Market Wards, enough is enough

[Dizmo]

When you need to buy 8 different items for 1 recipe, how long does it take you?

Because it'd take me at least 15 minutes or so. Which is ridiculous.

never understood why someone thinks that items in a game should just appear in thier inventory with no involvement or cost. Games mirror real things, there is nothing real where you have instant transmission of items upon buying them. While because it is a game they are going to lower or diminish real time things, Each player of the game decides what they think is enough. Some people would rather that you could teleport directly to every encounter in battle, other people think that traveling and having a world with monsters in it that you have to actually travel to is better. It depends on the person, nobody is intrinsicly right or wrong.

But imo, the market wards has more potential for growth and making merchanting an interesting mini game, whereas AH is the equivalent of making battle more text based. Essentially if you hate merchanting, then some version of AH is your answer, maybe with various controls to try to reduce exploitation, if you enjoy merchanting and immersion in the merchanting world then you probably would prefer some version of a Market system, maybe bigger or more extravangant, with specific things, but you want them to build on that system. Make no mistake though, the perfect instant item see every item created, and every item sold and every item cost AH can not coexist with the market wards, unless it has a heavy tax. So Id rather see the MW which has the potential of becoming a sprawling town with tons of items, shop advertising, shop building, management than an AH which has the potential of becoming a wall of text.

simply a matter of perspective

Really?? 15 minutes?? Ridiculous?? When people were saying "it takes an hour to do XYZ", I could agree that it was a reason for complaint. 15 minutes?? Not so much.
