[Request] Merge Mercantile Houses

[Jinko]

But they did in 1.19!

[dev1181] Retainer bazaars in market areas are now subject to a time limit.

• Maximum duration: 7 days (168 hours, Earth time)
  * Those leasing stands are exempt from the above time limit.
• Updating bazaar information resets your duration to 7 days (168 hours, Earth time).
• Retainers who have exceeded the time limit will automatically return home.

What would be handy is if retainers where places randomly throughout the three city states, for example a player could send their retainer to the Masons ward but not choose an actual city, the server would determine the best place based on retainer population and it would solve the issue of everyone congregating in one spot and clogging up one cities wards in particular.

Take a look at the post below and feel free to pass it on to the dev team lol <3

This retainer ward thing is so bad ; ; I don't know whats the worst part...the server lag or the fact I can't look up an item while selling it. :/

Hmm... Seems my retainers finally got kicked. I wonder what the deal was...

One word.... Broken. I'm sorry dev team, but your commerce system is a complete failure. Starting day one, buying/selling has been an unrelenting chore. I hope you all realize how many people quit the game in the beginning simply based on the poor commerce system. A couple of things that really stand out...

1. The fact that a large number of players are unable to sell their stuff because the Uldah wards are full. I personally have not been able to get a retainer in Uldah over the past three weeks. Furthermore, 90+% of players don't even check the Limsa Lominsa or Gridania Mercantile Houses. Those of us not fortunate enough to have a Uldah retainer are screwed. I personally have a few million left before I'm out of gil. If I'm unable to get a retainer in Uldah before that runs out then I will be forced to quit because the tens of millions worth of materia, gear, materials sitting on my retainer are worthless without buyers.

2. Search results only show the 10 lowest priced of a given item. The most popular materia will have between 30-100 selling at any given time, so the 10 lowest priced will be the lowest quality. This means that we have to resort back to running through the wards checking each retainer if we want to buy a high quality version (ie INT IV +20). Oh and for those of us without retainers in Uldah means we are probably in LL or Grid. Sucks for us!! Because we would have to teleport to Uldah just to see what those higher quality materia cost.

Final question.... What was wrong with FFXI's Auction House?

[Skies]

Doesn't it have blind bidding? Never played XI but if it does, then that's what's wrong with it.

We want this.
Yoshi wants this.
But it won't happen till 2.0 cause the servers can't handle it.

9.99 x 50 = 500 bucks from 50 of us. Now times that by 30 servers thats 15 grand a month they probabley lose. Not much money considering low poor ideas. Maybe it would be worth while to speed this up some before they lose alot of good players that pay each month. >< bout tired of npc my stuff just so i can go out and kill mobs for more loot. Id say your heading in the wrong direction if its going to take 2.0 to fix this issue. Id say alot of players are on D3 now hows there auction house going? I haven't tried it due to be a dedicated player to a game. And can i say wow. How many players are gone now? We are having problems with player population already on raids and stuff and having to shout for 2-3 peoples just to raid now ;/ I'd say the content is heading downhill. Going to try another game i guess til 2.0

Just my 2 cents ^^
