We need an AH

Their is no way we need an AH. We have one allready. The Retainer Wards do everything an AH does so whats the problem?? All SE need to do is rename the Wards the AH to shut you guys up.

I don't know how to tell you this, but your having a brain malfunction. It is not the same thing. It has a lot of the same features, but you still loose time warping in and walking to said npc and interacting with them. My original post has to do with speed and convenience, not whether or not the MW work or even if they do the same thing as an AH. And maybe some of you have just absolutely awesome specs on your computers, but for those of us that dont........ it does not even take close to 30 seconds. I just timed the time it takes me to buy an item starting from the search function to the point that I leave the ward. Notice I did not include the time it takes to get to the wards. I did this 3 times looking for completely different items each time.

My times were:
1st: 1 min 57 sec
2nd: 2 min 10 sec
3rd: 2 min 3 sec

My average of that time is:
2 min 3.333 sec

And I was not purposefully trying to be slow, I was going as fast as I could. Most of that time loss was in the loading, walking, and interaction times. So dont tell me its not a big deal. Its not just a big deal, its freaking ridiculous, and I should not have to put up with it. And if I could have just bought it from the NPC outside the ward it would have taken me only 3 seconds.
