Wow, no mention of Auction house / MW improvements

Threat like this amount to nothing but getting some good laugh's on the amount of bigotry. If SE decides it or not it there decision not to a hand full of poster's on these forums.

It's likely that the establishment of an AH or any major changes to the market ward system will occur only after the server fixes. We don't yet know when the server fixes will be, so we don't know when changes to the system of buying and selling will happen.

The AH was never "taken off" the development list. Only the time frame of the list was changed. The first development list we got had no time frame: it was a simple "to do" list. But late in the spring Yoshida altered the list to reflect only tasks that would release or hit development milestones over the summer. Very long-term tasks were omitted. That includes the zone redesign, which they are obviously working on, but which won't be releasing anytime soon.

Yoshida has already given us a preliminary list of major content expected for 1.20 and 1.21. It's likely that he's going to keep this list relatively short-term. If he doesn't, then we all get overanxious and start complaining. But the fact that changes to the system of buying and selling aren't in our current list doesn't mean they're not happening. It just means they probably won't happen THIS YEAR.

Keep in mind, I'm not arguing that we're definitely getting an AH or anything. But any changes that are likely to put stress on the servers probably aren't going to happen until the server fixes. When we finally approach that point, I think we'll see a lot of items (such as a delivery system) on the to do list.

i am in favor of either as long as it is functional from all three citys. Also i would put map redo, jobs, and battle reg
i would really like to have the option to buy from the item search menu personally. pay an extra 500 gil for a npc to fetch your goods, idc. atever theyll call it) before market redo/fix.

I've never seen an AH that could wear the gear I'm about to buy. That among other things is one reason (albeit minor) for SE to keep making adjustments to the wards. They have a good thing going, but it could be better.

hey molly i know how we can make them happy

lets just change the name of the wards to "the auction house" and see if anyone can tell the difference!

they probably wouldn't notice. I've seen several of them say they don't buy or sell things in the wards anyway, so how could they know?

I have simple solution for you, Square: make it so we can buy and list items for sale on our retainers directly from the market ward search menu. Needless running around gone. Tada.

I honestly don't think that's the right solution. I say keep the part about walking to the retainers, but save us more time searching for items and add a delivery system. Storefronts for our retainers, for example, would be much more interesting and you can't do that with an AH. We could use a way to purchase items we don't have via out retainers, and even repair gear for others via our retainers. There is so much room to make the wards better than an AH that adding an AH would be a step backwards IMO.

On a side note got a video for you pony lovers.
