We need an AH

[Physic]

With the search star system the way it is no one looks at the retainers playing dress up because nobody cares. And you're right about the real world equivalent thing, the fact that there's not real life equivalent of giant yellow birds that we can ride around is also the reason they didn't put chocobos in. You might say but what about magic, well to that I'll invite you to my place so I can show you a few spells you can do in real life. I can for example Raise someone from the dead, or light someone's hair on fire...really cool stuff.

the point is the game is trying to simulate buying and selling just as much as it trying to simulate spells.

apply the same logic for buying and selling that you have to using skills

yeah and a game that simulates spells could just have you click fire, and then tell you in chat log what your damage is, it would be way faster to level, and you wouldnt have to wait 5 seconds to do a fire spell.

Yeah and the giant yellow birds could instantly just put you where you want to go, but why do i get the feeling very few people actually want to do that.

because its not fun, its not entertaining, it makes the game seem more cheesy for some of the player base.

just because you dont give a crap and want your items instantly doesnt mean its the best thing. like i said there are people who want to play all sorts of market games, it costs you 30 seconds. I would consider the run speed of this game way more of timesink than all of the marketwarding you will do in your entire life as a player.

If you want to think of an AH, think of an AH that actually makes the game better and works with systems present to create a better experience, dont just limit it to, yeah this makes ME feel better


That said if they do add an AH it would have to have a hefty tax, it has to be more expensive than bazaaring or marketing, and would also have to have that risk of loss, which they had in FFXI. so yeah whatever is clever.
