We need an AH

[GreyWolf]

You want convenience over the actual home grown look of a marketing community? Go play Crystal Defenders. Not all of us want to stare blankly at a wall for hours.

I don't ever recall standing infront of FFXI's AH for hours >.>; normally I would go buy my stuff and leave, the only real time sink was waiting for the lag in jeuno/whitegate

I'd prefer convenience too I don't have the extra time to be wasting

If you were trying to get certain items that fluctuated price hugely no matter what the supply/demand was because of Market Manipulation going on with the price history was easy to manipulate you could end up spending up to an hour trying to buy one item because the price was so drastically different And going from trying to get a item that says its worth 5K based on the price history you end up bidding over and over again at 1k increments till you end up buying it for almost 50k. Each bid taking 10-20 seconds because of lag not to mention the time spent going back into the price history over and over again to confirm that hell. the last 10 were bought for 5k yeah and theres 10 in stock, but every time you bid it comes back sorry your bid failed.

I spent an hour doing this one day. I barely had time to play the game afterwards I was stuck bidding on items that the prices were jacked up on.

Mog houses did more then house a moogle, and your mail box.

Yeah, bring the mog houses. Bring more useless frivolous stuff and leave the same broken systems in the game. That will surely win back players.

No one is asking for a moghouse right this minute. Everyone is aware there is a lot to fix in this game, hence the discussions. The whole moghouse discussion just kind of went off on its own from one little aside I made in an earlier post.

If we get housing, they're not going to be mog houses. The lore makes that a complete non-possibility. So you should get used to just calling them houses.

Sorry for the double post but.......... I really love the fact that this is such a big issue both for people for and against MWs, and yet I have not seen a Mod comment to any of these threads about this. This thread alone is up to page 27, and there are other threads dealing with this subject. I have seen Mods comment on threads with many fewer posts. So mods will comment on ridiculous and competely irrelevent things like custom UI modifaction, but not on game mechanics. It just seems to me that they should comment on real issues, before they bother with fluff.

Like my other post about the convenience of repairs, this post is in regards to the conveniece of buying and selling goods. But I will make this one short.

Suppose I want a Dr. Pepper, which would be quicker:
1. I go to the store and get it.
2. I send my wife to go get it (nevermind that she'd tell me to go to hell).

I am keeping the argument simple. Its not about how good or bad the market place opperates. It is about convenience to useres. The less steps there are the more streamlined and fast the process. Time is money, and I don't have time to do unnecessary steps. Why make something take 5 min, when it could take 5 sec?

MMOs are by nature a time sink, but lets cut out the time sinks where we can yes?

O my frick.... no we do not OP. the Market ward will destroy any attempt of gil sellers ruling the market prices. After a while, we will know exactly who's retainers are gil sellers and simply wont buy off them. AH doesnt allow that, get over it. And yes my life sucks, i have idiots in my MMOs :P

Please tell me how we wouldn't know which vendor isn't a gilseller if we're using an AH.

Or do you think that the only type of AH in existence is FFXI's blind bid/vendor AH?

Just add a friggin auction house SE, the people who don't want one are just fools >.<
