Mail, AH and Banks

[Onidemon]

Still no feedback on these? The whole community is very interested in these, especially an AH or Market system. I don't intend on attacking anyone with this comment but, the market wards/retainer is a broken and overly complicated system. It seems to me and to the other players that the only reason why SE is investing into trying to improve it is only because they plan on making us pay extra $ for retainers.

Making us pay extra $ for characters and now extra retainers, seems a bit greedy to me and i'm sure a lot of players out there think the same thing. I don't know of any other MMORPG having that mentality and even more some are adopting the free to play strategy or no monthly fee but pay for extra items, game feautres etc...

If FFXIV has any chance of competing with the other great MMOs out there, we need to have these systems in place and we need to drop that mentality of let's keep broken stuff because there is extra money to be made with it.

I agree and I wonder how many threads will it take for SE to finally address this? Even if somebody likes to hassle with the MWs that doesn't mean this wouldn't be a more appealing game to a lot more people if they ADDED an AH.

Honestly adding a working AH doesn't mean the end of RPing for the few of you who like the broken version of it. Even in XI people happily used the dingy rolanberry zombiemarket alongside a perfectly working AH it didn't replace AH nor did either hinder the other's existence.
