    I don't mind the wards either. Now that there is that global search, it's just fine.

    :'D your sig<333 lul

    On another note, I like the market wards too. But I would not object to the global search feature being a bit more like an AH, for example, listing the prices of previous items instead of the prices just vanishing once the item is sold. Some type of history would be nice.

    Just out of curiosity, would what a price history help?

    This is more of a curious question, from what I have recently read in other threads that seems like it was a big part of the 'blind bid' auction house of FF11, is that right? I didnt get to use that system at all, so I dont know much about it.

    In my experience though, players eventually find a standard price on their own without a history. After time the market stabilizes and 'minimum prices' kind of fall in place. People know that x item will sell for around x price because thats what it is worth, or at least that is what I have seen on other games.

    Assuming a 'blind auction' type situation was not introduced, is this something that would be needed?

    I think it would help just to keep certain things, usually things that are not so common on the wards, at a somewhat steady price. For example, I buy and sell a lot of food ingredients, but since these are not commonly bought and sold (at least on my server) the prices fluctuate drastically. Sometimes people will sell them for like 2k, sometimes for 200. It just helps to have a history for this type of thing, so the prices remain steady. This normally dosen't happen with things like crystals and popular mats and such.
