Stop "fixing" the MW scrap it

All that is really needed is to make larger ward areas and have the same wards that are accessed regardless of city. Then all the goods will be in one place and people won't miss things that were put up for sale in another city. FFXI had its auction houses unified, the FFXIV market wards should be unified too.

Less "cited" and more "pulled a number out of my ***" :p

Sometimes, I wonder if this game is ever going to get good. Almost everyone with a shred of intelligence left this game a long, long time ago. It's only me, you, and like five other people that can properly analyze the game's features and point out WHY MW is bad, why developing it further is bad, and what an objectively better alternative would be.

Everyone else that's still playing this game would *** if it came from SE.

That's very closed-minded of you. ^^;

Drama Toramas need to use the search feature more and scream about memorizing retainers less.

Man I left the game months ago I just post here to kill time and HOPEFULLY have a part in sending this game on the right track. Threads like these make me lose hope in that ever happening though. It's ridiculous how narrow minded certain people can be on these forums. As if they can't imagine any possibilities or alternatives different than what's currently in the game. The majority left and the minority that somehow enjoy XIV want nothing to truly change.

Am I generalizing? Maybe. But chances are the only people who will call me out on it are the same people who are against AH, against auto-attack, against redesigning maps, and against anything that has ever been done right in another game.

LOL there are more than five other people that can analyze why MW is bad + all the other crap.

It's obvious that the devs have no idea what they're doing still. And unfortunately, almost everyone with a triple digit IQ abandoned ship after the first two or three months. I'm just a masochist and I like coming back here day in and day out.

If I'm not mistaken, the majority of the players that have posted here advocating a market wards system, have admitted that more needs to be done...aka they truly want change. I think it's narrow-minded to believe that an AH is just going to solve all these problems. The marketwards do have potential to be great, just like this game, but it needs work. And I think everyone agrees on that.

Read the rests of my posts please. What it all boils down to is buying/selling from a window or having to run around to different retainers and wasting time. Are you in favor of the latter?

For the love of God, Jesus and every *** thing that is holy in this planet, IT IS NOT FLAWED! ***, I bet that even the Auction House in its first implementation was bad, but they kept on fixing it. And I even bet that if the Market Wards were out and popular like the Auction House is today, you would root for a Market Ward.
It can be bettered, and this thread does give a good idea for an upgrade for it that can solve every problem you ever had with it.
