Global Markets

[Jynx]

I might not agreee with some people like Jynx who hate the idea of regional servers, but I at least basically understand where they come from.
But your "problem" makes no sense at all °-°

Oh no...I'm going to probably make another hate list.

To be honest a global market flows much smoother than a regional one. Your good are in higher demand, don't have a downtime on saleable hours.

If I make 200 ______ and Let's say on average 10 people buy my stuff during prime time, I'm abound to see at least 3 times that number of sales (Givin that the same number of people per region are interested) during each regions prime-time. You don't need to worry about putting your stuff up at the end of the day and expecting nothing to sell during the night.

This kind of stuff turns into alot of lost capital due to your good moldering on your retainer during the downtimes of your region.

If we are too have regional servers, there should be one global market ward. Servers will run into items getting crafted and sold in markets during that servers regions prime time. I just think one of the pros to global server is a global economy. Not an economy revolving around that servers regional prime time for sales. Yay i can play with my friends cross seas through content finder, that is good. But can i buy and sell wares with them in markets?

What makes the goods on any one server better than the goods on any other?

Each server has a healthy supply of goods, I don't see any need for this. Goods supplies easily weather peaks and lulls in activity- less stuff is created but also less stuff is sold. Everything stays in balance.

I'm not sure I understand your problem o_ô
Stuff is being sold 24/7 anyways, so who cares when exactly an item is created? It will be in the market wards/AH for 24 hours a day, it doesn't matter if it was created at 7 am or 10 pm...?

If 90% of the servers population only jumps on during that regions prime time, what is the probability of my wares selling during that servers down time.

Jynx said it well

No, 1 really big reason.. One server could in theory control the global market, circulating alot of gil into thier server while the other servers lag behind. eventually the market controllers of that server would have accumulated so much wealth for thier server that stuff will be extremely high in prices and affordable on thier side while blocking off much of the items being affordable to the other servers.. just my thought

You can always farm up or craft stuff and sell it for the same price, no matter what server you are on.

. It is just a bad idea, if it was a single world with everyone playing together it would be nice to have 1 centralized market.. but you just can't meld completely different worlds into one market. Some advance faster then others, this would only have serious negative impact and nothing really good out of it...

OMG guys. You don't understand.

I need global markets... The market wards are empty come 3 A.M. The only items to be had are on the bazaars of scrub crafters who didn't get a spot in the wards. I don't want to have to buy from them.

You totally have to listen. This is important.

Or just have a global server....

Guild Wars 2 does this. It sucks.
