Retainer Reference System to replace the Market Wards.

[Roaran]

With a reference system, rather than having separate wards, you could have a Repair NPC a Seeking NPC and a Selling NPC. With each NPC you could summon others' retainers to you and repair, buy, or sell items without having to travel to specific wards.

Each NPC would have a search feature, allowing Blacksmiths to search out specific item types to repair for example. And also allow people to search for what other players are looking to buy.

Edit: Although I would rather have a single NPC handling everything through a menu.
