Market Wards, enough is enough

[Rizon]

be careful

oldschool players will whining about they don't want any new features and they love market wards so much!

Guess I am 1 of those oldschool players who, after 6 years of dealing with the AHs on FFXI, happen to like the Market wards. I like being able to have 20 items up for sale instead of 7. I do like being able to visit my retainers instead of having to log to mules. Having said that I will also be the first to admit that the wards are in need of major adjustments. Many of the things that people want from an AH can be incorporated into the wards. It should not be too difficult to institute a search and sell system from the menu at the main entrance. Also should not be too difficult to link all 3 cities. The blueprint has been laid out in FFXI. A number of these things were already discussed by the developement team and Yoshi-P. If they are instituted then the only reason for entering the wards is to visit your retainers. SHould help to cut down on the crashes. Only major work that I see that would need to be done is to widen the entrance point to accomidate all the people wishing to make use of the wards. I do not see where this would involve any more developement then creating an AH system from srcatch. Just my hunble opinion. <added> Forgot to mention 1 point. Wether we go to improved Markets Wards or to an AH system will be determined strictly by developement costs. Whichever is chearper on resources will be what you get as long as it fullfills the players needs
