Auction House vs Wards

[Vernam]

It was the players who stuck with the game, when it was at it's worst help shape the future changes of this game ... So now you come in making request for what you want when you are really in the minority of such matters.

Don't get too comfortable, new and returning players will be the majority when 2.0 launches, you will soon be the minority.

Don't think this company is burger king, have it your way.

Square Enix was very clear on how they operate back in 2010 when they often deleted thousands of posts in the beta forums that didn't agree with their own views, the amount of people that wanted the system replaced with an auction house was overwhelming.

They deleted posts like every other company delete posts during alpha/beta phases.

They said from the beginning they would be keeping the MW system and adding more functionality to it.

So yeah, don't let the door hit ya...

we're still using the Armory system (Tanaka's idea.)

So if XIV is a failed idea, why aren't they renaming it? This whole hate for Tanaka is pretty silly.

So you are acting like you haven't read anything that's been posted by the devs for the last 9 months?? XIV 1.XX was a brilliant idea right?
The armory system and market wards are two of the worst designs in mmo history. Unfortunatly they are keeping both. I hope for the best for V2 but I worry looking forward to how 1 weapon per class/job play out in the long run. The mws are a potentially decent idea, the implementation in V2 is worrying as they DID fail once already.

I just hope they get it right this time around as no one wants to deal with a broken economic system like this in 2.0

I have, I also read where Yoshi stated himself a lot of the updates we got even when he took over was stuff the previous (Tanaka) had in line for XIV, his work was starting around the Job system introduction and later.

Also no, they're not the worse design in MMO history because it was actually pretty innovative to not be locked to 1 Profession per Character. I don't agree with weapon = class for obvious reasons, but being able to do everything n 1 character is far from a bad idea unless you really do enjoy shitty MMOs.

The MWs were just lacking features (that they're adding and have been adding), otherwise it's not the idea, it is indeed the implementation.

Also does your sig have something to do with the fact that pluging your ears to the vocal majority won't actually change anything for you??

Meh.. the question is... why didn't they just implement a "Change Job" system instead of having your weapons dictate your class? Seems like they were just trying to be different from FFXI for difference sake... which isn't all that innovative to me... if you are simply trying to re-create the wheel... again... when we already have a functional change job system in FFXI, that easily can be transitioned here.

Well.... I hate to burst your bubble but... Most of the hate for tanaka stems from shitty implimentation of BOTH the armory system and the market wards.

I'm now lost as to why you disagreeded with me earlier on in this thread as we seem to have the same issues with the game

Don't get too comfortable, new and returning players will be the majority when 2.0 launches, you will soon be the minority.

And I am ok with that because that means I help shape the success of the game with new players, who have MW over AH. So SE would have accomplish their goals and vision for the game.

Square Enix was very clear on how they operate back in 2010 when they often deleted thousands of posts in the beta forums that didn't agree with their own views, the amount of people that wanted the system replaced with an auction house was overwhelming.

But you have nothing to back that with, which I viewed it differently. Which neither of us can prove. Argument close. There will be no AH. Stop whinning.

Basically, what's the point??? Anyone serious about making gil via public sales: Ul'dah wards is the ONLY place you want to put your retainer. IMO waste of developmental time, scrap the wards & retainers.

1.0 limitation

Centralize the market system into 1 market with global server access from major cities.

Already confirmed since month. But I hope you are not angry that it is still called Market Ward
