6months and no AH?!

VydarrTyr ironic how you are busting everyone's balls in the "Buffs that last a bit longer" thread and yet you want "Anima that lasts a bit longer"

Your happy to make mages lives a misery (because you don't play one) yet when it comes to your own hardship you have a completely different opinion, a bit hypocritical if you ask me.

Hmm... interesting how the AH thread became the Anima thread.

Anima's fine IMO. I hardly have any and I'm a low'be too. Depends what your doing. I wanted to explore, then show the wife all the areas; presto... low anima and because I'm jumping around cities it's staying at a constant 20ish. When I have time, I run. When I want to get a crafting buff from a guild and I'm in a hurry I teleport.

Granted, I liked the BLK teleporting method in FFXI better. Just seemed to add more MMO to the game.

Something I'm not sure about thou... it's been awhile; is it longer to run from windurst to bastok to sandoria, than it is to travel from the three main cities in this game? Heck, is it longer to run to jeuno from a city in FFXI than running in between any of the FFXIV cities? Just feels like this game is smaller, but that could be my memory and the lack of zoning in this game. But I remember when I started FFXI it took FOREVER to get to the dunes.

Wow, Jinko. You tracked me down from another thread to continue trolling me? Didn't get enough of it in the last thread? I'm almost flattered.

First of all, I do play a mage. In fact, my Thm is about 27 ranks higher than yours. But I wouldn't expect facts to keep you from banging your spoon on your highchair.

And no, I wasn't busting anyone's balls in the other thread. In fact, I was doing the opposite. You'll notice that I haven't posted in that thread in a while, thinking the matter was resolved. Apparently you were disappointed when I stopped responding to your childish provocations, so you've emerged from under your bridge to run around and try to scare the children.

And by the way, really nice logical leap there. If I want "anima that lasts a little bit longer" (Oh, how clever!), then I am required to want everything in the game to last longer. Except, ya know, that doesn't make any sense.

If you've got something to add to the discussion, feel free to stick around. But if you're just here to troll me for having the audacity to disagree with you on some minor point, then I doubt anyone wants to read that. I know I don't.

...wait....where am I? X.x

Anyway, to contribute a little bit more to the thread’s derailment, I'll be fine with anima as is, or even lowering it or slowing it's regen rate, once new modes of transportation arrive. Since walking and teleporting are our only means of transportation at the moment, it wouldn't hurt my feelings any to have it a bit more readily available. At the moment, I travel the least amount possible. Hell, it's a busy day from me if I port from a camp, to the city, back to a camp. I basically just sit and camp behests, now, 'cause it's easier to just sit and wait 15-20 minutes between behests than teleport/walk between camps and cities.

Granted, I'm casual as hell, so I like being able to play a PS3 or 360 game while I'm waiting for behests to pop. Hella multitasking.

I've heard a great many people comment that the retainers impersonate zombies and seem lifeless. I for one think this is a great idea. If anything they aren't zombie like enough. I would love to have a retainer that just stands there groaning and eying your brain as you buy things from him. It might even be better if they slowly lurch towards you as you're walking through the wards with that hungry look in their eyes. Also if they looked undead (not the cheap FF version that are just black character models, that's lazy), that would be great.

Commerce is far more interesting when you have to conduct your transactions under the impending threat of being eaten by the undead.

Please SE more zombies.

XD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I think this might have been my fault. I apologize for the derail. I'll shut up now.

I play a mage, I didn't want them to be 30mins, but I think 10 mins scaling with the number like if you receive Protect II, it lasts longer and is better (20mins or so, Protect being base 10 mins)

I hate Anima, not really its great, but I hate the landscape and so it eats up my anima, I only have my hermes shoes once a day for 30 mins so after that its walk in dreary crap or tele :/ I'm so torn , without the addition of transport vehicles I really can't say what I would do to fix this system. A lot of it is opinion on my part to about the landscape, but others wouldn't walk anyway lol.

@AngryNixon

I seem to have misinterpreted m(_ _)m, my apologies. i've seen quite too many anti-AH posts I guess and took this to be another. It just really doesn't make any sense to me how a Market Ward would be overall any better than an Auction house. it perplexes me really.... I used to be a long time FFXI player and was hoping this would be a FFXI-2 sort of speak and was extremely disappointed with what has turned up.

PS the only arguement about the Auction houses in FFXI is that they were always too closely placed together... I mean there was always a lot of people in the area that it's kinda hard to move around in having to run into other players all the time. I've yet to see any valid arguments myself though.

NP Greywolf, it's all good. And yes, more spaced out access points is a definitely a solid idea.

im glad the pro MW people failed to get the upper hand in this thread.
read it all so far and it was great fun to read. So much more fun then playing the game atm imho.
/clap @ AngryNixon (made my day, awesome fun posts)

Seriously make it happen already. I haven't bought new gear in 3 months just because I don't want to deal with that instance copy paste room hell. The search made things a bit easier but it's just a band aid over a completely non functional system. Most items aren't for sale because most people have given up on it ever functioning.

AH needs to be quick, require no loading to another zone and it needs price histories to make selling and buying things more convenient. Currently there is no economy to speak of.

Is it that hard? I find everything I need in a few seconds... Yes it needs work, but in one or two more features added it would be what everyone calls an AH, which really isn't an AH at all...

I say, allow us to search by category and save a true AH for later, and one that players bid on items and find out who wins once the auction expires.
