HQ Hunting and Market Flood

[Enma]

Hi, I'd like to point out the effect of new high-level recipes on the economy. I personally like very much this new difficult crafts and the time you have to spend on them, but I also noted the collateral effect those had on market. The drop rate for HQ materials probably is quite right, but on the other hand tons of NQ materials have been gathered and put aside.

- Darksteel Ore NQ
- Gold Ore NQ
- Spruce Log NQ
- ...

At the side of them there are other materials such as Flax, Iron Ore, that had flooded the market. (70+ sales)
For these reasons I think that something should be done as soon as possibile. For example new Provisioning Mission, Hamlet Defense, or a new original idea by Dev Team.

Thank you for reading. (and sorry for my english )

I'm not seeing the problem.

I just really, really want them to fix the MW UI or scrap MW in general and get a good player-to-player trade system.

Don't think we'll be seeing a lot of improvement until 2.0 though.

With 20 or more items for sale on the MW, the +1's don't show up in the search list anymore.

There's also a crap ton of retainers that are just taking up space and not selling anything that's really useful for people, and there is a very real and very low limit on how many retainers the MW supports.

Oh, I thought it was a supply/demand/price thing at first. I agree, the +1's being pushed off the list is completely nuts for sellers and buyers. I don't know why I was expecting +1s to have their own entry in the lists after this long, but that's shame on me.

If the Ul'dah wards are full start using the other towns...not like they are hard to check either. In fact I find that my HQ spruce sells much faster in Gridania mainly due to it not being flooded with NQ results.

Sure, you can do that.

I'm just saying what we have now is totally not good. It's only a lick above functional and there's just inconvenience setting s**t up elsewhere for everyone involved.

I blame retainers.


Why are retainers even still in game? they were a money making gimmick as a substitute to mules/alts with an even bigger gimmick to give off the illusion that they matter to the game and economy and now I don't think the DEV team even remembers the whole level up your retainer idea.

Just scrap them and give us a proper market/bank/mail service already!

Of course but I'm assuming that this is the best they could do with the FFXIV scotch tape servers of 1.0. Now if we have these issues in 2.0....

When they implemented the function to type in what you are looking for they should have just allowed you to type in +1 and search for HQ mats that way. How hard would it be?

Makes too much sense to do that I guess.....
