Mail, AH and Banks

[Cairdeas]

To me it sure sounded like every AH system i've seen in any MMO so far.

Market Wards would be more like this "go to MW, chose from menu which MW u wanna go to, Loading.. wait, Arrive in MW, open menu, summon retainer, confirm like 2-3 times, retainer summoned, talk to him, select give items, select item from your inventory, wait, wait, select another item, wait, wait, give up on giving any more items, go back to retainer menu, select setup bazard wtv, select items to sell, wait, select price, click ok and wait, select 2nd item, select price, wait.... go back to retainer menu, exit retainer menu..... 45min just passed time to log off for the day....

plz just give me an AH, no zoning, just talk to an NPC, see a clean and simple menu with tabs, allow me to drag and drop, selling 100 items= 5-10 min.

Every game thats had an "Auction House" has had an auction mechanic implemented even if it wasn't used by a majority of the players (WoW, Timed Bidding), FFXI was all Auction Mechanic (Blind Bidding)

Just going to a window and buying something doesn't make a system an Auction. That is a Market System. Eve has a Market System, You go to a window you buy stuff, its dropped in your inventory (In the station you bought from)


What that person described was a Market Window because he didn't designate any features that are exclusive to an Auction house (Timed or Blind Bidding) Only that a single place was necessary to purchase or sell something (Not a requirement or component of an auction, but a market)

Again, Taking the Market Wards, Removing the Physical Component (Rendering each retainer in individual Zones etc) and compiling it down into a searchable menu where you search an item, it lists the retainers selling it, you open the retainer see his wares then buy the item you want and leave, Or handing your items over to your retainer from said window and setting prices for them right there, doesn't make the system an Auction House. It makes it a Market Window. It doesn't Become an Auction House till Timed Bidding (Rarely Used) or Blind Bidding (RMT Bait) are implemented.


And I've yet to see a majority of players ask specifically for Timed or Blind Bidding, Just an easy and convenient place to easily sell and buy items.

Ok well this is what i want. I don't want to bidding part of AH, nobody uses it as you said. So can we get markets SE plz?

That's actually fine with me. Don't really need bidding. A market window that allows me to NEVER have to enter a market ward is great, and it'd be perfect if I never even have to talk to my retainer (except maybe to get mail or store items, but setting up sales? no ty. I'd rather use a market window to do that).

Edit: I voted on the poll too. Thanks for that.
