Ward is ok... but it needs improving. FFXI didn't have universal AH you had to travel to different cities to get the cheapest item. But when AH came out in FFXI it was revolutionary at the time. Press forward 8 years. There are ton of MMO with good AH system. IF SE wants to push forward with WARD they should improve couple things.

1) Stop making it crashing --;
2) Put an actual search function where you can search item with "keywords" instead of looking up "index"
3) Put price history and make search function list all the current item price from all 3 cities
4) Retainer should be able to sell more than 10 items
