Why further enhancements to market wards?

[Molly_Millions]

to the OP: because the market wards work, they just need some tweaks to make them easier/faster to use. I've been saying this since day 1, we don't NEED an AH.

Well, you can get around with a unicycle. It works.

But, given the choice, I'd rather take the private jet, instead.

What I'm saying is that there's functional. And then there's a world-class market system. SE had a world-class market system when they made FFXI's AH. Everyone who's anyone in the MMO business copied it. But no one in their right mind would ever mimic FFXIV's Market Wards for their MMO.

I think it's pointless to waste time building on a bad system. They should be working on something that actually would be the envy of the MMO world, just like we know they're capable of.

People keep on talking about WE. What is this WE, ME, I, WE dont matter. WE dont make a successfull game. The hundreds of thousands of people that left ffxiv when it came out for all of its amazing problems and complete lack of a basic infrastructure that every other MMO seems to have working perfectly, within reason, at launch. I will agree with you Molly, WE dont need an auction house, I have grown accustomed to the MW. With a few fixes, I would still play this game, even with a crappy, or halfway decent MW system. But if this was another MMO I was going to for the first time, any other MMO, besides FFXIV, I would not play it for even 5 minutes after finding out that they dont have a basic Mailbox and AH system, and it is also unforgiving that a final fantasy MMO is lacking a Mog House when almost a year has elapsed since it's release. All of the suggestions I ever make in this forum have always been and will always be aimed at generating new players, new blood. I dont care about myself because I know where I fall in the grand scheme of things. I really wish everyone else would too.

What's all this about mail and mog house? who said anything about those? I said we (as players) don't need an AH. The wards are quick and easy to find items in now, they could be better with a few tweaks, but they are not even close to as bad as some people make them sound.

You are correct. The MW system is heads above and beyond better with the tweaks that they have done. However, no matter what else they do to them, they can never, and will never be as simple as just walking up to a window and buying and selling to your hearts content without having to move an inch. There will no longer be a need to fuss with retainers and what not.

I love how you say "we" as if you are speaking for the community..
New players wont like the wards. They will have to warm up to it and let it seep in your veins like venom until you actually are content with the lame MW.
