I swear that's what I've been saying this whole 30-page, long time.
Dragged on and on by the incessant rambling of someone I won't name and my inability to ignore them.

actually no that wasn't what you was saying or asking.... you asked why teams work in other areas that might be more importent. Which was answered 20 times over and your inability to read started an unneedded fight over your stupidity which I got the fking blame for as usual.

Kilta, hon, I never asked that. You did reply to it, though, many, many, many times.

I even asked you in your infinite wisdom:
What wouldn't they be working on? ANd what other things would have to wait while they worked on it?

Don't worry, though. You're off the case. I got some real help I think.

And you told me to read YOUR replies. LOL. Taste of your own medicine much?

Actually you do not need to design games to read the game crdits and notice the different people who work on different sections of a game.

Okay, most of the debate (and invective) has been about what ELSE the team that would be either working on improving the market wards or implementing an auction house would be doing:

What part of the development team do you think is working on balancing the overall economy? I would wager heavily that it's the same team that is working on the market system.

The trade seems to me to be:

1. Continue coding efforts to stabilize the market wards, add features to improve market ward functionality, and address inflation issues
2. Stop all of that development (or significantly slow it down) in order to completely start over with an 'auction house'

You can't have two teams working on improving the economy ... they'd be working at cross-purposes. Also, with option 2, with the imbalanced economy and hampered distribution system in place, adding new items to the game becomes problematic.

I would rather have a mostly-working market ward system and new content added, then to put it all on hold to wait another six months for some pie-in-the-sky miracle auction house that is supposed to magically fix everything.

For starters, how is an auction house going to address the inflation in the game? How is it going to address the overabundance of items?

It isn't.

and yet it still doesnt show that you know a thing about how to design the games themselves
looking at credits doesnt tell you that you know the structure of how everything is done
so stop acting like you know everything please and let people who want to discuss this rationaly and not get off topic do so

If you understand it then why are you asking?

Bayohne, I don't want to get on your back mate, but please then tell us, in no uncertain terms, why we won't be getting an auction house.

We are not children. Tell it how it is.

It just doesn't make any sense to continue with a flawed system like the market wards.

If there is a specific reason behind all this, yoshi or someone should just say so and be done with it.

Actually you did and put it in bold.

I just gave a snipit of what you asked.

you said
" A TEAM WORKING ON THE AUCTION HOUSE IS A TEAM NOT WORKING ON SOMETHING (Else)"

My reply meny times : different coding each team work in their area of expertise.

and thats not discounting the fact at least 1 of those teams is a graphics building team(anything that has new animations/graphics etc to add requires this)

---

Yeah I'm fairly sure I said if the animation team is busy animating me jump, they aren't animating me summon Ifrit.
I guess that got lost in the wastes of spam argument.
