The problem being that many people seem to think "instant buying from an interface with some sort of delivery" is synonymous with "AH". An *auction* house would be a place with. . . y'know, *auctions*. I can't speak for XI's AH system, having never played it, but I know in WoW most items on their AH were bought out, not bid on. Only time most people would bid is if they really wanted something but couldn't afford/weren't willing to pay the buyout cost. As much as everyone loves to bash WoW around here, I'm sure a similar system would result in the same behavior here.
