And we all know that once your retainer gets taken out of an Ul'dah ward, you probably won't be able to get him/her back in there for days/weeks. At least that's how it seems on Hyperion. 4 days straight that I'm unable to get my 2nd retainer in any ward. Thankful that I have at least one retainer in the wards.

I would like to see who the sellers are just so I can see how many of these ppl with names like "akjsr cuyiewa" and "aogv ajesrvzugh" are selling things and then NOT buy from them lol reduce the rmt problem at least a little ^^

I am glad that you can even get one retainer in an Uldah ward because I have yet to be able to do that in a long time on Masamune. I have given up trying and yes I know they added easy access to other wards but still not that many people use them. WTB AH.

Not buying from them would keep their retainer in the wards, as well as force them to price gouge even more.

I FUCKING HATE UNDERCUTTERS.
Just wanted to say it somewhere and I found this topic.

On Ridell just like all the others you can never get in to uldah but I just rent a booth and works just fine for me. I know it doesn't work for some but what I am noticing is more use of the others. I can't go to limsa for some things but there is stuff there. For instance, decided to rank weaver from scratch, uldah market cotton cloth 1500 each limbs market 100 each. So while the people in uldah may sell a few to people in a hurry that guy in limsa sold 99 to me in one shot.

Back on topic I don't want to lose the inventory space and I hate having to market jump so I am torn. If they keep retainers but combine all 3 markets and call it am AH then fine. If they take away retainers but I can list as much as I want on the ah and have a personal house with storage then I am happy with that too

It's dumb that your retainer has to physically be within a ward for it to be searchable atm. If you try to send them somewhere it gives you the message that they get sent back, but still shows them as being in that ward even though they're not really in it.

Yeah it doesn't make all that much sense for them to sell things without actually being there, but neither does a room full of 200 people all selling random shit either.

I like my retainers for the inventory like most of us.

I think one way of doing the AH system and to keep our retainers would be when you put stuff to sell on them, that information is automaticly put in the AH system and your retainers dont need to be in a ward like now, so we can recall them anytime we want and any place we want, but the stuff they have on to sell is always listed on the AH.

what i really like about our retainers right now is that you can set up stacks of hundreds of items and people can buy them from you piece by piece unlike in FFXI where it was either a stack of 12 or a mostly overpriced single item.

I don't like that idea of anonymous. Names can help crafters and help us support good crafters better.

Some times I rather deal with certain people, or help provide supplies to them to stock in trade for crafts.

There are also RMT and price hikers that need to be seen. People who buy items, raise the price of them all, screwign up our economy to make large sums of money. It's good to call them on it.

If you are goign to be in bsiness people will want to know you by name. It's more realistic.

I'm up for keeping it anonymous for that exact thing, don't want to be bothered in /t by people who want me to either trade item-for-item or lower my price etc. Do not want to have to deal with them harassing me about something being overpriced, mistaken purchases and other annoyances, nor do I care to know which player is selling what. . . .

Buying low and selling high though annoying is part of the economy. Just like undercutting (sales). Doesn't mean I like it but I don't think it should go away. Don't care either way about being anon but I would be annoyed by the tells if I was busy. If not then those tells could lead to negotiations. "sure I will drop the price to xx Gil but you have to buy 50 instead of 30"

I like the ability to see the actual price and dont mind undercutting. I don't like having to guess the prices like in FFXI. Theres good and bad to both systems, but i prefer the FFXIV retainer way/see the price way.

Who keeps necroposting?

My selling strat in FFXI was always to aggressively undercut. Sometimes I would put stuff up for like 100 gil even if it was going for 50k so mine would be the first to sell.

I miss not having the search feature in market wards and instead we would have to click each retainer just to see what they were selling until finally after 20 minutes we found what we were looking for.

I agree with this as I have recently found a retainer with all 999,999,999 items. Seriously there is no excuse for this and just clutters up the wards for those who actually do have things to sell.
