Yes, please.

Having seperate AH's in XI did not work, just as it's not working here. Merge the Wards / new AH to be cross-city.

Trade channel in WoW was a bit crazy but, that said, it had its uses (as long as players can turn it off), so I do agree that a global channel across all cities is also VERY useful for letting people go wherever they cloose.

I think SE needs to think up other incentives for players to stick to other cities, though. An example being that if you belong to a Grand Company from Gridania, perhaps you would accrue rested exp by just being in the city and not just having to be in the inn, or allowing you to ride your chocobo in the city limits. Etc, etc. Both ideas might "not be possible" with the current engine and server, especially the former as I'm not sure how the code would react to gaining exp from a craft while rested was being added.

But the point of the matter is give us ways to interact with all cities from any city, and give us more reasons to go to other cities.

I do do my part, btw; homepoints been in Limsa for awhile now.
