    For me, I feel like buying from the market wards isn't terrible (yes its not as quick/easy as an auction house, but im not ripping my hair out over it). What kills it for me is selling stuff on there. That is the real problem/hassle. Basically you have to:

    1.Choose the item you want to sell from your retainer
    2.Exit that menu and go to the search function
    3.Figure out what category the item even falls under
    4.Look at the prices of the item
    5.Exit those menus and go back to retainer
    6.Put the item up for sale

    Now with a good UI based auction house they could reduce that many steps way down. Type in the item in a search function, check prices, put the item up for sale, done. Right now theres just way to many menus to go through just to sell 1 item, and with the UI lag, its really a hassle.

    They could change it so you can choose to type what you want to search for which would streamline it more, especially if you arent sure what catogory an item is under, the problem is, as I have already said is the uncertanty behind the future of the wards right now, admitedly this is an addition to the code so there would not be the costs involved from my other post so we could see it sometime.

    Also if your gonna sell somthing wether its in your inventory or on your retainer you usually know what it is, i know few people who think "hmmm i wanna sell somthing random" which is the only time you would need to choose the item you want to sell before you check prices ans put it up for sale.

    It can be changed so you just need to:
    1. search for the item by catogory or text
    2. go to retainer and give item (if you are carrying it)
    3. put item up for sale

    @ArkhamNative (couldnt be bothered to quote) when i mentioned more servers it was to releve load on the wards and rather than all the wards on 1 server they would be split to have thier own server per ward or to save money 2 or 3 wards per server. these would be added to the current server groups that make up the worlds. Yes it would cost alot and i know it wont be implemented unless its certain the wards will remain in game.
