Wow, no mention of Auction house / MW improvements

[Starplayer]

I can't believe it wasn't mentioned. I get the feeling they're avoiding the subject altogether because they've been told not to implement it due to RMT reasons, and they know this knowledge will create a mob of angry players.

The subject of an AH I mean

[grandm]

you don't need a AH the market ward works fine. i have no problem finding the right gear for my class, or selling unwanted gear, i hear the MW used to be broke when there was no search options, but there is now. fixed job done move on

market wards are not fine, yes, you can find things now easy, but to enter an instance each time you need to change row is annoying. And the simple idea that all retainers are all standing there in a room have no sense.

Sorry bro, you can move on if you want to but I sure as hell won't. Unlike you, I would like an AH. The poll SE ran a long while back showed that most people wanted one too. So you go right ahead and move on if you want to, I for one, would like some new info.

[JackDaniels]

not even an ah, just a counter where i can buy everything and see the transaction histories... ffs..

-That's only 3 items... if you need a full set of gear, if you need 6 items to craft one thing, etc etc... It's very time consuming and not ideal at all. Sure it "works" but to be successful means spending a lot of time comparing prices and making sure you're the lowest selling an item, exchanging items, blah blah blah it's all been said 1000x before.

-We know it works... it just stinks to high Heavens because of how much of a time sink it is.

The poll awhile back shown more people cared for a redesign than they did an AH.

They already stated they're adjusting the Market Wards and will implement a delivery system when they fix the servers, which is why they should just move the UI client side so they can incorporate the DS that much sooner. AH is unneeded as they can just continue to adjust the MW.

[Starplayer]

I just wanted some clarification on the devs position as it relates to the implementation of an AH. If they don't plan on releasing an AH, then some info on plans for the market wards would have been appreciated.

The economy is so very important in mmorpgs, I'm at a loss to explain the lack of importance the devs seem to give the subject.

Why are you surprised ?

The fact it was taken off the "things to do" list speaks volumes does it not ?
