i think this came up before, but was more of a response rather as a topic. does anyone actually check other mercentile houses if they are selling anything cheaper than what is sold in uldah mercentile houses?
back then i was happy after updates cause it resets the wards with no retainers and i get to call my retainer, now it doesnt.
in the past 2 weeks, i log on everynight just to see if i can dispatch my retainers to a ward in uldah to increase my chances of selling gears i made in the uldah ( even it being cheaper than what others are selling ), but no luck, even after update.
i mean, i am always up for universal wards, but if thats not possible, how about bringing back the good ol' "oh market ward server crashed " or "update happend, no retainers" and re-despatch your retainers.
im open for opinions on what do you think how this should be handle. for the time being im just leaving my retainers in other city's wards and doing leves as means of making gil
market ward semi-monthly reset?

It needs to be much more frequent than half a month or even once a week.
I would suggest resetting retainers after 72 hours of activity, its really quite sad that after 2-3 weeks I still can't get a spot in Ul'dahs marketwards.
My second suggestion which I made a thread about is making retainer placement completely random, for example I select dispatch retainer to Masons ward and it sends it to any of the 3 cities mason wards.
This shouldn't be hard to do and will spread retainers out and encourage players to check other cities wards besides just Ul'dah. -

I agree with all of your guys' frustration. I am in the same boat and have to use the market stands to do business. Unfortunately if you think of the affects a reset might cause on the market. I think it would be detrimental to the market if the resets occurred a lot. I imagine all the items that would be missing after every reset. I kinda think it would suck to have to wait for players to re-add their retainers just so I can buy stuff. To be honest, I would rather force the issue of increasing the size of the market wards so everyone can just throw it in uldah. Nobody checks the other city markets... SE just needs to help the flow, not try to redirect it.

Don't think they can increase the size of the marketwards without causing server issues, surely they would have done this already if that were the case, who knows though.
Making twice as many market wards could work though. -

+1 for global listing.The idea of 3 AH instead of 1 is not so good.And why the heck we have to fight over limited market slots....For what its worth,at least they should limit the Ul'dah slots even more than the other cities,to push people into the other markets.
