Market Wards Population Fix?

I like the 3 individual wards. They all look unique to their nation, and I think that's pretty cool.
I don't know if there would be room for all retainers in one zone.. Wouldn't that be kinda laggy?
I would prefer if they made travel easy between all 3 instead.

they would still be in seperate rooms. just a central courtyard for an AH or personal bazaars it be much like the chocobo staduim. even if they add faster travel between cities SE will make it so you need to be a certain level and do a quest to unlock it. :/ or take to long.

I would like an AH. But, I have seen something similar in Final Fantasy 11. You could basically enter anywhere and meet with others for Chocobo Racing but exit in the same area you entere'd. If they don't get an AH, this would fix the "Everyone sells stuff only in Ul'dah" problem.

that is my idea. you any city can enter this zone but only exit the city you came in from. I just don't wanna waste time traveling around when I get to play. Mostly because I will be starting in LL.

Anyway... i think something similar to the choco staduim but still have the rooms attached would serve as a nice gathering place to sell off goods vs crowding the cities with bazaars and spam shouting of selling goods. It can also be a good meeting place to trade gear or do repairs.

On a personal note, when my linkshell we're all scattered in different city's we would gather at the Chocobo Stadium and teleport together to a single location. Also, if they don't make a central "Jeuno" type city soon where ppl can sell the majority of items it's really going to hurt the other city's. Quick fix instead of an Auction House would be this solution I think.

haveing both a AH with limited postable items (FFXI had 6 i think) and haveing the retainer wards could work... but it would be redundant... id say one or the other.

then again im for a personal store from your character... and an AH... i think it works well.

at least an AH... as it is a basic foundation for many MMO's economies .. and it works well.

Good idea, I like it ^.^

ffxi issue is jeuno ppl only sell there and the 3 starting cities are barren. ppl made Ul'dah jeuno anjd similar thing going on. what me need really is a central market area that any city can access. It saves time on travel and is a place where ppl can meet up for repairs etc.

Coming from ffxi this was a huge pet peeve of mine. getting gear now in ffxi is pretty hard. Let alone having to travel for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as it's been a while since I've played, but weren't Bastok, Windy, Sandy, Jeuno/Whitegate, Kazham/Norg AH's all separate. Yet people still sold stuff in each of the AH's as there was a reason to be in all the towns. As I see it here, as well as a lot of people it seems, is that there is no real reason to be anywhere else bu Ul'dah as that's where the main story quest takes you. Granted everyone ended up in Jeuno, which is why it had more stuff in it's AH compared to the rest, but did they ever truly need to be linked? Oh sure it would have been easier to find the cheapest Silent Oils/Prism Powders or Sole Sushi but would you truly have wanted it to be like that? If SE wants to fix the emptiness of Limsa and Grids Market Wards they need to give people a reason to be in these two towns besides spending Guild Marks and getting Guild Support. Linking them to one specific zone is not the answer.
