Please Implement a standard Auction House

Bump to the max! An interface where you can both buy and sell with out having to jump between a market board and a retainer npc would be amazing.

god so many steps just to put some thing up on the market.... I hated this in 1.0 and its the same thing... all they added was a history list

First world problems. Someone has to take a few more seconds and the whole thing sucks. This doesn't include just FF14 either.

When I am accessing my retainer, I go the easy road and go to an inn and get yourself a room. There is a summoning bell right by the door where you want to leave. When putting the item into your retainer to sell on the markets, there is a market check button in the bottom right? of the user interface. That will allow you to check the prices of the item.

My only thing is buying stuff. I'm not really into selling yet, and I probably wont be until I get a gathering class. But buying is so annoying Because the highest accessible level gear is never one there. I wish I could put in an offer for something, so that if someone wants to sell a certain item, and my offer is high enough I'd automatically buy it. The gil could leave pretransaction and everything.

The market system is pretty straightforward. People don't like dealing with complex markets and that's understandable, but a straight auction house for everything is a step backwards. Usually those imply a cost for just listing something, which usually strangles ingame economies. Items with lower demand never see the light of day in those systems. If there was an aux. auction house, as for selling off rare or very powerful HQ items, it could add a certain amount of interest towards both sellers and buyers. Replacing the system we have already, though, would just prove detrimental.

I like the current system.

After playing other MMOs, I swear to god if I see a stack of what I need without a buyout price attached again...

Auctions shouldn't be necessary as we can actively check the market history of the items we're trying to sell. If you can't set a price for your stuff with all of the granted tools, then the system isn't the problem here.

While it is easy and straightforward, it is somewhat cumbersome.

The good old days of spamming different areas in 1.0 of trying to find a spot for your retainer to sell things. That was AWFUL! lol

Would be nice to at least have a market board in your inn room And be able to craft in your in room. Retainer lag is vastly reduced inside your inn room(which I assume is a separate instance). That would also cut down on the player crowds surrounding the bell and market board out in the world further reducing overcrowding lag in those areas.

The market system is pretty awful, there are far better systems on free to play games.

You can't preview armour / weapons.

You can't see current going prices when listing something for sale.

The item search is awkward to use and limited.

Need to click multiple tiles just to sell 1 item, most games you just right click to enter the item for sale.


Overall it's the worst auction/market I've seen in any mmorpg to be honest.
