Market Wards vs AH

[Abriael]

Tell me you honestly believe the *majority* (majority, not random, niche nitwits) of people asking for an AH, given a *full featured equivalent system* still called Market Wards, would still complain and beg for the Ward's destruction, and and we can end this convo right now because it'll be obvious we're not being reasonable or serious.

If they still didn't notice that the market wards we have now are nothing else than a basic auction house system that's just waiting for further features (many of which already hinted at by the devs, like keyword search and price history) and stability fixes (even here already announced), then yeah, you get the picture. Or maybe you don't?

Why not just call an auction house an auction house? Just wondering.

Right, followed this topic from the beginning, and don't see these alleged specific quotes.

And you know what? They really don't matter, because you're both ignoring the overriding point. Might there be people so unreasonable they're asking for an AH and nothing else? Sure. But most people, given an equivalent system, would stop complaining. Tell me you honestly believe the *majority* (majority, not random, niche nitwits) of people asking for an AH, given a *full featured equivalent system* still called Market Wards, would still complain and beg for the Ward's destruction, and and we can end this convo right now because it'll be obvious we're not being reasonable or serious.

That sounds harsher than I mean, but I mean no hard feelings either way, just trying to cut the fat here.

I think what it boils down to is that we're on the same side but enjoy arguing too much to just admit it.

Because to most logical beings it shouldn't matter.

Well ,why give anything a name then I guess if we can call it anything we want?

Alas, Wards, while mimicking basic AH functions, have not yet fully realized the concept. People are saying "AH" because that encompasses what they know, the features they want, the *concept* they want realized. If these same concepts are realized, and it's called "Market Wards", it's just unreasonable to say "AH" people wouldn't be happy.

Actually, you have yet to actually deny they wouldn't ultimately be happy, so I assume then my point stands.

[Gracious]

And can you tell me why you are opposed to just calling it an auction house?

Oh no you didn't, that's totally wrong, you're being unreasonable!

...er, okay, maybe you're on to something. <_<

I love you too and I think you're super smart.

*sniffle* That's all I ever wanted someone to tell me.
