We need an AH

[Tsuga]

Okay I like WARDs they are fine...we don't need AH...YOSHIDA PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON AN AH...there are more important things to work on.

Seriously, why do you need an AH anyways? If people aren't pretty much making all your gear for free within your linkshell I would suggest either change how your linkshell works or find a new one...most every linkshell I've been in, I just ask a crafter drop some mats off and poof there's my item.

Not everyone has this luxury.

Also the game needs a functioning economy, and the economy can't function if users don't know how to buy their wares, or are completely frustrated by the process of buying wares to the point of not buying any wares.

The game also cannot function if people can't sell their wares. The equipment wards are ALWAYS full, and it is impossible to set a retainer up in them.

The Wards are flawed. You say you like them, but from your post it sounds like you're telling people to just bypass using them all together. You're only further solidifying the argument that they are a hassle to deal with.

You guys should check out the forum gameplay- market wards and retainers and read what the developers are suggesting. Sounds a lot better than the market wards we have now

link? I looked but didn't see anything from any SE reps there.

You know what would be hilarious? If the Devs left the market wards exactly as is...and renamed them to 'Auction House'. /evil

well ofcourse auction house is way better then MW, but i still prefer MW. so.. i say no. I want something different that doesnt take me more than 3 hours spend on shopping.

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?

They just need to let us buy straight from the item search counter. That changes nothing about the system except the completely useless time it takes to physically walk to the selling retainer.

Lindblum is having ridiculous market ward issues after this patch are others servers having the same problem?

It must have crashed about 10 times today, half the time the search window doesn't show anything and the retainers are constantly being reset.

SE really need to call it a day with the market wards they just aren;t working, I duno if this has been created by an influx in returning players or its just coincedence but come on SE just give us an AH already.

yea this game needs a real ah. i like the retainer idea tho, they should make it so u can set it up anywhere u want in town and, and make the ah work off of them but make it so u dont have to accual find the retainer to get, this would be nice quality of life upgrade to getting stuck in mw cuzz of the 100s of npc that are all bunched in same area.

none of this realy matter tho they cant make a ah sytem till they make a mailing system.

A question to ask yourself, OP, is that if both systems work only one is more convenient (slightly) than the other, why are we wasting the developers time and resources to implement an entirely new system when they could be working on the things this game actually still needs - like, idk, a delivery service, a message service, a way to moderate your Linkshell without standing on top of someone that needs to be moderated?

Here's where you tell me that there's different teams like that magics up some people to work on a redundant system. I don't want any resources wasted on redundancy. It's just something that any "different" team could be working on something else rather than creating a system that already "works" as you say.

I wish people would get over this. Pretty soon the devs are going to actually do it and then I'll be waiting another 12 months for a handful of dungeons or something. But hey maybe they'll tweak the size of mobs and spells in the meantime to give the illusion of actually changing something.

I give you the right to your opinion and agree that what you want is ever-so-slightly more convenient, but we have what we have and I'm ok with it. Let's focus on things we don't have and actually want or need.

I'd sacrifice toto, darkhold and ifrit, MAYBE EVEN CHOCOBOS for a market system that works. Trying to fix this game without having an economy in place for players to trade between themselves is like trying to build a building on a bad foundation.
