Wow, no mention of Auction house / MW improvements

If its an unfinished product why is the game still being sold as a retail ready product? Why isnt there a warning on the box telling new customers they are purchasing some extended beta. Why hasnt SE recalled the product?

Well, if you want to take the philosophical road, why are you still here if you have so many complaints about the game?

Because I paid for the game and still occasionally enjoy speaking to the friends i have made from my LSs in game.

It works but it's time consuming, ill have to agree with RemVye

Hammer meet nail. What I like most about the MW, like Dreamer, is a vision of what it could be. But most people are too impatient to let it get worked out.

To be honest with you, i would like to get a feel of what this vision is and i think not many people do get it and you have to realise one year down the line, not many people will be patient. It is actually a big hassle having to deal with MW overall. Dumbing it down to search item > 30 sec run > done! is not a realistic view of the system, reality is it can take much longer. A simple example is buying a full set of gear, a worse example is what crafters can go through who will inevitably spend alot of time in the MW and i know TonyMontana is a full time crafter so i understand his frustration having taken many crafts, if not all to 50 (him, not me). We haven't even tapped into the bigger prob and that is selling. I'll just sum that one up by saying many including myself have ditched selling and gone vendoring because it's not worth the time, keeping in mind this is meant to be casual friendly.

I hope however, that the vision you speak of, whatever that maybe, is fulfilled by the time the major issues are fixed and this issue will likely be the next on the list. Otherwise, by then, i personally say scratch and bring AH in, or at the very least bring AH in and leave the wards for those fond of it for whatever reason. Though i doubt many would actually care enough for it.

Last but not least, nice sig! Always refreshing to see FFVII best of the series!

On a side note got a video for you pony lovers.

Well, perhaps you have missed the common notion that anti MW people have which is basically to bring something about that works as efficiently as an AH. Me and anyone else who are requesting an AH, simply request it because it works, not because it's an AH. So, until the MW becomes as efficient as AH, expect people to request an AH, because that is what is known to work and it works good.

You do realize an AH poses it's own set of inadequecies and problems correct? Because switching from something that isn't perfect, to something else that isn't perfect, isn't what I would call a progressive step for an already hurting game.

Right.. well, if you put it that way, then i will have to settle for the lesser of two evils.

[Dreamer]

if an auction house is the most important aspect of gameplay to you i have some sad sad news for you

you know what kind of person cares that much about auction houses? RMT? are you guys RMT?

My response was a general statement; it had nothing to do with auction houses or market wards. AKA off-topic.

Edit: Also, if you think I care about AHs, you may want to read the post I made before the one you quoted...

Which right now is the market wards. Taking dev time away from more pressing issues to work on something we don't need would be the greater evil. So I'm glad that we can agree.

This past summer which would have been better use of the dev teams time -

1) Making an event revolving around swim suits.
2) Perfecting the markets wards or converting to an auction house.
