Market wards - Auction hous status for 2.0?

[Taokii]

I personally really like the market ward system. It could use improvement to handle more retainers in wards but the idea of having your own personal shop selling stuff is really interesting to me. Plus it's not like the current system is terrible at obtaining or selling items, with the exception of again the number of people allowed in the favorite city's wards. Can't we just try and not relate it to another game and take it for what it is?

With their "fixes", what is the point of having to have a physical retainer in a ward to sell something? People buying things don't ever have to interact with them besides the issue with +1 items. That's ignoring the fact that I can't even get in on the hot Ul'dah market action but rather that it seems incredibly pointless and adds additional steps to something that should be simple.

As being part of FF series most of us like (love) the fact that this games does things it's own way. No issue at all there. Buying and selling should go really smoothly and fast. The efficiency and pace of the transactions will always be compared to other games/mmo's, and rightly so. Finding the item you want as fast as possible or selling it efficiently is always a MUST, no matter if you call it an auction house, broker, or market wards.
There has been PLENTY of good (and bad) ideas all over these forums about how to do it. Now it's time SE tells us what they are planning for 2.0 so that at least we can give some feedback before development is at the point of no return.
