Seriously fuck that city and it's lag.

ok so what city can we chill in now. Cause Im done with Uldah. I hated that city right from the start.

Everyone knows I would pick LL, but I think Grid might be the best choice since its where the Primal quests are refreshed.

i vote for limsa.

I bet you that there's still some sort of catch to this. Like you pay a premium to buy something listed in uldah from limsa or something. After they tacked on a charge to use the hyped up search engine I really don't trust SE when it comes to the wards

It will definately have a charge. I don't care though haha.

It will be hard to come to an agreement on a city. Some people hate LL some people hate Grid. I hate Uldah more than anything. It has an easy to navigate layout, but it's ugly and I'm sick of looking at it.

I am going to go with grid because leves are close and always need to go there for primal fights.

people still wont put retainers in grid or limsa wards i bet. this is good if you need to buy stuff from anywhere but i'm betting you'll have to still go to uld wards to manage your retainer

I'd much prefer they just merge them together into a single ward system. If people actually put stuff in the other wards, you'll be forced to "Item Search Counter" three separate times to check each one.

I'm hoping they eventually realise that making it possible to check all three from one town is just one more step away from unifying them into a single entity and make it so in 2.0. Better yet, just scrap the retainer bazaar thing entirely, it's simply not working now that the servers are merged, you can't get your retainer out at all. Just keep retainers as a storage system and convert the wards into an AH like we've been asking for almost 2 years now. Hell I bet people would even happily pay for additional retainers simply for extra storage.

Oh, and they really really really need to make it show the transaction history when you choose to sell something so that you don't have to keep running backwards and forwards to price check everything on your retainer.
