Go stand in one of the popular markets and spam your summon retainer button until someone brings their out to check it. Works for me every time after a few minutes during peak times.

2 other cities no where near full, time to start utilizing them even more. They do disappear when it's empty and unchecked for a week, SE USED to reset wards after x period of time, but not anymore cuz people complained they couldn't sell anything.
You know. . . That could work pretty well, give people a bigger tax-break if they used the ward that corresponded to the nation they were allied with.
It'd make it smoother if you could search all 3 wards from one mercantile house too instead of it being like "Check price/zone/check price/zone/check price/zone/buy item"
Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means
Yup, it would have been so much easier if that could happen. But people in XIV don't like to spend an extra 5 seconds to go to the other market house lol.You know. . .

What they did so far (in essense) was great. But the community is what kills it... much like the search system.
Yes, you should be able to search and buy from all three towns without having to zone in and out of mercantile houses. That alone would help immensely. As it is, only Uldah is worth selling in because that's all anyone searches.
You just told us that you spent a week trying to get your retainer in Ul'dah. You can't really talk poorly of the community when you do the exact thing they do.
What needs to happen, is have the markets work the way the auction house worked in XI. You pay the tax up front, which would prevent people from placing stuff up for max gil, and it's up for a maximum of 7 days. There is no reason why this stuff stays up indefinitely.
That's all YOU search.
I seach Limsa first and Gridania second.
You know the system sucks, they have said they can't fix it yet, if you pay attention to the signs you will SEE how goddamn obnoxious and retarded this game's inner core programming must be. But we as players can heavily alleviate this issues.
Start helping the change, don't check the Ul'Dah wards first, check them last and on if it really fails, give incentive to the markets elsewhere. Don't try to station both of you retainers on Ul'Dah, put one elsewhere! Put some stuff that people actually wants to sell in there!
Start making a goddamn difference, after you have done your part as a player, then you can complain. We know the system is retarded, the devs know the system is retarded, so let's do what we can.
what I dislike is that +1 mats dont show on the list if there are 20 cheaper NQ items, does the search box allow you to search for +1 mats only?
I was just about to say the same thing. They could even go as far as [don't hate me just yet] flat out restricted selling outside of your home nation. Everyone could still browse via mercantile houses and it would split up traffic significantly.You know. . .

But all this aside, HOPEFULLY a real auction house is in the works for 2.0. No need to re-invent the wheel here. Just give us something that works.

I wouldn't mind that restriction either, it'd be nice especially if they allowed searching all 3 sets of wards from one mercantile house!I was just about to say the same thing.
