    Heres the backside of the argument then. The only feature that is technically unique to a Auction House are Blind and Timed Bidding. When someone says they do not want an Auction House they really do mean they do not want Timed or Blind Bidding.

    This whole thing is a problem with Nomenclature. If all the features besides a Timed or Blind Bidding were implemented it still wouldn't be an auction house and all those features can be implemented into the market ward.

    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.

    You might have a point there if it weren't for those same people who "say they do not want an Auction House" to wax emotional about the endless possibilities of an NPC zombie middle-man server-crashing retainer who adds immersion and fun and is one of the only things standing between the treasured uniqueness of this game and WoW.

    If by Timed or Blind bidding you mean that I have only 5 days to sell my item before it is returned to me then you are correct. I want no parts of it. I would rather be taxed by selling something and not for putting it on sale everytime. I do not know how much Gil I have lost because the manipulators forced me to resell things over and over again

    "Timed Bidding" is when you put an item up for 5 gold and set it to stay up for 7 days and then people bid more and more for it till the 7 days is up.
