Market Wards fixes: A definitive list and petition

[Kailea_Nagisa]

Hi. Here is the official poll taken by SE.

Almost 1 out of 4 people thought adding an auction house to the game was the FIRST thing the new team should add. THE FIRST THING! Even at a time when the game had so much less than it has now an auction house was still the most important issue for nearly 1 in 4 players.

....again the persons comment still holds up, that was 1-4 that are on these forums....... not even half of the player base posts on these forums, so...... that 1-4 turns into less then 1/4 the player base.

First off thank you for grabbing that before I could

not even half of the player base posts on these forums, so...... that 1-4 turns into less then 1/4 the player base.

Do you not know how statistics work? Let me break your post in half to better explain.

No game has or will have 100% of the game's community on their game's forum. However the forums still have a reasonable amount of people from the game with varying views of what needs to be done and what shouldn't. Were not all like minded here or you wouldn't be disagreeing with me. You can think of it as a blood sample representing how the body is feeling. Bottom line is that the people on the forums statistically represent the game as a large sample group and thereby have integrity in their complaints or agreements.

that 1-4 turns into less then 1/4 the player base.

The question was "Which of the following would you like to see implemented first?" not "Which would you like to be implemented." You make it sound as if that other 75% don't want changes when that is wrong. They would just like to see other stuff implemented first. The fact that auction houses was the second most asked for thing to be firstly implemented actually shows that a very large percent of the community at least has a problem with the wards. I feel we have waited long enough to at least hear some news on whats going to happen with the wards.

Price history is necessary because it establishes a point in time where supplier and consumer met in a common ground in price. These points in time establish a history of the item. this way the supplier can go off it when they sell their items and the buyer can understand when would be a bad time to buy and a good time to stock up. The lack of a price history is a big reason we have very unstable prices in this game. If a history were installed, prices would stabilize and buying and selling would be a lot more habitable for both supplier and consumer. If you need more info, check Wiki's supply and demand page, specifically the equilibrium section.

Kinda, Item worth to player is what causing the market to be so unstable but this is how it should be. If I as a seller can sell my items at a much lower price then most, I should be able to. If I put in the extra effort to cut my overhead and can sell items for much less but if there is an "established price" why would I? A price history, in this case, just means that those who go through the effort to keep overhead low can keep an item profitable for much longer then the other sellers while keeping the price as high as possible.

Keeping prices has everyone else keep there prices high making it hard on new ppl to buy things so they 1. become crafters and make their own gear which mean they'll need to sell too which means more competition for those already selling, markets get flooded which slows sells or 2. they farm gil themselves or more likely buy gil from RMTs and we all know how this turns out.

well with the exception of the rmts, I almost feel that's a reason against what we have now because I had to pick up crafting my own stuff because the gear I wanted was never listed in the wards. Price history helps sellers know what is demanded so they can supply that item. New people will have to pick up a trade regardless so they can buy stuff (You can't be unemployed and want a flat screen either), but at least they could decide what trade they want. I'm not a weaver and carpenter because I like it, I am because my battlecraft is conj and I need canes and robes.
