Final things THAT NEED to be in this game

[Kafeen]

Price History

Could (and should) be added to the market wards search interface. Although I'd like to see it done with a visual graph of highest, lowest and average price over the last several months rather than a list of the last 10 transaction FFXI style. It'll be much harder for RMT companies to manipulate prices this way.

Access

Not really sure what you mean by this. Are Market wards hard to access?

Builds community

How? The current system forces a more direct approach with a player's retainer. With FFXI's AH system, you didn't even know who you were buying from. Also, because you know who you're buying from, known RMT can be avoided.

More options

Improved search and filter options could (and again, should) be added to the market wards search interface. In some ways the Market Wards system already allows for more options. Only being able to sell a single item or a full stack in FFXI was a pain. FFXIV allows many items to be sold individually or any size of stack to be sold as a group. This is much for flexible than the old system in FFXI.

Speedy transaction
No Zoning

Only speeding things up by a few seconds. I would like the ability to buy from the Market place search menu though. Running to the NPC does seem like an excessive step.

What I'd like to see done with it is:

• Market Ward is 1 single zone, not a different zone per ward.
• Different categories of items are sold at different counters. This stops everyone being crowded around a single point.
• Player names rather than retainers are listed for who is selling the item.
• Price history is displayed showing price change over several months as I mentioned earlier in the post.
• Similar interface to the the market wards search is used, with addition options for sorting and filtering listed items.
• Previews of item stats are displayed when browsing the menu.

I'm not saying you know who the owner is, but if a retainer is spotted dealing strangely, price hiking etc, then their name can spead, just as if it was a player character.

If you look further down the post, I do say that I'd like to see player names linked to good being sold rather than doing everything through retainers anyway.

Was there anything else you didn't think made sense?
