Market Wards vs AH

[Spellstar]

Since you've mentioned efficence, let's talk about efficence.

Market wards serve their purpose, you can get every item you need in acceptable times. Even faster the more features and search improvement are implemented, because let us say is clearly, there's NO feature included in any AH that can't be implemented in the market wards system.

Biggest load of rubbish I read on here today.
And the new production team clearly do not agree with you or they would not be wasting their time on investigating / preparing for an AH to be implemented.

I give you one (for starters) feature that cannot be implemented with the current system - clicking an item from a search screen which it appears in your mailbox in seconds. Then enabling you to instantly search for your next item...and so on.

And there are plenty more !

And who exactly said that a consignment system cannot be implemented in the market ward system? You sure lack imagination, my friend. Ain't it lucky that you aren't a developer?

Let me hear your idea for fixing full wards/overcrowding and people trying to sell different types of items, while still keeping the wards organized and streamlined.

hehe im in my final masters year to become a developer .. well game programmer actually but close enough to counter your point "friend".

To answer your once again flawed point, I was not talking about simply adding a consignment system, which of course could be implemented (but then one would never walk into the market wards, apart from to transfer items to your retainer) and that would make them redundant.

So what you are saying is that they should morph the Market Ward system, so far away from a Market ward that its no longer a Market Ward?

My view on the XI style AH and the XIV style wards is.......I hate malls, I hate going to them, I hate browsing stores while standing up for countless hours while peoples ill-raised kids run wild- this is kind of what the Market Wards resembled when the game came out, it has gotten better.

IMHO, I would rather sit down on the internet and spend 30 or so minutes comparing prices and then have it shipped to me, maybe I'm lazy.

The search function to the wards made them better but I still spend a ridiculous amount of time in them trying to get everything I need for a synthesis. In a game designed around being able to hop on quickly and do something, the market wards is an obstacle to this.

Auction how is way better always will be because its faster. If i wanted to shop like i do in rl i would go shoping in rl. The faster the better in my eyes. I refuse to deal with constant loading and cluter of the ward system were no one will sell there stuff in the right ward making even more time consuming then forcing people to put things in the right ward. If this game got more popular there would just be more wards longer load times more items were they shouldnt be that stupid. Ah all the way.

I also agree that the market ward function can prove to be much more rewarding than AH if it was refined just a little bit more... If you have ever played Phantasy Star Universe there market ward system was superior and I had much more fun and ease looking through items .. I think SE should really look at How Phantasy Star Universe and other RPG's have this type of trade system set up.

Just put the AH in already please. Many players are using bad gear in parties because they don't even want to go into that mess.

Yep, using development resources/time in a game that needs a lot of work across the board in order to implement a redundant system is EXACTLY what the game needs right now. Rite?
