To all those people that loved the MW and did not want an AH

[KaiKatzchen]

The problem with market ward is when you want to sell anything. You put something on 10k and someone will see that and put it to 5k... At least doesn't happen with an AH.

Hate to break it to ya, but yes it does happen in an AH too. People would always undercut others on the AH in FFXI so their items would sell first, that's why the prices fluctuated up and down on items. Only difference is we could only see what people paid in the past on the AH so we had to play the guessing game, where here we can see what people are charging currently without the prices being hidden.

MW or AH, someone will find a way to abuse it, period.

It's a shame there's no item called Alchemist Tears. I'd buy all of yours, Market Ward or Auction House!

sales history is gonna help RMT take over and the the AH/MW now.

They way the Market Wards are now is fine. It's balanced with not so many freaken retainers flooding the screen on each floor.

Just remove the restriction and tax impaired to each ward so players can set up shop for w/e item they want to sell.

Call the floors, "market #1, market #2, etc."

They are making possible to buy items from Item Search menu and view purchase/sales history.

It's a improvement of the Market Wards, not a totally separated system like you will have on one hand the Wards and on the other hand the "Auction House".

You still will have to venture in to place your retainer and manage it.

@OP - I loled.

I like how some of the people that were against AH features are changing their tunes. Where are all of the "oh noes, my immersion!" people?

Next step, get rid of the completely unnecessary need to set up your retainer bazaar in a crowded loosely defined room that may actually be full so that you have to set your retainer up in another, but less crowded loosely defined room so that you end up getting taxed more on your stuff - since it is now, officially, entirely unnecessary when can you just buy from the creepy AH dark alley and only serves to draw out and complicate what should be a very simple process.

Some of us were FOR a completely separate AH feature so that the MW feature that people seemed to love may be preserved.

Who is changing who's tune? Did you see a single thread on here having a moo cow about the feature when it was announced? No, because no one (to my knowledge) was against it to begin with.

The people making a big deal are still the people who made the MW a big deal in the first place. You have a quick feature now, please let it rest.

I'm just getting a good laugh out of the OP, and you guys getting all defensive because you know that you're going to use a feature that you thought was "unnecessary".

No, I'm not mad. Nor am I a "he". Nor am I going to use said feature. I'm a bit serious about it, yes. I don't have a lot of tolerance for adolescent behavior. Laugh all you like, grow up when you're ready.

Btw, I love the expression on Harrison Ford's face in that pic.

Most of the people who were for the MW said to do this, smart aleck. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was our idea. You can thank us with bottom prices and sales.
