How to Decentralize Ul'dah

[Technolust]

What I don't understand about almost all of the replies is you guys are complaining about something that doesn't even negatively effect any of you. So what if they linked the Market Wards, so what if they added a /world chat channel? It won't affect any of you, but it will help people that would like to be in other regions while they play the game.

People just like to complain, and that is what the problem is. You guys love to *** about anything and everything, even if it wouldn't negatively affect your gameplay.

I don't think any one is complaining, I know I'm just saying that linking the auction houses (market wards, whatever, same difference really) and a world chat won't change anything.

Basically if you want to hang out in Gridania or Limsa, then hangout in Gridania or Limsa, (personally I spend most my time in Limsa, I like it there better, used to be a sailor in the real world, I just realize if I want to sell or buy anything I need to go to Ul'dah just like when I wanted to sell/buy anything in XI I needed to go to Jeuno.), just don't expect a mass migration to those cities until there is an actual reason to go there and stay there, like say a reworking of story missions, or all the leatherworkers unionizing and deciding that they will only sell leather goods in Gridania (as an example). A linked market ward or world chat will not be enough of a draw.

The same thing could be said about the original post, and the general concept of this thread, You seem to have this knack for attepting to project your perspective a the only right one. So much so that you go so far as to tell other people what they meant. Changes in chat and the wards effect everyone. Oddly your incapable of comprehending this.

Not changing any of the current system to your way will not negatively effect your gameplay either. oddly you attempt to tell us we are at fault for our opinion, but we should agree with yours.Thats chauvinism by definition. look it up

ditto on what pandastirfry said, linking market wards may make things more convenient for shoppers and sellers, depending on how it's implemented, but it will not do much in decentralizing uldah as the hub. As for a world channel, I see it as something of questionable marginal use, and is more likely to end up as a shout spam channel than anything else.

Frankly, Uldah was established as the central hub at the beginning due to it's proximity to the other two nations at a time when traveling is much more restricted due to high anima cost and slow regen. While this is no longer relevant, there has been no reason for player to leave uldah since then either. If you want to decentralize a hub, You will need to give players a reason to disperse, and your ideas doesn't do it.

You're right, and I understand what your saying heck I even agree with it. Yet if they added these two features to the game, I know a lot of players that I talk to would love this change. Yes the majority will still stay in Ul'dah. Yet this change will give players who want to be located in other regions the chance to enjoy other regions while not missing out on selling/buying or grouping with other players.
