Why further enhancements to market wards?

[Viridiana]

Yes I really do like the modling system bieng a part of any auction house system. I also would personally like it to be a specific buy out, rather than a bid or blind bid, blind auction type of system. Never did personally like the idea of over paying for a piece of gear in ffxi because i did not increase my bid in small enough increments.

Exactly. I'm personally fond of the idea of just changing the wards to an interface you buy from, but, if they decide to do a full AH, I'd honestly rather it be WoW-style, maybe with a price history, I dunno. But damn sure not the blind bidding I hear about from FFXI.

the AH in FFXI was not perfect but it worked well, I would not even call it "blind" bidding, because it was a matter of just bidding slightly under, then the price listed, then slightly over, and if you still could not get the item, the person is over charging and they could kiss my tail ;p

Because nobody want an AH. They want a Broker house, which the market ward is in some way.

It doesn't have to be XI's AH. Just the current system but being able to purchase items directly from the item search counter.

It's the "physical" market thing that is stupid and inconvenient.

And sell items through the same menu. And view price history through the same menu. And not be taxed because your six items don't fit in two categories. And charge tax on listing rather than on sale so the system doesn't get clogged up with people using it as storage or charging ridiculous prices(your level 6 weapon is not worth 80k, sorry).

I loved FFXI's AH because it didn't show the list price, which prevented the undercutting war that every other AH I've seen ends up going into.
Also, complaining about FFXI's AH because of 'overpaying' is like complaining about shopping anywhere that doesn't hand out coupons for everything. If you're not paying more than the average then you're not overpaying. You're just not getting it for less than it's worth. :/

Hmm, actually I am for empowering the buyers as it is now. IMO giving sellers the ability to artificially manipulate the market as it was in XI sucks.

I see how some people's interests lie on the other side though...

Ya I totally know what you are saying because I felt that way for a bit too. That will happen sometimes, but I really did not see it happening enough to make a difference to me. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives in reguards to changing the market system of ffxiv.... imo

I'm all for undercutting, 100k for a piece of armor R6 is stupid <.<

[TonyMontana]

Give us an AH or a broker house or whatever the hell you wanna call it but stop making this abortion of an idea the center of our in game economy!

[Nom-Brynn]

Improvements to FFXIV are moving along quite nicely IMO. I like the Market Wards and as improvements and tweeks continue it will only get better. Ta Ta for now, need to get back to playing.

[Ilean]

I've only played RoM and FFxi and in both those games when you bought an item you had to run to pick up the deliver from your house/mailbox
