Market Wards, enough is enough

[Amineri]

Seeing as this is such a ridiculously volatile argument I think it is only reasonable to ask Square to do another new survey. I think the community is pretty split down the middle. The numbers from the last survey are completely unreliable as they did not specifically ask about this. They instead asked where this issue was prioritized in the community. If they want to preserve their player base this question must be answered.

Personally I am of the opinion that this argument is unnecessary. If you want to satisfy both sides of the argument you need only add and AH with taxes on it to create a gil sink and simultaneously remove the taxes from the market wards. The market wards will then become their intended purpose of a Rollenmart deterrent.

Seeing the confusion just in this thread about what "auction house" means, a poll is probably a bad idea. Unless the poll gets into details about just what features of 'auction house' or 'market wards' are being talked about, and, let's face it, most players don't care enough to get into that kind of detail.

In addition, such a poll would NOT be representative, but would only represent those that are (a) currently playing the game, and (b) interested enough to bother to respond to the poll.

A random survey would probably be more effective, imho.
