I never knew that 1.0 had the market ward thing. It sounds cool, but I can see why it wouldn't work as well as what we have now.

I would much rather utilize our retainers in this process, rather than have players actually AFK in the middle of a hub town to sell stuff. The problem is you're never going to make anything more convenient than just walking up to a market board and buying something. Anything you design is going to be used as an alternative to the existing market board for a more immersive, yet cumbersome experience. Probably by RPers and the like.

I would say that the most useful thing they could do with this idea is let us better use our housing plots as shops. We can set up a retainer, but only outside for some reason, and only a few of them at a time.
