We've already seen the problems that the game engine has rendering player characters and NPCs. We experience the popup all the time.

Do you really believe that a purely menu-based, text-based market interface system that performs the exact same functions as the current market wars system would crash just as often?
Like everyone else here, I don't know what is causing the crashes. I certainly hope they can fix it though. But I really don't believe throwing the baby out with the bathwater is the solution here.

Besides the crashing, I have no problem what so ever with the market ward. Actually I take that back. If they add the ability to indicate +1s and the like that would be great. But again this is just my opinion and my personal preference. I really don't want to see an AH like we had/have in XI.
