well a little lag lol but thats to be expected but still farrrr more convenient.

Could anything anything at all be worst then the current system lol =/

I'm fine with a menu system as long as its not npc's named inny minny miney and moe lined up by the hundreds that lag the game when u enter the stupid wards ..
buying/selling in this game is way harder then it should be.. scrap the damn npc's..

Take a look at Neopets, Dragonica and even Amazon.com. Their models all involve player/user owned shops, but you don't have to physically browse to the shops. You can purchase the items from the shops directly from the search menu or item page, but you're also able to browse the shop as a whole (again, without needing to render it or move a character to its physical location) if you want to.

That's what MW should have been. None of this retainer zombies sitting in a dungeon that you must physically travel through to get your items.

at this point i would take a brick wall with a list on it as long as it was more user freindly then the wards so i cant disagree with any idea that takes a sawed off shot gun to the head of all retainers.

I can agree with this! Buy everything right from the search counter, forget wandering through the wards. Everything you purchase gets put either directly into your inventory or gets queued into your loot list. This method also has the added benefit of being able to be used out in the field, if they decide to grant access to the MW and retainers to the hamlets they've already setup in the game, but just haven't done anything with.
