Market Wards, enough is enough

Another point is a lot of people don't have two retainers, they have 4, 6, 8 or more because they've taken advantage of being able to make new characters or use their buddy pass for free. I currently have 4 retainers fully stocked and I'm thinking about setting up another 2.

This is a very good point, actually. Are the MW servers prepared to handle 8 retainers from every player on the world? How about just one? I doubt MW can even support 1000 retainers right now, much less 8000+ when server populations fill out more.

Which is where my suggestion comes in, each ward on its own server would beable to handle this easily, did I not post that idea on pg 5? most of the issues posted since would be fixed by my suggestion

That's possible sure, but is it feasible? What's the current retainer limit in a ward, 200? That would be like dedicating ~40 machines just for a single world's market system. That's ridiculous.

That's not a solution. Say they even increase the capacity of a single ward, Wolfie said it was 200 retainers, say they make it a thousand and stabilize each ward, how is that a feasible solution? What is the point of walking into a ward where there's thousands of retainers and your only going for one? its not a solution. The ONLY reason SE is holding onto the wards is so they can charge you extra for retainers in the future, and I will keep saying this until people on here see that down the road. Nothing about the wards is good imo, the only solution is take the wards and make them a counter.

It does seem like that, and what is sad is if they had an AH but still kept personal NPC's for storage, people would still pay for a bunch of them lol Because its all about the storage not how much items you can sell.
