Please do something about the overflowing Market Wards!

An AH wouldn't help not being able to find anything in LL or Gridania. It would just mean everyone uses the Uldah AH. Unless the minute they add an AH all three starter cities should link to the same AH like XI's does now after updates. But seriously adding an AH at this point is something I don't care about because of the amount of programming it will take, and we all know how slow they are.

Exactly. Count me out from the people asking for an AH, it's not that much different or better than what we have now and would take forever to get implemented anyway.

SE should have made it massively convenient to travel from city to city then. a game developer has to understand how their playerbase works if they want to manipulate them. they obviously dont know how their playerbase works when it comes to traveling and the economy..... my evidence? everyones at Uldah because of its convenience and filling up rooms with zombies.
if there was an auction house, there wouldnt be so many limitaions.

Well, yes. We still need some other methods of transportation, that would help greatly.
What I'm trying to get at is that if people who sell really wanted to make a difference they would sacrifice a little time and set up their retainers in LL or Gridania. Perhaps, I'll take more time to sell them but at least they can contribute to the de-population of Ul'dah.

I noticed that the wards were full for Uldah on Besaid I couple days ago. I couldn't help but wish the wards would crash again so I could call in my retainer. >.<

I suppose one thing SE could do is if your retainer's bazaar empties your retainer would automatically despawn out of the wards. Of course as mentioned above its hard to want to ask for anything since it will take 6 months + for anything to happen with it. They will have to look into it for a year first......

I can only speak for my server of this, of course, but it's basically IMPOSSIBLE to summon my retainer anywhere in any ward.

I have loads of things to sell, but I can't thanks to the retainer limit and the absurd amount of alt account people who set up their 4 to 6 retainers and let them sit there empty (you'd think they'd at least have the decency to not abuse the number of accounts they have, but whatever).

It's absolutely insane!

I feel the same way on Selbina.

its not the conviniance its because its expected that everyone exploits BW leves, which will be changing. and another reason which is to do with conviniance is the main scenario quests, but thats only till your first r46, if you do them right away.

So the only long term reason is for BW leves, which will be nerfed in 1.18 conviniance has little to do with ppl congrigating in uldah.

Actually you're wrong. BW leves are only why people congregate in Ul'dah. You'll see how wrong you are after the leve changes when BW stops being over powered compared to the rest.

Everyone puts their retainers in the same area because no one wants to have to check three different cities to compare prices. They want to do one search and look at all the items on the server. Not three searches. How annoying would that be? The only way to make the other cities viable trading places is to integrate all the searches.

Problem already being solved
they are raising the ward capacity

so this is a moot point

Except that that won't solve the problem, but I believe we've had this arguement before. . .

Anyway, there's no reason we should have three separate economies. Don't know about you guys, but I definitely don't want to have to do three separate searches for each individual item I want to buy, then have to write it all down on a piece of paper so I can compare prices. That's more hassle than it's worth. There's no good reason the three cities can't be linked, which would solve some of the problem. Of course, linking the cities and getting rid of the retainers would solve pretty much all of the problem. . .

SE, Please Link the all wards together, So people don't feel the lost of sales when they go to LL or Grid.

[Krausus]

same issue on Mysidia, all Uldah wards are full

I wouldn't say that BW is the only reason though it is a factor for sure. I think many people go because it is central between the other 2 cities and also the layout of the city keeps the important NPC's and places close together which is another huge bonus.
