Market Board outside of Game!?

What are the chances we could get an external Market Board app? basic API based to check on sales, up up items for sale from retainers... any thoughts?

All this'll do is send the under-cutting war into an utter frenzy, once we can all check our sale prices at any time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

If you don't have the time to actually play an MMO, then you shouldn't be playing mmos. If your life is so hectic you can't log in for the 2 minutes it takes to check your retainers you really do not have the time to invest in a game you can't pause.

Something like http://ffxiah.com would be handy. Ignore the poster above. They must sit on their arse all day everyday playing.

The OP isn't asking for that, they're asking for an app that functions as a mobile AH where they can sell items from their retainers from a phone.

Also, your comment was so typical is almost funny. But seriously, if you don't have the time it takes to even log in for 2 minutes, why are you playing an mmo? There are plenty of console games that will play themselves for you if you don't have the time or can't be assed to put in the slightest bit of effort and expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter...

I don't think I read anywhere in the op that they wanted things "handed to them on a silver platter."

Unless of course I fail to comprehend the English language.

{Hmmm.}

Let me see if I can help illustrate:

Situation A: Salaryman finished his lunch break and has 10 minutes left before he resumes work, pulls his phone to check the AH, do some transactions and then go back to his office.

Situation B: Cute student just finished her exhaustive Econ 101 lecture and on her way back to her dorm. The bus ride takes 1 hour, so she decided to bring her phone, launch the app and apply what she learned in class. Her logic might have been its better to use the time on PC wiping on Titan Extreme or something else. For one, am not going to question her logic, she is a cute {Miqo'te}.

Situation C: Grumpy politician sitting in a session, not pleased with the opposition who are attempting a fillibuster, so he grasp his phone, start scheming how to raise fleece prices up 200%. Its more rewarding than to discuss tax code, is what he thinks, not me.

Situation D: Benevolent Seraphic Investor sitting in airport waiting to board the plane, daydreaming about how the investment will bring back huge returns remembered he had enough Savage Aim IV materias sitting in his retainer. Figuring that since the markets have stabilized it would be the perfect time to relist them again. But wait they just announced the boarding, so he can't do anything. Upon sitting in the plane, he was shocked to find a wifi signal inside the plane. With a gleeful smile, he started to chart the AH movement, lest the 4 hours go to waste.

Situation E: A certain incredible Miqo'te leatherworker, have a 1 hour break so she decided its better to go and type some nonsensical words in a browser. The reason?? you know, the AH app is not working so she can't check her wares.

Puff-Puff away.

I am more concerned about the safety of our account by using a mobile apps
not gonna touch it

I think we should at least be able to see prices, if not do actual transactions. But didn't Yoshi already mention something months back about being able to do basic things like checking on your retainer and doing some in game gathering while on the train? I thought that was supposed to be on mobile phone, tablet and Vita.

I don't know about being able to do transactions, but it will be neat to be able to see the prices of stuff in the MB.

Hey all,

Yoshi-P did mention that we'll be adding even more features to Libra Eorzea in a recent Letter from the Producer LIVE. As soon as we have more details we'll let you know.

For one, could you please make it available to all regions? I tried to download it back when it was released on Android, only to be told it's not available for my region. :(

The app isn't even available outside of the US last I checked. At least I can't get it where I am.

Yes, and for free too please anything to get people buying more stuff.

Your english is so adorable it hurts -_-

Point being that yes, I play ARR on my gaming rig at home. I'm not even going to pretend I could log in through my laptop because its already enough of a fire hazard. I would love to see a little something added for interaction outside the game bloc itself and market would be a good start (though it may end disastrously... I think it would be worth the attempt)

How is this relevant? You can't see current AH prices on your server as far as I can tell.

laptop and phone a deadly combination

wow, people did comment back this long ago about the problems this app will cause and they do it anyway, SE being SE, ignoring people yet again and doing whatever they want (like greed only, forced CS, taking chat out of fest)

Now THIS is a Necro

Of course, because they should have consulted a four-year-old, twenty-post forum discussion (with split opinions on it being good or bad) to decide whether they should go ahead with their idea or not?
