.

Lore-wise: Markets follow City States (even retainers are dispatched to desired city), While Rev.Toll is a stateless region so setting up the market there would be kind not systematic.. since in the Virtual world of Eorzea, the markets are available in more populated areas (Cities).

I suggested the MB sometimes ago, and also suggested to add the Tax to all purchases (since its non-state city originated).

Little to late for this i think our new hub is going to be ishgard seeing how every npc that matter would be there.

And...

if you happen to watch 2.55 ending, I highly doubt there's gonna be Revenant Toll's MB at all. ^^;

You can't know it's still coded like that. It could be the case, but nothing official's ever been said about it. They're probably just holding off because of what others have said; it'd make the laggiest zone in game even worse.
