Market Wards, enough is enough

[Shika]

FFXI's AH was a gigantic failure. Who among people asking for AH were making your money crafting NQ items? Who among you were making money on Alchemy or Cooking or Fishing? Who among you were simply interested in battle and liked when you went to the AH you found what you were looking for and went about your way?

No-one ever really makes money from crafting NQ items, isn't that the point of getting crafts high enough in order to HQ and demand a higher price?
In FFXI I did actually make money from Cooking (which was at 100) and Alchemy- people always had a demand for poison pots, prism powders, echo drops etc and were often too lazy to make it themselves. It is human nature to want convenience after all, especially if you are in a rush to get to an event or whatever.
I did also liked finding what I was looking for and purchasing it right there and then and having it in my inventory, yes.

I do not however demand that the current system has to be like that, I was simply taking into account some people's gripes and offering a compromise solution.

I don't actually mind the Market Wards, and with a few alterations and tweaks I think they will work out just fine.
I don't care if it is replaced by a FFXI AH type of system instead- i.e. direct purchasing and selling of goods from a counter, with gil being sent to a delivery box. As long as I can find what I'm looking for and go and purchase it, it doesn't bother me if I have to zone into a ward or get the item straight away. Not everyone shares this opinion though of course.
