Not being able to buy single items from a stack on the marketward.

[Kiara]

The current features of the market wards were created based on discussions held between the market planning team and Yoshida. The market wards were set up in this way so that it would be possible to create differences between players who check the market and those that do not, by allowing the person placing items onto the market to research the current demand and sell an amount of items that are easy to buy.

To: Camate & the FF 14 Team,

While I would prefer the 1.0 system of buying Singles out of a Stack that has been put up (unless the Seller explicitly wants to sell the whole stack), another HUGE downfall to this system is the way it allows RMT (or heavy undercutters) to "blockade" the Search Results. So far, on some popular items, hitting the Market Search will result in this:

* Price / Quantity / Retainer *
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
79 / 1 / Rlkjadfs
etc.

Then after that, ANOTHER retainer selling 1 of each item that looks like an RMT's retainer at the same price. As a result, the first 40 (FORTY) spaces of a Search Results are taken up by this. Most players will just pick whatever's on top and buy what they want. As a result, we're seeing RMT or nasty Undercutters basically "spam / blocking" the Search Results and controlling the market.

And we STILL haven't received a good way to just find "HQ" Items without manually scrolling all the way down to the bottom of a list (if we're lucky enough that there are HQ that survive the search results).

This will only get worse when more players join / PS4 launches.

Can you at least make it so only 1 Retainer takes up *1* Search Result Slot?

Errrm... You can have it display only HQ items already... Next to the History button there is an Advanced Search option which lets you toggle Materia and display on HQ items.

A sort by Quantity/Retainer/Price function would certainly be nice as well, though...
