Market wards, in their current form, still take too long to get basic tasks done compared to the standard AH system. To list items I have to: 1) run to the search function and look up market price; 2) run to the ward I wish to sell in; 3) call retainer; 4) place item in retainer bazaar. That's too much dilly dallying for something so simple, as Tifa would put it.

Same thing for buying - why not make it so we can just buy it from the search rather than have to run to the specific retainer for each item we wish to buy?

I know the new devs are trying to work with what is already in place but this is an integral part of an MMO and needs to not turn players off. Someone should shoot the previous devs for their horribad ideas, especially the whole retainer/market wards nonsense. Hopefully the new devs are working on the servers to allow for more changes to this system.
