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

by that same standard you can say the only reason people use AHs in other games is "cuz they have to" even if they hate it

The difference is that those games don't have the majority of its reviews as well as a large portion of its playerbase condemning that system and quitting the game because of it.

I just spent the better part of two days mining up mats to sell and make myself a little gil. Since SE's refusal to implement an auction house I'm force to use their market ward system. No my bazzar is not an option. Hoping someone that needs the item I'm selling just happens to check my bazzar? Are you kidding?

Unfortunately, there is not one inch of free realistate in the masons ward to summon my retainer. My only option now is to pay a huge tax on my sales by summoning my retainer in another ward.

If there is no room to summon a retainer now in the correct ward, what is it going to be like when/if they release a PS3 version of the game?

By representing every sale point in the game with a character, SE has doomed this system to failure. If you don't believe that, go visit your Battlecraft ward.

I know there are some people that will defend the market wards till the end of time but the majority of the players in this game wish it would just go away. I'm one of them.

thats what happens when you ask for your retainers to stay in wards and being to lazy to put them back in every day. lol

Get rid of retainers and market wards please, and implement the AH and Mog House and mail delivery system.

Running around back and forth becomes as redundant as running around with low anima, or doing the same leves over and over and over and over and over and over AND OVER.

It's almost as if the developers implement ideas but don't test them out before releasing them. Some of these developers need to play the game for themselves for month to test the FUN/ENTERTAINMENT FACTOR in some of these outlandish ideas.

But it is an indication that people are indeed using them

Because what other choice do we have?

[syntaxlies]

the fact still remains that even if the wards were any-good could you imagine them if 6 million people played this game. I dont play wow but that the number of players they claim to have.

Well it isn't like all WoW players play on the same server. I'm not to sure a game server could even possibly handle that many people. I think it would blow up or eat an intern or something.

How about something more realistic? 6000 players on a server.

Yeah, all the wards in all the cities in game at the moment couldn't handle that many players' retainers. . .

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.

I really hope that we can hire a third retainer when 1.18 rolls around. Gods know I need the extra inventory space.
