Search in the WardsFollow

Twice now, the developers have taunted us with a search, and denied it.

Twice now, I refuse to login until they create this simple, necessary feature. I adored this game. Your refusal to add in a necessary component has forced my boycott.

Devs... stop dinking around with this. Add search, or lose a customer. Enough is enough. Noone, I repeat, NOONE, wants to go browsing wards for an hour or four HOPING what they're looking for is even for sale.

I have to pay to renew on the 24th, and won't if this isn't released before then. I was a collector's edition buyer. I racked up rediculous hours in the first month and a half, and want to come back, but your lack of timely response frustrated me to the level of walking away before I quit permanently. Fix this tragedy, please. Your otherwise worthwhile product is a piece of trash without this staple of all multi-player gaming.

I missed this one on Lodestone, my bad: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/topics/detail?id=c499e4c5df4f3f0fde1fb47a28574cb9c3991c9f




In my personal opinion, that should have been two weeks after deployment, not continuously saying it'll be included, and then removed, two months later. Again, my opinion.



And thus, the entire player driven market is dead. From where I stand, the fact that you have to have a networked group of people to get things done means it IS breaking, at least from a market standpoint. FF was supposed to be as important market and skill wise as it was combat wise. The market being broken, and needing to be 'networked', as you say, means that *yes*, this is broken, and is not viable.

As to gamebreaking, it depends on where you found joy in the game. I personally found more enjoyment in the crafting and market system in XI then I did in the combat grind. I did not expect the same game, but I also expected with 11 classes for the world market vs. 7 for combat in XIV, there would be better support and more structure for the market side of the game, and that Squeenix would be at least semi-responsive.

So, I won't have to cancel my account... that is good news, and thank you for that, I haven't kept as up to date as I could have on all aspects, since I was primarily watching new feature deployments after my frustration hit the levels it did. I guess I'll keep watching like I was, and waiting until they fix what is a basic necessity for the public, note, public, market system to be a functional tool.

Actually, now that the first ward is the puny Tinkerer's and not Battlecraft I've had a much easier time finding things. I was finally able to find Oak, and another person was able to find silver spectacles. This also lowers exposure to the "First Ward" retainer because of the people who are trying to look through the wards correctly, not a lot of people are going to look for sundries and beastcoins just yet. :P

They've never told us that it was ready to push live and then not added it. They've told us that they're working on it. That's all they've ever told us. Where you get this notion that they've told us it's being added and then "removed" it, I have no clue. Part of your frustration and irritation is your own doing. You have to read what is written as it is written, not as you wish it were written. They can't back out of a promise they've never made, they can't remove something that was never there. They're working on it. That's all we've got right now.
