We need an AH

[neizero]

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.

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.
