Why so adamant on keeping the Market Place?

Ya know what would be cool? if the retainer actually DID deliver it, got warped to the other player's location if they were online and acted as a delivery box to interact with :D

Also, I was just offering suggestions on how to improve the current system. Its become somewhat annoying recently when hunting down biast scales in wards. Theres usually 4-5 people that have them up for sale at a good price, but they are scattered all over the place. Having a search list that stays up would definitely be of help, but its honestly not that big of a deal.

I guess my implication was not clear. Having the search results return to the marked item would imply that when you stop searching for said item, the search would start from the beginning again. But yes, last search results would also be a good idea.

Based on your arguments it seems like you dislike the fact you were wrong about something more than her being "thick headed".

Even Ab pointed out how you were given answers but didn't want to accept them.

I mean right now if I sell a sword outside the right ward it won't be listed under the battle craft ward. Even if someone does that it should still be listed under the appropriate ward. as for a search feature I mean go to the wards entrance a window opens and you can ether browse the wards like now or if your looking for a iron sword you type in iron sword. Hope that clears it up.

I do know how the current system works. I obviously haven't explained my idea well. I'm sorry.

The MW works, maybe not in the way many would prefer it, but it works. However, I do happen to agree maybe it should be gone. And not for the typical reason that many do, "Blah it sucks GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE MAH AH", but more for the dev sake (unless they are having oodles of fun figuring out how to make it work well or better than an AH). To me it just seems like the devs who are working on it, should just slap in an AH and use their time more wisely in making this game better, instead of worrying about the market system. To me it just seems like it would be easier on them.

If we have the MW system, I'll be happy, if we end up with an AH system, I'll be happy. IDC tbh.

I hope you're joking. If you are, very funny. If not, stop with the "don't want to be like WoW" argument, it's a dead horse. Adding an AH =/= WoW or "WoWish". Chicken Little always thinks the sky is falling.

And to the "they're the same thing right now" people or the "they're on par" people. No, they aren't. Maybe some distant day they will be, but not today.

@Mack: They will never understand. Flying spaghetti monster bless you for your patience though.

So if they're not "the same" or "on par", explain how they aren't, because I current play FFXI, FFXIV, Rapplez and Rift -- all 4 games I can get gear just fine from the respective market systems. It's more like people seem to think alternatives can't exist in the world of MMORPGs.

Ok :), I'm wrong and you're right although there is no wrong and right answer here just as I would've stood against someone giving me half assed pros for an AH all the "pros" for the MWs are ones that could be implemented in an AH apart from impulse purchasing, and all I said was I doubt that's why they went with the MWs so if there is something else SE is holding back I would like to know what it is cuz at this point its only there so they can charge extra for retainers in the future. (majority of the responses were in the vicinity of AH only has 7 slots!, AH you have to open menus to use!, i.e., stupid responses....some were good but I don't think that was SE's reasons behind the MW) Go ahead and point out one response that solidifies the MW's existence and makes this topic null, go ahead, from all the responses pick the best one, you can understand that I may have missed one or two consider there's like 80 responses already.

When the alternative is a step backwards, and when you can refine a working and proven system like the AH instead, you can question it.
