Auction Houses vs. Market Wards

[Tonkra]

If they allow that, there needs to be a limited amount of designated spots (like booths) for retainers so we don't end up with:

you mean something more like this? ;D (Lineage II)


And these are only playercharacters who opened private shops.. and not market NPC's. (then it would be even more character models)


I see the city zones crashing, and i cant imagine, how a PS3 should handle this, because they cant reduce the graphic settings.

And i dont get at all why we need extra polygon characters, who are only standing around like zombies.. i never will get it.. it just causes server lag and crashes... and uses much server capacity.

It's very possible that an AH would not reduce the number of clicks by much. Besides, it's not like putting something up for sale in the MW is all that inefficient anyway it take a minute or two at most.

Well its very inefficient... you check the prices first at the markethall npc then you run to your market ward and transfer the item to him.


instead of checking price -> sell it directly at the npc.

the market ward system works like this:

check price at market npc -> switch to an other market zone.. -> walk to your market ward -> transfer item and set price..

want to sell more than one item? do the same procedure again or write all prices down on paper before going to your market ward.
wind crystal -> 60k
polearm -> 100k
cole -> 20k
-> transfer to your ward.

not inefficient? ... well i would se its much inefficient and no fun at all to sell items via a second npc... instead of transfering it directly after checking the prices like with an auction house. who needs this? i want to sell stuff on my own.

personally i dont need a personal slave.
