Stop "fixing" the MW scrap it

[Chezen]

I've given multiple examples of an AH and MH co-existing, none got any response, so I'm curious to see what happens with this.

Sorry Anathiel. I've seen that idea float around in various forms. I think its a legitimate proposal.

i don't get it? what is diff from ah and wards...they are the same thing with all the options we have, [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] only difference is u'r moving from ward to ward, other then that it's a frickin ah either way.

also i think only reason they gave us 2 retainer is cause it taking to long to start charging money for the game. after that we can all buy as many as we want for space and for extra 10sales spaces. this is a way better way to do it then old ffxi where we just mailed *** to our mules. it saves lots and lots of time messign with mail system.

No it is not ah and mw are completely different ah works this is ah from FFXI this is what we should have or something simular

A few posts in this thread cracked me up! The way I look at it is this... You can polish a turd all day long, and at the end of the day you still have a turd. MW didn't make the grade. Give us something that works; give us an AH.

Polish a turd as done by Mythbusters.

Uh huh.. Thats right! Yes!.

I'm at a loss of words for the recent decision to kick players out from the MW if there's too much server load.

Even more, I'm amazed by the fact that they're giving us more retainers.

Here's my beef: AH WORKS MW DOES NOT!

See how simple it is?!

I never use my retainer because calling it and using the messy UI is not worth the trouble because in XIV there is no economy to benefit or to use in the first place.

So how in their right minds did they think having MORE retainers each with their own inventories and locations makes this system anything but more cluttered mess?!

I never use MW in the first place because it's such a mess now the selling aspect of it just became 10 times more complicated. Good luck memorizing what retainer has which items...

Tip of the hat to you sir

I can not stand this MW system and it just drives me insane, i have yet to sell my 999 stacks of crystal because all the MW's are full...

Is the market wards perfect? No? Then by definition it is flawed.

Edit:
Keep retainers, abolish wards, instill AH.

and RMT will get worse then it is now...........

Marketwards are fine, it has been pointed out many times. Is it perfect? no,.......does it need work? yes......

Just because something does not work right, does not mean it needs to be trashed and something else put in its place. I myself have had no problems with the market ward. I find what I need and get it in a timely manner, and I don't have to play the price guessing game I did in FFXI. Also when I go to sell my stuff, I can have my first retainer sell mats, and my second retainer sell completed items, and they also hold extra of said items that I use, so I keep my stuff pretty organized.

I see the "it does not work throw it out" excuse used on a good few things in FFXIV, and that mentality really needs to stop.

RMT can take advantage of the market wards just as easily as an auction house. They're just people with a lot of free time. If you can do something, so can they. Making your economy more inaccessible, unintuitive and frustrating is going to make people want to turn to RMT even more.

Dude the only differences is walking to the "seller" and knowing the price. The MW of ffxiv and AH from ffxi are the same set up. As in the menue system just better organized. And even still AH do not work nor are all that quick. I spent 2-3 hours getting armor food ninja scrolls ninja tool from the AH. I spent 5 min the the MH getting armor for my character.

So really stop complaining guys for no AH. Nothing was instant in Any AH. you still had menue loads, bidding /buying loads or checking mail boxes and reading leters to get your item.

There is nothing wrong with the wards and are pretty easy to use srop complaining about walking to a retainer that is a beyond stupid complaint. The idea in mmorpg is infact to role play and part of that is walking around and visiting shops.

[KalaKenshu]

Going from ward to ward is my only complaint.

I like market wards because:

1.) It becomes a fun race to find a deal on an item, and gives you that feeling of actually shopping for items.

2.) I usually check out other stuff someone is selling. Chances are, if they have cheap mining ores they might have some cheap tools too. I really like finding deals that way.

3.) If I want to just browse a type of item, say tradescraft tools, I can just walk around the ward seeing what people have to offer.

Is it that bad to have to search for items and go to the right ward? Really? I vote to keep the wards. I have no problem selling or buying things. There's even a search for and pricing (lowest to highest) for items, so you can just pick the lowest one. It's really easy enough to do.

[Wolfie]

You did not spend 2-3 hours getting armor and ninja scrolls on FFXI's AH unless there were none put up and you were waiting for someone to post the items.

You are a god damn liar.
