suggestions to devs. ideas to improve marketboard

how about allowing players to wish for more items so that crafters can see what the community needs.

The wishlist makes it easier to see items that are wanted but if you check the recent transactions for each individual item, you will also know what players tend to need as well.

Probably no, the reason I don't like the AH on World of Warcraft is because someone will put up 1,000 items individually.

I guess there's nothing wrong with that. I will say that I stopped using it altogether though. It seems like every time I use it or noticed it used the price for said item always jumps the next day.

Please no. I don't think we should have as many as we do. I know of a couple people interested in taking over certain parts of the market. One of their responses was, "fair prices for all"...I couldn't help but think to myself, "sure, as long as it profits amirite?"

Reverse marketboard. Buyers put up "buy offer." Sellers can attempt to fill it. Some people do this now using PF. I wish SE would add a PF-like thing specifically for player transactions so people can stop cluttering up PF.

TELE MARKET BOARD!!
Sometimes I don't have too many time to play; and buy and sell are very tedious and waste time.
What if you do a Tele Market Board? You can buy direct from a website or mobile app and when you enter to the game a moogle will deliver your bought. That would be awesome and I could buy and sell anytime anywhere.

How to implement? Have the buyer prepaid? NPC escrow the fund?
So for example someone bids a bluebird for 10m, then does it mean no one can buy it below 10m?

A possible solution is PS4 + PS VITA remote play...^^;

Yep. I postulated a similar concept a long time back, but rather than using the MB interface, it was set through player-created levequests.

I don't see a problem with that. If somebody puts in a buy order for a 10M bluebird and they put the gil up front, what's the problem? If the next buy order is 5M, that one could be filled next.

One of the problems would be ppl can keep +1G bidding for hot item, someone will never be able to buy the item?

This has to be implemented with the current market boards as it doesn't work with how the game's economy works in terms of effort, time, and class interaction.
