We need an AH

[Cairdeas]

We all know what kind of AH we're talking about.

My point was that I have yet to see any one say the reason they WANT an auction house is because they want Auctions. Instead they complain of Time and Convenience.

Yep, when people say "GIMME AH!" They definitely don't mean a real one like say FFIX.

Which is why I ask them to explain what features from the Auction House they are missing. They never once mention Blind or Timed Bidding. they mention Time and Convenience items.

They also refuse to make suggestions about how the Market Wards could be improved to remedy the issues they have.

Unlike the people who like the Market Wards who continue to strive to accommodate people who claim they want an auction house.

Maybe because "they" don't want it remedied but scraped completely?

they basically want a glorified NPC shop that sells everything in the game.

Oh, is that what "they" want. Lol, OK

Seriously?! So what? I don't want an e-bay-XIV where I have to wait tens of minutes to make sure I can buy the item I want.

I want to play the GAME dammit!

Yes, YES it's about time and convenience and the market wards don't provide neither! I hate it so much that even if they fixed it to be like a real AH I'd still hate it because of just the name reminds me of the horrible mess it has been. I hate everything about it. The zoning, loading, zombie seller, the hassle, the guesswork pricing and the fact that it's so retarded.

I'm sorry you can't be helped then. :/

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nd-Convenience. fixes everything people complain about the MW. Auctions are arbitrary and time consuming so an Auction house would be just as bad as the MW is now.

Do us all a favor and never ever work in UI design:

1. Whatever you're saying ignores the fact that zoning to the wards is one of the biggest problems in the wards. (basically that they exist)

2.This actually a handy feature to have and is present in most AHs in MMOs

3.Yay not needed pop up windows! No, just no.

4. Stuff needs to be in the AH clean and simple I've got enough to worry about in my own inventory to worry about the status and location of my retainers is too much and counter productive to your whole idea's title. Also see #1.

5. See above.

6. A horrible idea an AH can gather people at certain locations and gives the world the feeling that it's alive. Like Jeuno. Imagine if nobody went to Jeuno to use an AH. *tumbleweed*

Again. I made suggestions you just shoot them down and do not supply your own. Which is a problem with this argument. People for the Wards are trying to make them better. People against them just scream "AH NOW"

What is it about "AH NOW!" that you don't get? People want an AH that is the suggestion there's zero reason to "brainstorm" the issue.

No one said why. No one explains what specific AH system they want. No one is considering the fact it will DISTRACT FROM WORK INSTEAD OF JUST WORKING ON THE ALREADY EXISTING SYSTEM.

We don't need an AH, besides the only reason people want one is because other MMOs use it, yet people seem to dislike anyone wanting this game to be like say FFXI or any past FF games.

This is why the game is best left to the developers to make.
