Further proof that the market wards are a festival of failure.

It is very obvious that the MW system is a corner stone of the game. What it looks like SE has envisioned for DoL and DoH will rely heavily on the MW system. We have no idea what future plans they have for these classes and how much more they will rely on these wards. Everything Might seem Simple and clear as to what they should do now, but only they see the big picture with future plans included. As with many other things under review, the crafting and gathering jobs are changing as well, and these systems must line up if they are going to continue to be a true class/job/whatever of themselves. One day(hopefully soon) these changes will be implemented and a thousand little light bulbs will light up and we'll all go "Oohhh!, that's why they didn't scrap Market wards,"

Definitely. And many people here on the forums fail to recognize that SE is wa~y ahead of most of our concerns and complaints. As if nothing will happen unless we say so on the forums XD

In Patch 1.18, we will be increasing the max number of retainers that can be set up within each area. However, by simply increasing the number of allowable retainers, the fact remains that it could again reach the capacity limit. Therefore, as a precursor to that we will be planning some type of system of checks and balances in order to reset the retainers that have been setup.

Honestly how many problems are you going to create by wallowing in this pool of MW mess before you realize that an AH is needed for any chance of stable economy in the game?

Man, I hope SE is beyond the laws of physics and logic too.

The solution to the problem seems simple. Get rid of the graphic representation of the retainers. Use the search menu as a purchase point. I know this makes it more like an auction house than SE would probably like but it simplifies the issue. Graphically representing every sale point is, for lack of a better term, silly and pointless.

Dear god SOMEONE still has enough brain cells to use some damn COMMON SENSE! Thank you my faith in humanity is restored...a bit.

Sadly No.. SE is not God..

moreso it looks that way when you get a 1000 post topic about Ahs and its 5-10 people saying they want it and blasting everyone who disagrees, and taking up 99% of the thread in the process

OMG... SE! why are you insisting on fixing the dreaded market ward system, just scrap that whole lousy idea, give us something proven and practical, for god's sake.

[Eldaena]

I'm surprised how bad some people think the market wards are. =p I enjoy them. I guess those who dislike the wards are the majority that post here while people that enjoy them are busy using them. lol
