Poll: Yea This Again...

Do you want an AH?

(i.e., all features aside, would you rather purchase your needs at a counter, or run and port from ward to ward? Assume everything you can do in an AH you can do in a MW - things such as seeking repairs, etc.)

YES


NO

..and in light of new feedback, please explain why or why not, because apparently I`m not allowed to respond to peoples`responses unless I have this as a disclaimer. I hope this pleases everyone now. And P.S. your opinion is yours, please don`t take it personally if I disagree with it and just know that I am only talking for the sake of giving and taking ideas and making conversation. I in no way, shape or form intend you harm you, your family or your egos in this thread and if you have any concerns please don`t share them with me.

NO

You have to be more specific. Do you want item searching? Do you want purchasing from a single AH throughout an entire world? Do you want items instantly sent to your inventory? There are multiple things that make an AH. With your vague question, I could argue we already have an AH.

[Cairdeas]

Nope. Because all the features that people are asking for from an AH can be implemented into the Market Wards without making it an auction house.

Its pretty much accepted that no one actually wants Blind or Timed Bidding so calling it an auction house because it has other shared features is irrelevant. Just implement those features, but do not add bidding.

Do you want an AH in the typical definition of what an AH has been for the last decade of MMOs, if you want to change that definition that is your problem not mine.

Ok lemme reword the question then...

[Maxi_Irving]

I'm not changing the definition. My point is that theres multiple things that make an AH. FFXI AH's is nothing like say, Aion's AH. There single similarity is the fact that you can directly search for items that you want, which we can already do in XIV. So what is it that YOU want?

[Corrderio]

Yes and No.

I want something as convenient as the AH with something that can be linked together to eliminate the need to be at UD to get anything, not having to run around to get while I want, and showing HQs. However I want something like the Wards since I like the UI/price lisitng. Personally, best of both worlds.

Here's an idea I picthed a few months back: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...et-system-idea
