We need an AH

[Tonka]

Lol at making WoW's AH seem like more of a hassle than FFXIV's Market Wards. That is someone you just don't bother to argue with.

It's RIGHT THERE... I go to MW, search an item, it even lists it by lowest price. How much harder would it be to just click on that and say 'buy'. Seriously, it's not hard. Fumbling through dozens of NPC's standing there slowly popping in on my screen is in my opinion retarded.

The the originator of this post (Even though it's old); I agree. An AH though not 'required' would be a wonderful addition to the game. Don't need to go through all the crap we did on FFXI, just see the list of wares by lowest price and click on the one we want to buy it from. Done.

To the folks that don't agree, arguing that the MW is better; you're entitled to your opinion just as we are. I see your side of it, and understand it. I just simply don't agree.

To SE (not that they'll read this): Is it really to much to ask?

Most people are saying MW and AH are basically the same system -- MW need only adjustments. If they scrap it and put in place an AH they're wasting time and resources compared to if they just adjust what exists now.

I know, I actually laughed out loud when I saw Cair's desperate attempt to make the AH system seem like any kind of hassle compared to the horrendous ward setup we have.

I had a friend play a bit of XIV with me a while back, it was all going relatively well (he didn't like a lot of things as we all do, but was happy to overlook them for the character and relatively interesting world the game has) until we got to the wards. He was baffled by how awful it was when all he wanted to do was replace his sword. That pretty much killed it, although he said he'd give the game another try when they sort it out.

I don't think he's alone in that kind of mentality, it just drains the fun out of the game because instead of doing things you'd like to you have to go round dark little rooms looking for NPCs to buy from.

We do not need an AH... I'm so tired of this argument.

[Jennestia]

Both systems get the job done so there's no "need" for one.

You people seem to be confusing my OP. I see a lot of what ifs and the Market System works................ FFXIs AH put it directly in your inventory and Cairdeas while I love your repair kit idea, I think your either over-exagerating your expeience with the AH systems, or being overly-defensive of the Market System. An AH system is clearly faster, don't kid yourself.

I'll restate it clearly: It is not about how good or bad the market system is, but it is about convenience.

As Jynx mentioned there is the walking time and there is also the loading time. So yes the current system works, but it is not faster than an AH if you know what you are looking for. Now if you prefer the Market system for some specific reason like your a RPer or something. I wouldn't agree with you, but at least it would be the truth and not an obvious falsification of the facts.

As for focusing on other things right now, I agree ther are more important issues, BUT I would still like it after the major fixes have taken place.

The Market wards are.... ok i guess.

The problem i and a lot of people have with them is their just like an AH with added hassle, whats the point?

I think they will do for now as the devs have more important things to worry about at the moment but an FFXI style AH should really have been added from the start. It provides a good meeting place too.
