Further proof that the market wards are a festival of failure.

[Nikita]

Agreed with OP, on my server, the ward I usually need to place my retainers in are always full after the wards inevitably crash which is another issue I wish they would fix. I go through all that trouble to FINALLY get my retainer in the ward and then it crashes... Yay!

Maybe this could be an event for Summer... the Failure Festival... miquetes(sp) get itty bitty tiny weeny bikinies... "We have failed you so to celebrate, here ya go!"

Market wards failed because they designed the system first to hinder RMT and second to serve as an economic system.

I'd rather see SE deal with RMT by selling gil themselves. Then design a market system that serves the needs of the players and forget about RMT.

For a much longer, rage-tastic answer, let me know if you're ready for it.

listen..

anyone in defense to the market ward system for the love of the good god please explain to me how it's ANY different than an auction house, except for the fact that it's a massive inconvenience to sell or buy an item as so many unnecessary steps are required in order to accomplish simple tasks.

Why not just have a new UI, keep EVERYTHING exactly the same, just cut out the part where we zone into wards, go through a slow and complicated NPC ui just to list items or buy. I just don't understand the need for all of this.,...

Keep the wards for people who want to stand there and sell items without listing. (sort of like in ffxi - Battalia downs or wherever on your server people stood and sold high priced items in bazaar to avoid tax)

The market wards suck. That is all I feel like adding to this thread.

[Mack]

Woot! and you say they aren't fixing it, pfft, see that's why they crash in the first place so they make room for new retainers...its in the design.

[SuzakuCMX]

I don't understand why we have 2 retainers with small storage/sale space instead of 1 retainer with larger storage/sale space.

What I do understand is that you can use two retainers to set up in 2 different wards to lower taxes, but...

...gil inflow is already too high. We need those taxes to take more gil out of the game anyways.
