Market Board outside of Game!?

[parkerjones]

What are the chances we could get an external Market Board app? basic API based to check on sales, up up items for sale from retainers... any thoughts?

[FJerome]

All this'll do is send the under-cutting war into an utter frenzy, once we can all check our sale prices at any time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

If you don't have the time to actually play an MMO, then you shouldn't be playing mmos. If your life is so hectic you can't log in for the 2 minutes it takes to check your retainers you really do not have the time to invest in a game you can't pause.

Your english is so adorable it hurts -_-

Point being that yes, I play ARR on my gaming rig at home. I'm not even going to pretend I could log in through my laptop because its already enough of a fire hazard. I would love to see a little something added for interaction outside the game bloc itself and market would be a good start (though it may end disastrously... I think it would be worth the attempt)

Something like http://ffxiah.com would be handy. Ignore the poster above. They must sit on their arse all day everyday playing.

The OP isn't asking for that, they're asking for an app that functions as a mobile AH where they can sell items from their retainers from a phone.

Also, your comment was so typical is almost funny. But seriously, if you don't have the time it takes to even log in for 2 minutes, why are you playing an mmo? There are plenty of console games that will play themselves for you if you don't have the time or can't be assed to put in the slightest bit of effort and expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter...

Snip...

{Hmmm.}

Let me see if I can help illustrate:

Situation A: Salaryman finished his lunch break and has 10 minutes left before he resumes work, pulls his phone to check the AH, do some transactions and then go back to his office.

Situation B: Cute student just finished her exhaustive Econ 101 lecture and on her way back to her dorm. The bus ride takes 1 hour, so she decided to bring her phone, launch the app and apply what she learned in class. Her logic might have been its better to use the time on PC wiping on Titan Extreme or something else. For one, am not going to question her logic, she is a cute {Miqo'te}.

Situation C: Grumpy politician sitting in a session, not pleased with the opposition who are attempting a fillibuster, so he grasp his phone, start scheming how to raise fleece prices up 200%. Its more rewarding than to discuss tax code, is what he thinks, not me.

Situation D: Benevolent Seraphic Investor sitting in airport waiting to board the plane, daydreaming about how the investment will bring back huge returns remembered he had enough Savage Aim IV materias sitting in his retainer. Figuring that since the markets have stabilized it would be the perfect time to relist them again. But wait they just announced the boarding, so he can't do anything. Upon sitting in the plane, he was shocked to find a wifi signal inside the plane. With a gleeful smile, he started to chart the AH movement, lest the 4 hours go to waste.

Situation E: A certain incredible Miqo'te leatherworker, have a 1 hour break so she decided its better to go and type some nonsensical words in a browser. The reason?? you know, the AH app is not working so she can't check her wares.

Puff-Puff away.

How is this relevant? You can't see current AH prices on your server as far as I can tell.
