Ul'dah should have an aethernet shard by the market.

If you don't like the time it takes to zone somewhere? Only use the limsa boards and become a member of the flames. Only have to worry about the zoning delay going into the city. Tbh if this is such a big complaint for someone, I'd say there a bigger things going on.

travelling from 2 cities is also inconvenient and costs gil. everyone should be going to their apartments if gil is no concern at all.

i don't think anyone is implying this is a huge problem. they saw an issue and decided to post it. the devs are capable of making many small QoL changes, nothing wrong with bringing some to their attention no matter how big or small. just this patch we got
- cooldown timer reset (huge)
- reduce glamour prism clutter (totally unexpected)
- countdown (good but not huge, macros did the same thing)

it's not like because we got the first one, they never should've worked on the other two.

Weavers guild is about 5 seconds from the market - no zoning.

is there a retainer bell by that board? that always seemed substantially farther than Hawker's Alley, Leatherworkers Guild and Jewel Crozier in terms of distance to the Retainer and Board. adding distance to save the zoning is really not a huge benefit.

Yes, and two market boards a melding NPC and Company Chest. Anytime I need to go to the vendors in Uldah I hit the weaver guild and run for 5 seconds. The jeweled Crozier and Hawker's are closer for sure, but it's literally a matter of seconds from the weaver guild aetheryte shard to the market board & retainer bell, and a ton better than zoning to the Adventurers guild and then running for a few seconds and zoning again.

Leveling my gold smith these days, I totally agree with you.

Omg yes. Ul'dah is so dead except for the occasional newbie and/or Gilseller because it is so inconvenient to use x_X

I am convinced though that this is on purpose. The devs said more than once back in 1.x that they didn't like how everyone flocked to Ul'dah and left the other cities empty.
Now Ul'dah is so inconvenient, nobody goes there anymore..xD Goal accomplished >.>

(not that I mind, being a regular Limsa dweller..but it just seems excessive)

I like Ul'dah's thematics most out of the three starting cities, but also avoid using Ul'dah as my "main base" city to hang around in because of inconvenience with market accessibility.

Someone pointed out it's "just a few seconds", and that's absolutely true. This isn't a huge earth-shattering problem that needs immediate resolution; it's a simple request for a QoL change to Ul'dah's aethernet to better accommodate players who actually like hanging around in Ul'dah.

Even if you argue that the developers have better things to allocate resources to, it's not like this thread is a demand to do it asap. I'm fine with it happening "at some point" when they have some free time to allocate to it. I'd like to bring it to the attention, though, because spending five seconds every time I visit the marketboard adds up when done continuously. Housing puts marketboards at a premium (you pay more the closer your house is to it), so it isn't like the developers are somehow unaware of the value of a marketboard.

LOL if you could only see Ul'dah on my server. Was lagging to get to the squadron room until i got inside it and the lag stopped due to it being an instanced area.

The Ul'dah market board is only a brief walk away from the Quicksand teleport. I know the place has a bad reputation, but you're not gonna get shanked just being by it for a moment.

I have uldah as one of my free teleports and I can't say I've ever felt inconvenienced by zoning, which takes 2 seconds to load. Same with the jeweled crozier and the leatherworker guild.
