Market Wards vs AH

[Naylia]

I would like to see the Market Wards evolved into a true Market that is a zone of the city (and actually looks like it's part of the city). All shopping in a single zone, no multi-zone. There would be a central search desk to help with quick searching. Retainers would have to be in basic stalls or more advanced properties. A basic stall could be rented by the day - with the option of multi day rental. The advanced properties could be purchased and improved by the player. You should be able to hang out a sign to indicate services/goods offered. Improve your property by adding advanced crafting support capabilities. Post a list of goods than can be purchased on order for other customers to select from. Things of that nature.

You have a good point, much of the problems i have with the current system is that it is instanced, and this takes time to zone around, and is exacerbated by the fact you can only have one search being marked on retainers at a time.

What you have described is what I thought they were going to do when they announced Market wards before the game went into closed beta. What we ended up with is a hot mess.
