Why further enhancements to market wards?

[Medura]

Id like to see someone buy 7 pieces of rank and class appropriate gear via the wards in 3 minutes or less.

I wouldnt have even 1 of those in 3 minutes xD Id first have to look through the city, finding out it got none, then port to one of the other cities and hope for the best

Lolol, I think the worst part about the market wards is that theres just as many people for them the way they are now as not. I think the angry FFXI community is dominating these forums.. for some strange reason..

Can't those "xi guys" play xi instead? If they like xi better they should play that xD There ARE things in xi that would be cool, but i, as most others, would like it to be an own game

I think the problem is that FFXI isn't meticulous enough anymore.

I think the problem is that half of FFXI is terrible and the other half is cockblocked by "PS2 limitations"
I'd rather not have the same thing happen to FFXIV because it ignored any improvements that have been done in some other game purely for the sake of being different. :|

Why further enhancements to market wards?

- because no one in the JP forum asked for AH?
- because players will never need to sell more than 2 types of items and so only need access to 2 market wards?
- because the 4 people who are convinced the markets are suppa cool post 50x more than people who don't?
- because the dreaded rmt's might flood the market with cheap raw materials, oh noes!
- because if people saw the same people buying and selling they might realize we only have player base of 20k?
- because every other mmo has one, and they want this one to be short bus different?
- because change requires effort? <--- that's my bet

Now that I think about it again, even with an AH you should not be so fast in getting gear, if you are, you are getting crap gear, and not paying attention to stats or other factors.

Again just a quick glance at this thread or any of the AH MW threads proves that by a landslide the AH is the thing the majority of the playerbase wants.

Look at any of the MW/AH polls and the result is the same. Look at the official SE poll of most wanted items in XIV and the result is the same. No mateer how you spin it the majority (yes the majority that also makes the economy work or unhealthy) wants an AH.

The lack of comment from SE on this matter is dumbfounding. Especially considering that this is the most requested item ever seen on these forums.

Cheese to go with your whine sir!! This is what I think of this thread to sum it up....

Watch them implement an AH on the first expansion. Then we can all discuss why we had to wait 2 years for a standard MMO feature.

Lmao man this is probably whats gonna happen its like were test dummies atm, but in the end they know what ppl want to keep them playing.

They most likely will add the things ppl wanna see and drop these gimmicky ass ideas, or continue to loose players until they have to scrap the game altogether.

The armoury system was a bad idea it will fade away, optimal rank system sucks, its gone soon, the over board craft system will take a step back, the boring leve system is getting downgraded, and the sorry MW system will see its final days as well.

Its fine to try new things see how they work but when you see that they dont its time to scrap them and go with what does, thats just good buisness. Thats what we will see here, mark my words.

All the fluffer girls that are mad about that cause they like XIV in its current state as a broken craft sim, get over it i'm sure even you guys are not that blind that you cant see the direction this is heading, and loosing the current fans wont hurt this game at all because there isnt enough of them to matter, if there was we wouldnt be talking about changes at all.
