You cannot summon any more retainers in this area ...

[Evenstar]

Seriously guys? Do you seriously do not see how stupid this is?

I am not talking about ONE ward, I am talking about all the wards in Uldah. What is the use of going to Gridiania or Limsa. You all know those cities are pretty much dead.

They should have known this was going to be a problem. They are the one coming up with this retarded wards system, so now I can not even use it properly. Not setting up a retainer or setting it up in Gridania/Limsa is the same thing.

Is this the reply to give to a topic that is trying to let the community know there is a problem? I am one of the few guys that supported this game from day one. Always defended Square, Yoshi and this game, no matter what. Those kind of mistakes are pretty annoying and need to be addressed. Stop flaming every single critic this game gets. Yes, there are loads of bullshit topics out there, but this is not one of them.

Making a system to sell items that I cannot access is stupid and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

here's the funny part. when someone puts up a post about something they don't like it's how they feel, but always get flamed. why should this be any different on these forums? the people in the topics you feel are bs topics could very well feel the exact same thing about this one.

Not near a ward now but will do that and reply here when I know more. Thanks for the helpful post even if it doesn't work out.

Not SE's fault you people refuse to go to other cities.

tbh its dumb that the cities arent one market. Having seperate markets for each city is just dumb and they shouldve learned from xi that this just does not work. ALSO. Telling somone to place their retainer in anohter city where their items most likely will not sell is just retarded. Have you ever looked at the wards in limsa or gridania? Theres barely anything there and if there is , its overly expensive. In this situation not only do i feel bad for the seller, butfor the new adventurer that hasnt made it yet to uldah and wants to buy new gear.....cuz either there is none or its wayy too expensive for them to buy.


One world market FTW!!!

One world markets are on the way!. and reffer to my previous response. Its definitely not impossible to sell in LL with good competitive prices.

i never said it wasnt possible, i must say tho, for the record i never go to gridania or limsa's mw for the same reason i never went to bastok or windurst's ah.

Well... in FFXI a different situation was present. the starting cities AH's had the lowest prices for low level gear, usually from 1 ~ 19. Jeuno/WG had the 20+ gears in stock. If you went to Jeuno/WG to buy low level gear, you would always find it overpriced.

Like seriously, this.

The problem is with the community in this case, not SE.

In a sense, it is.

At release, the story line funneled people to Ul'dah. Three main reasons kept them there:

1) The search function was busted. Players needed to be in a central place to shout and see said shouts to form groups.

2) Because of he first one, that led to Thanalan being the leveling hot spot. Horizon leves/behests were the place to be, especially since Drybone and Horizon were so close to Ul'dah in comparison to other cities and their camps of respective levels.

3) Ul'dah split the difference between Grid and LL. Traveling between LL and Grid in the days before airships and chocobos was a pain. Unless, of course, you kept Ul'dah as a home base so you were already half way to wherever you were going. Not to mention even Returns cost Anima then.

What reason has SE given players to leave Ul'dah? It's still the social center of the game. It's XIV's Jeuno. And as such it's also the economic center.

If SE could create a "world chat" to alleviate the need to be in Ul'dah to see shouts - or find a way to encourage use of/fix the search tools -- and create a method of having the item search counter search all wards in all cities, I think we'd see people spread out.

But as it stands now, what incentive is there really to go to the other cities other than for what few quests are in the game? Even if the specific item you want isn't on the Ul'dah wards, the ingredients for it likely are. Then your end product is only a synth, /l or /sh away.

I'm feeling the pain of this too. Not a ward open in Ul'dah on Durandal =(
