Market ward Fix/ Idea

[Kilta_Firelotus]

1 i know stall are in game instead of renting them and puting then on the side. Your retainer gets a stall upon getting placed in a grid format.
How about I explain it this way since ppl are on silly pills.

the ward only hold up to 1000 retainers. players only can set up shop in their chosen town. unless full. when placing a retainer either 1 you set it up at a pre placed stall or when you select a pre determind location a stall is set up.
NO MORE RENTING STALLS.

Now the stalls will be in a grid format meaning each stall takes up one block with space between each stall. stalls will be placed in neat rows in said market zones and have obsolutly no way of turning in to a hot mess.
This will help in loading as each retainer stall will be seperated with enough room to walk around.

My example shown this.
which i'll post again.
. = a retainer stall

. . . . . . . . . this grid box of dots is to show how neat the stall will be.

If you add in a feature where there is a counter that will let me list an item for sale, search for an item, and give me the option to purchase it, I would fully support your plan.

Seriously........ stop derailing my idea thread with off topic AH. Go make a thread about Auction houses and ideas how how to better implemrent them. As ffxi's AH stinks now.

ya because you didn't read about making the zone larger to support pre made stall stops in a better organized fasion.

I think a debate on a suggest, and it being a good idea or bad idear is rude and pointless. And just allientates the poster.

Repeating about "its in game and sucks" is also pointless and rude.

Skimming posts also serves to just increase the chance of misunderstandings

And trin I know this isn't a blog. But I have every right to be upset. I was not looking for a debate on if my idea is good or not.
I was more then willing to hear other ideas. I clearly stated.

When I get in game I just want a market ward to be neat, clean And not stuck in a small room. Like it is now. I seen what they look like, and thet are messy, an eye sore and everyone hates them for that reason.

So.. my idea was just a big detailed "i want to see a neat and clean place."

Kinda the purpose of a suggestions.

So far all anyone is posting on how thet disagree with it i feel that it pointless and counter productive.

Its not that I didn't read it, its that I disagree with the need for larger zones because as I stated in my first post about large bazaar zones in EQ its too much of a pain to have to go through to get to the person selling the required item.

Debating on forums is natural. And even more so when someone says hey this is my idea. Debate is not rude nor pointless but should allow all parties to gather an informed opinion. Also for the record I have yet to say the Market Wards as they are now or the stalls Suck. I just stated that I have yet to use them nor do I see many other people using them.

See point one.

Its great that you want a more open Market Wards area but improvement on the Markets Wards is one of that last things they need to worry about at the moment, especially after what they have done to them so far. Heck a month ago they were next to worthless but now with the search function scanning all wards in a city and icons over the retainers selling the searched item have almost made needing an AH pointless. The only thing they don't do is link all three city's into one zone and thats something that I don't see fitting in with the current setting.

It seems to me that stall usage was far more common before the search feature was added, and even moreso before the wards were renamed to something meaningful (Black Walnut Ward Three, anyone?). I know that I initially rented one (mainly so I would know where to find my retainer) and my buddy would park his in front of my stall (so he would know where to find his).

Once the wards were reorganized into categories, the search feature was added, and personal retainer character model loading was prioritized, the stall became an unnecessary expense for me, and I imagine others who used to rent them (and there were plenty to start) felt the same.

I'm going to put you on ignore now, because frankly, trying to understand what you're saying makes my brain hurt.

Which would be a good enough reason for me to make them either free to rent or take the rent of the stalls out of the "taxes" we already pay by selling stuff in the wards in the first place.

Need a system that lets a computer to organize your loot and sell it for you with a price system like runescape and npcs placed by itself without the need of you placing them yourself in the market. (makes it more neat) Then walk around or port in what ever the method is to get to the merchant you want to buy something at. The runescape system makes prices fair based on demand of the item and people cant sell something for 100 gold then sell it to 100k right away just because they feel like it. I know lots hate this system and want it to be more like real life where they can control the prices but lots just want to sell there "crap" and get on with the game. A system like this i would enjoy more.

The other problem with the stalls is that the lease expires after 24 hours. Ul'dah being the main center of commerce and my least favorite city means that I don't visit my selling retainer very often, so they would need to change the lease length for me to consider using one.

Of course, with the market ward system instead of an AH, summoning your retainer would get rid of your stall anyway; I'm glad they changed it so that we can summon them even if they're selling, but not being able to send them back is just another argument for why we need an AH. I often have to choose between inventory management and selling off my extra stuff.
