Poll: Yea This Again...

So then what is the point of all the hassle of placing your retainer in the "correct" ward (although there is no correct word really considering most people sell different kinds of stuff) and the hassle of running from ward to ward to ward when you can have the exact same functionality at an "AH counter". Don't think of the AH is the same sense it was in FFXI, think of it as the market wards bundled up. There isn't one good excuse for the wards and never has been. The only extra thing about them is impulse shopping but that alone doesn't warrant having them over a counter with more convenience. I'm sure they can find some better use for your retainers.

I don't find any part of the wards system to be a hassle. Also I think the wards are much nicer and more pleasant than walking up to a counter for extra convenience. If I wanted extra convenience I would bot. Just because something takes a little time doesn't mean its worthless. It would also be more convenient if we all started as r50.

There isn't one good excuse for the wards and never has been

This is just a blindly ridiculous self serving statement, but I love how you follow it up with one good excuse.

NO to AH

update: another good excuse for wards:

Here is one good thing about the wards over a list type AH: I can actually see what an item looks like before I buy it. I realize not everyone cares about something like that but figured I'd throw it out there.

When convenience doesn`t break the rules it should be welcome, I don`t get your logic.

Funny how you never gave a good excuse in favor. When I`m the one making the argument and I`m the only who has given any good excuse for the wards, you have nothing.

NO to AH

Just no for the sake of no I guess. No, why exactly.

If they made it so you logged on and were r50 that wouldnt be breaking the rules

I did give a reason:

I said NO, gave reason with logic, so I dont see how that is a NO for the sake of NO but my answer is still NO

But if you need more from me, the market wards are personable, sometimes i will see someone buying from my retainer while I'm there and I can chat with them or offer them a deal. I like being able to physically walk through the ward and see all the different ppl selling items it give the game more immersion for me. I like how you can set any price for your items and have a chance for it to sell even if its not the lowest price. People get familiar with whose retainers are whose. I like this, just another thing that makes it more personable. I don't want to go to a counter and instantly have all my items sent to me or whatever, I like going to the retainer seeing what I'm buying, then making the purchase.
