    Market Wards vs AH

    I see from reading these forums that SE has succeeded beautifully in frustrating many loyal FF players with the Market Wards vs AH system. While I am sure the current system must be easier to maintain (WHEN it's maintained) I think it should be a far higher priority for them to be addressing this issue rather than class names. Until we have an effective and player friendly sell/sell-back system, FFXIV and thereby SE is going to hemorrhage players, players long dedicated to the FF brand. I had hoped under new management site maintenance and improvements would be a higher priority. Wasn't that what we were promised?

    Market wards are an extremely valid alternative to AH, they just need to be adressed server-stability wise.

    PS: Writing in different colors and threatening some nondescript player exodus "if you don't do what I say!" isn't exactly the best way to make your post more readable or more solid in it's contents.

    Market Wards, in their original concept of a bazaar-style rummage sale based around browsing, are dead. What we have right now is a very basic AH with some walking added. There is no more "Wards vs AH" no matter how many times we repeat it. The current question is, "Are we content with this basic level of AH functionality, and how would we improve it?

    Huh? I thought we already had an AH. Or it least it's functionality in now on par with an AH. Aside from fixing the MArketward crashing it's time for them to focus on content and stop trying to fix what isn't broken.

    I respect your opinion of course, but price setting, especially for lower level players who need every gil they can scrounge up (LEGALLY) the game is unplayable at worst and tedious at best. What do YOU do when you want to sell an item back and the Item Search shows a big fat goose egg and no price history? I like the retainers idea, kind of, but price setting needs to be addressed. That IS content in this particular game.

    Okay... I should rename this thread "price setting and detection in the Market Wards". My sincere apologies.

    There is no need for an AH since the market wards act almost exactly like one.... I love the wards and how they are now.. I think it brings more life to the game. Only problem is stability nothing else really.

    Abriael, wow....I did all that? I'm female, I like colors. No offense intended. The issue, none the less, as much as I respect your other wise posts on these boards, IS a major issue for many players. Re solid contents, that is up to the reader I suppose. No intent to offend and no more colors, sir.
