SUGGESTION: ONE WARD THREE NPC's (NOT 3 WARDS)

[Haru]

I have made a thread here: One Ward THREE NPC's

Which basically states the need to abolish the current three ward system in favor of a single ward with three NPC's

Please go look at it and voice your support! Thank you!

EDIT: Please don't forget to post on the thread made above as this is where the look for suggestions

I like this idea. Maybe have 3 rep counters for searching each city and then one set of merchants as well. I'd honestly like to see it go further and allow being able to send your retainer to any ward from any of the cities even if it is for a fee.

You can already send retainer to any city/ward from the bell. That lovely feature was added in the last patch
Send Retainer to ward > City > Sub Category

Eg > Limsa > Grocers

Oh I must have missed that but that is great to hear.

This feature is almost useless for selling anything as if you try to send to an Ul'dah ward, your retainer just bounces back. Why send it to an Ul'dah ward? Because people are still too stubborn not to use that as the primary market.

Agreed. One Merchantile Ward, 3 NPCs.

This line in the patch note :

While you are inside a mercantile house, your current location in player search will appear as the associated city-state. The same applies when you log out of the game while inside a mercantile house.

It implies that, to have access to a market, we need to be in the corresponding town, so we can't have access to the 3 markets from one unique area.

The server cannot handle it. They're doing the best they can with the current server architecture, but it just can't be done.

I'll leave you with this:

They are using the new servers or so Yoshi said on the JP forum, they are still bottlenecked with the old code though, they "could" rewrite some of that code to make it possible to do what the OP suggested, but seeing as we are close to 2.0 now there is no point in wasting time on doing so.

They already said they planned on something similar (access all city wards from any location) but they weren't able to on this current version, so it's already a feature they planned and working on.
