Stop "fixing" the MW scrap it

[Sephr]

Kilta's pretty much just making shit up at this point. WoW's auction house has always been much better than FFXI's and FFXIV's system. The buyout prices have rarely been unreasonable and it's as regulated by the community as every other system. It does not take ANYWHERE NEAR the time to gear a character through an auction house as it doesn by having to go find every individual piece of gear one at a time (I can't believe you even suggested this), and going to a mail box to pick it up takes a fraction of the time going to every single retainer per gear piece to pick everything up.

We could even compare it if you want, it wouldn't be hard to record the time it takes to find and equip 5 pieces of basic gear using both systems and post them.

If anyone has fraps or something, it could really put the final nail in this god damn retarded coffin.

Kilta must be a troll, no one's that simple.

Don't zombies go to heaven? D:

Don't zombies go to heaven? D:

zombies do, retainers don't only the retainers who never worked in the MW

edit: both need to get shot in the head though... no matter what

Evidently they sinned mightily,
or they wouldn't be stuffen into the wards
to twitch, moan, and stumble
for all eternity.

A lot of the complaints I'm hearing about the market wards are how they used to be. They have improved. I haven't crashed in months. Even if a retainer you're searching for isn't in the correct ward, it's still marked. You can search for the items now, even if they don't have it so you can type it in yet. The biggest problems I'm hearing are organization, space, and time spent going to a retainer. That's really not that bad, and they are going to put more work into the market wards. With all the efforts they have put into it so for, I doubt they will get rid of it. That said, it doesn't mean a bidding system on top of it may not happen, or being able to buy items from a search menu, but that's down the line. We're all aware how this game has it's problems, and that's in every aspect of the game. However, at least the market wards work for what we 'need' them to do now. At least there is a place we can always go to buy/sell. For people that are complaining there isn't enough room, that's partially our fault. We all choose to cram our retainers into Ul'dah. But, SE has already said they plan to expand how many can fit, so soon that won't be as large an issue as well.

I'm sorry to people who are just hung up on an AH. I'm sorry to those that get frustrated over the seconds it takes to zone and find a retainer. Honestly, I think there are way more frustrating aspects of the game and also several other aspects that have already been addressed.

. . . Until PS3 release brings new players. Then we get to go through this all over again.

Retainers don't go to heaven. They have no souls.

Which is why? Maybe the underlying mechanics are at fault?

...ironically, the same could be said about current players.

But on a more serious note: What can retainers do that wouldn't be achieveable with a AH? Twitch?

We don't even NEED an AH. All it would take to fix the MW is to stop rendering retainers. No more zombies sitting in a dungeon; everything is browsed, posted, purchased, and repaired from a menu. It would bring MW in line with practically every other trade system in terms of user friendliness, scalability, stability, and upgradability.
