Over Crowded Wards (A Serious Discussion, Not a Plea for an AH)

Here's a screenshot of the issue:



Note that one person has about a dozen shops set up, all with similar names. I doubt any single person can have so much to sell, but there's really no room for anybody else.

I remember seeing them before the patch, but haven't noticed them since the view distance of retainers is now a centi-yalm in diameter ._.

Does that count as abuse, or just an overindulgence of mithra?

As much as I loved the idea of being able to have a more interactive method of selling and buying items--this is just not working... and it's only getting worse as they try to salvage the idea!! It's been said more than a million times here--and for good reason--that a menu-based market is the only solution to handle the volume of players in any MMO

Props for trying though, SE...

( note that i said menu-based market... not AH ... :3 ... )

Returning player here and giving FFXIV another try. I logged on after patching to set up retainers, get my affairs in order before I start exploring and such. Like many of the posters stated the wards are vastly overcrowded. I left in October and I'm really disappointed to see this horrible system still limping along. I'm actually scanning forums and trying to figure a way to sell my wares (other than selling to npc's for a huge loss) In my opinion this is just wrong. IMO this game will always struggle under this system.

SE, cut your losses, admit retainers/market wards were a bad idea, and give the players what they want. (not what you THINK they want)
