Market Wards Population Fix?

[Nabiri]

What if they made a free teleport between wards, but you could only exit through the ward you entered? (So you don't get a free teleport to another city, but access to the wards.)
From within the wards, go to the door where it asks you if you want to leave or search, but also have the option "Teleport Limsa/Gridania Ward," where you can park your retainer and search items there.
That would get retainers up in the other cities again, but have them accessible from all cities.

Thoughts?

just replace the damn wards with AH

Or they could make it so you access the wards via aetherite and not towns and all the wards world wide are shared no seperations.

I like it .

I would really love to see the Limsa and Gridania wards populated again, but I don't think they will be any time soon unless the wards are linked somehow. Not like, one big crowded room, but easy/free access to any ward from any other ward.

And spreading out retainers from the Ul'dah wards would be nice. SO crowded in there. lol

that wouldn't fix the issue even if AH are added they might not link up. And still have unpopular cities be barren.

second post because my idea is long.

I suggested a 1 zone market ward accesed by all the cities it can have a court yard (for personal bazaar) andhave all the war entereces lined up on the left and right side. each ward would have 7 floors and a person is posted you do a search much like Aion or WoW or ebay. you type out the name and price range click the one you want and get tele ported to that floor. then just walk to the stall with a star.

Also the zone can fit an AH if one is added but putting a limit on how many items can be sold 10 should be good. pretty much make the wards an interactive AH but also have an AH. Also fix the rooms in the ward to make placing your retainer neater. I dislike the jumbled mess I seen in some vids. It looks like an eye sore and I would perfer a neater approch. With this 1 market zone it should be easier to start in any city with out worrying about a traveling to the "popular" city for gear.

That's why you link the AH's together so no city as an individual market.

How about my idea? that also solves alot of issues.
like city lag due to ah
anyone can start in any city
and room for an AH
Retainers are a good idea. It was to help those who had stuff to sell but either couldn't fit it on the AH or had no money to play it on it. Instead of running your pc or game system 24/7 Which was the reason ppl who couldn't keep the stuff on had almost no way to make money, since the AH either got over supplied or no one bought the stuff.

No physical wards = no more city market
