Market Wards, enough is enough

Rest assured that the team is in the process on stabilizing and improving the current retainer system. Something that I want everyone to keep in mind is that even if we simply changed the current system over to an auction house, that doesn’t mean it would solve all of our problems overnight. There are more things that would still need to be adjusted if that were to happen. As such we aren't currently planning on switching over to an auction house system as of yet.

Less ward crashes, more organization and more of an actual "market feel" are some things I would like to see as far as the market wards go. The wards weren't a bad idea I don't think, my largest gripe with them is that 200 NPCs that stand there, doing and saying nothing in a very, very small room doesn't feel at all like a market to me.

The market wards are cramped small and enclosed. I'd much rather they were outside in a decently sized space.
I would prefer an Auction House at this point. Unless you could combine all wards in a bigger area.

That's exactly what I thought. Auction House is not a miracle fix at all. I don't know why people just won't understand that.

Bayohne, I don't want to get on your back mate, but please then tell us, in no uncertain terms, why we won't be getting an auction house.

We are not children. Tell it how it is.

It just doesn't make any sense to continue with a flawed system like the market wards.

If there is a specific reason behind all this, yoshi or someone should just say so and be done with it.

No, he gave a vague explanation, which is no doubt not his fault at all. It's all very cloak and dagger. No-one has clearly ever said why there isn't an AH.

In 5 lines, please do tell why

Honestly?! Are you on crack? What kind of logic is that?

I know, kinda hard to swallow that, why are they so stubborn, Market Wards do not offer any fun or benefits, it is a cumbersome system that needs to be changed.

According to the Player's Poll, Market Ward has been deemed as the 3rd most glaring problem of FFXIV and Auction Houses has been deemed as the 2nd most wanted feature to be implemented.

What more is needed to convince them that their beloved Market Ward is a FAILURE?
