Why further enhancements to market wards?

[KaiKatzchen]

So with the most recent letter from the producer, came anouncement of further improvements to the market wards. I still do not understand why it is necessary to improve a failing system and a system that ( according to industry standards ) noon wants.

I like it.

This is the current process of purchasing and equipping an entire set of gear using the FFXIV Market Ward system

Walk up to Wards
Select Item Search Counter
Select desired ward
Select desired catergory
Find Item
Select Item
Hit "Yes" button at bottom to track item
Select Market Wards
Select desired ward
Wait for loading screen
Run to desired retainer and select
Purchase desired item from retainer
Run back to the Market Ward window

Rinse and repeat about 5-10 times until you have a complete set of gear

If I know exactly what I am looking for, it takes me no more than a minute to do that whole process. So for 5-10 items it would take me 5-10 minutes. That is not long at all... in FFXI I would stand around at the AH for like 30 minutes trying to find items then play the "Oh how much did the person jack up or down this items price" and play the guessing game. Sometimes I would impute prices multiple times before getting it for how much it was. With the Wards we can see EXACTLY how much it is, EXACTLY what ward the best price is, and go STRAIGHT to it.

Yeah... that's so much worse than playing the AH guessing game. /sarcasm

I'm for the AH or the Wards, neither bother me as long as I have a place to buy and sell items. But in my option, and I know people won't agree with me, I do not see an issue with the Wards... especially with the improvements that have been made.
