Market Wards vs AH

Link me to the post where anyone asked for a functioning Auction House and said that they won't accept it if it's still called "Market Wards". Then, and only then, will I consider this ridiculous statement to be credible.

Well... thats kind of what they are going towards now but people are asking for them to scrap that and just start over and call it an AH.

See, that's the thing, I have read this thread. And I must have overlooked where people are insisting that the name "Market Wards" must be abolished. Surely the people who *did* see these claims would be more able to locate them again.

But people would be content with a new system from the ground up *or* a fully functioning AH even if they're still called "Wards".

Think about it this way: you want pizza, but I give you some uncooked dough. Okay, that's not what you want. So I take that dough, fix it up, call it "ShinChuck Surprise" (insert joke!), and it looks, tastes, smells, and feels like a great pizza, you and the vast majority of people asking for "pizza" are not going to be eating my creation thinking, "Man, but I still want pizza, this is ShinChuck Surprise, not pizza."

"When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck." It's absurdly unreasonable to accuse everyone asking for an AH as being so unreasonable they would not accept a fully-featured Wards that met AH standards, let alone insulting to imply we're too dumb apparently to appreciate a rose because it's called "stenchblossom" even though a rose is exactly what we want.

Then the majority of this thread is the result of failed communication. I don't think anyone would would say that the Market Wards don't still need work. But asking to scrap them and start over is ridiculous. We could have a "market ward system" with all the features almost everyone wants in just a month or two. Or they could scrap it and we will have an AH with all the same features 6 months from now... >.>
