Market Wards Suggestion

[Answa]

the reason no one else's names show is because no one else is selling the item as cheaply as those that are showing...

the sort order is the the 20 cheapest items show up - therefore if YOUR items are not one of the 20 cheapest then YOUR name is not going to show...

no one WANTS to see your name OR items UNLESS they are in the top 20 cheapest list - working as intended...

You're totally forgetting about all the other people that just have retainers with names further down the alphabetical order with the item at the exact same price.

And HQ items.

And materiad items.

Ok, I think I understand what you are saying - if I place an item up for sale and its the 21st item, then the 20th item gets bumped off the list, regardless if its the same price as mine?

Hmm... even in WoW it works the same way - if you choose to sort the item list by lowest price first, the most RECENT lowest priced listing will be displayed first in the list, regardless of how many listings there are for the SAME price.

How ELSE would you suggest the game sort the listings?

SOMEONE has to be first on the list - what is wrong with the most RECENT lowest price listing being first?

I am NOT saying that all other listings should not be shown - if it is possible to show all listings, like WoW does, then by all means show them all - but that does not negate the fact that there are going to be 20 listings that are FIRST in the list no matter what.

That is exactly what I'm suggesting. Right now it's alphabetical.

Oh.. I did not realize this.

Erm... wow...

Ok, blah blah.

The complaint is not over pricing or date of listing. Its about an unfair alphabetical system runnin the wards. If character named "Aaaaaaaaaaaarthur" has the top ten listings, all for 40 gil..... his name only REALLY needs to be up there ONE TIME. He doesn't need to be, or deserve to be, taking up 50% of the list. it prevents others who might also be selling at 40 named "Zzzzzzzzarthur" from ever even having their items appear on the list.

This is a seperate, and at the same time identical, issue that affects +1 or melded items which are obviously listed at higher/much higher price and thus get dropped off the bottom of the list for the pricing reason.

If you want to argue for a SOMEONE being first on the list, let the oldest listings take priority but reset them once a week... "Sorry, you had your week at the top, you'll be kicked to the bottom now." The problem with this is people would, as with all things, exploit that with friends to control and overprice the listings for many items. Price gouging instead of price cutting.... at least it would be a change of pace.

To be fair it should be the oldest lowest price don't you think ?

As Peptaru says if a player has multiple stacks of items at the same price a retainer name should only have to appear once and not take up 5 or 6 lines.

Easiest solution would be to display the person who has had the item up for sale the longest be at the top of the list if the prices are the same.
