Please Implement a standard Auction House

Why can't we just rightclick "Sell Item" from our inventory when we're at the market window?
It's a completely needless step to give it to the retainer.
Also, you can't check prices when you're in your retainer's window. You have to be at the Market board to do that.

If people really like a cumbersome system, they're mental.

You actually can do this, you can also check prices from the retainer, I think you need to spend some more time with your retainers or re-read the help/tutorial.

SE there is no reason to have two options to sell items from your retainer and your inventory when you can do both from one selection. (maybe this is a PS3 limitation, but it doesn't need to be enforced on PC's also)

The marketboard itself needs to have it's search function improved, honestly someone with a year of regex could probably improve the search in about 2 hours.
Now to the retainer system. They function as both a bank and market broker essentially.
It has a few extra annoyances that aren't needed imo.
1) Let players pick say a head retainer so you can have all items in retainer storage, Marketboard, and gil storage shown.
2) Increase market posting to something like 50 per retainer or let players pay a fee to purchase extra retainers. 40 market slots is nothing for players that like to craft and sell stuff. I'd honestly like no limit but meh I can compromise.
3) Merge retainer options. There is no need for there to be so many different options. Though this is minor issue and can be worked around by just using the retainer marketboard option and opening player inventory. It is still rather annoying.

...cont(1000 character limit is also annoying. cant actually post anything sizable.)
Now one thing that ff14 marketboard has that is absolutely amazing imo is the market history. I do wish it saved more transactions but that is likely a server storage issue or something. But either way the market history lets you know how faster the item is moving in the economy. Like maybe only 3 of this item sells a day so you know it might take time to sell unlike an item that sells 300 a day.

The current marketboard and retainer system is a great work in progress and I look forward to seeing SE build on it and finish up the parts that on it that are clearly not finished.

Would be nice if I don't have to click 8 times to adjust the price of every item. Some UI changes would be much apreciated.

I agree. I am aware that you can view sales history from your retainer, and I still agree with op very much so.

I hate the market as well. A standard auction in other mmorgs was already perfected why over complicate things needlessly. Over complicate stats and ways to build characters but an auction house... really.
