No wonder everyone seems to be in favor of them and the game received such overwhelming positive feedback. Man I can't wait to get home and log in to experience all the wonderful content in XIV. Eorzea is fun to explore and totally immersive.

Now that I've used up all my sarcasm for one post I'll say this and I'll try to make it as clear as possible:

HAVING TO RUN TO DIFFERENT WARDS TO BUY EACH AND EVERY ITEM FROM INDIVIDUAL NPCS IS INCONVENIENT AND TEDIOUS. BECAUSE OF THIS THE MARKET WARDS ARE FLAWED. In fact I would say very flawed. You know what? Maybe that statement about Auction Houses that you pulled out of your ass is correct and they were flawed at first, but you know what else? That shit works now. It works in every single game that it's in and it would sure as hell work in this one whether you agree with me or not. I don't care if you have to bid for items, I don't care if you can buy them directly and I don't care if the prices are hidden or not like in FFXI. I just want to run to ONE spot, open a window, and be able to buy and sell EVERYTHING from that one spot. You can call it a Market Ward, an Auction House, a Market House, fuck it. I just want the obstacle that's in between me and buying new gear as swift and easy as possible so that I can get back out and fight the pantheon of fiends that threaten the world which do not yet exist in this game.
The reason why you run around from retainer to retainer is because it's supposed to be a MARKET!!!
