Market Wards, enough is enough

Honestly if you need to write more than 2 sentences to explain how it works it's less handy than a proper AH.

We've had to read at least 7 pages of articles to understand the EVE market systems. By your rule, that would make that system not a proper AH.

Actually, by your rule, the only proper AH would be in World Of Warcraft. I guess one could argue that, but I personally wouldn't.

Absolutely not, sir.

In the IT world, we don't call anything "better" unless it clearly has two components.

Better = Faster + Easier.

If it's slower, users won't think it's better, no matter what features it has.

This is also known as the Windows Vista Phenomenon.

Although I agree with your statement, this is not the IT world.

Your statement would of applied well if you were discussing a windows application to make something easier for users.

I'm not hatin' by the way, just saying.

And in MMO terms that means that the Market Wards and EVE's System fail. Thanks for proving my point.

You're quite welcome. I'm an equal opportunity debater. I don't ignore valid points simply because I disagree with them. But when one person is championing a viewpoint so well, I feel little need to pile on. So it might seem like I'm ignoring them.

I'd argue that if WoW system didnt have timed bidding as an option blizzard wouldn't have called it an auction house.
