Wow, no mention of Auction house / MW improvements

[TonyMontana]

dont fool yourself into thinking an auction house is the thing thatl make millions want to play a game

You are right. An auction house isnt gonna make millions wanna play but its a step in the direction. There is a reason most successful MMOs have an auction house it didnt just happen by accident.

Those successful MMOs you mention probably also launched with more to do than just leves. The lack of an AH (or other user friendly markets) just added to the pile of bad decisions that plagued this game's launch. However, the wards have been fixed for the most part, they are completely usable, but could be made more user friendly.

that is other MMO's this is this MMO, its trying to something a little different, AH was last decade. i don't know maybe your right maybe they should just rip of WOW and make a clone. maybe get rid of the class system and have ppl playing multiple accounts as well. why bother doing anything different. in fact why not call it "final World of warcraft fantasy"?

yes, because wow invented the AH, that makes perfect sense.

lets not forget most of those games didnt launch with one

True but lets look at it this way how many MMOs have decided to shut down their auction houses forever because they were hurting the game. I would just guess none of them. An auction house has yet to be a huge negative for any game.

now lets look at how many of them are actualy auction houses in function and not just nae
oh thats right, 1 of them, ffxi

Ummm I don't let an AH decide if im going to play a game or not for an mmo usually the first few hour's of content of play is what determines if you get hooked and continue to play, not omg they don't have an AH /rage quit. The m/w just need some fixes here and there to improve it and it be close to something like an AH imo.

[grandm]

i'm not saying a AH is a negative, just saying this game is trying to be different just coz other MMOs have AH, don't mean u can't be a success without one, the market wards work and are different (ok little tweaking might be needed) but in general they work.

if every1 copied everything other ppl did just coz it works, we would still be painting on cave walls.

I see we are getting into arguing semantics now. I tell ya what I will just keep thinking FFXIV needs an auction house and you keep thinking it doesnt.
