    It did.

    Again. the only thing that makes a market system into an Auction House is some sort of variable bidding where the price listed isn't always the price paid or received. IE Blind or Timed Bidding.

    All Convenience changes that an AH have beyond those two points can be implemented into the Market Ward. You don't need an AH for them.

    The only reason you would implement an AH is if you were going to introduce the Variable Bidding.

    Which as of yet, I've yet to see anyone say that the reason they want an AH is because of Variable Bidding.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Interesting, if that's the case i don't see why everyone is so up in arms over this. I agree that familiarity is nice and i am used to AH's but the MW works nearly the same, just took some refining and getting used to.
