New Market Ward Categories

Band-aid fix, or do you think anyone will actually follow them? Discuss.

I think it helps, but you still have to sift through endless bazaars to find a specific item. And you can still sell certain items in the "wrong" category.

Band aid fix or not, it's still a step in the right direction. Whether or not people will use it as intended will depend on the individual and what kind of "tax break" you will get for listing an item in the correct ward.

When they finally add a search option I think things will sort themselves out.

Band-aid fix. While this will help *somewhat* in finding what you're looking for, It still isn't nearly as effective as the AH system. They'd have to add more market ward rooms to come close to what the AH was in XI. Not to mention we're still going to have to navigate that laggy as hell area waiting for the retainers to become visible. I mean they could at least organize the retainers somehow, instead of laying them about haphazardly.

I wouldn't care how ugly the area looked, if everyone could set up stands (i.e add like 10x more stands) that would be awesome.

band-aid. I want a search function. this does nothing to solve the problem, of having to wander threw a room, checking 500 baazars, before you finally stumble upon the item your looking for.

I get what SE is trying to go for, but it just isn't working, and it makes finding gear WAY to time consuming.

To me, from the way the update was worded, they're trying to say "we know it sucks, we're working on it. Here's a temp fix."

From what I read, they are going to let you search for items in the specific wards with a search function. Then if someone is selling that item, you can just buy it.

It seems that you can search for a specific item and buy it, or go into the ward and just browse, like a more interactive AH.

Its a good idea , however the player adoption is what really makes the effort on their end worth it or not.

Based off of what I've seen, they just might as well name the first ward "Shit I should be NPCing" -- then suddenly everything will automatically be where it designed to be.
