in some cases MW are better then AH.

compare to WoWs AH
1 better organized list of where your item is
2 no waiting for itens to be put in a mail box
3 not having to bid on an item due to a rediculously high buy out cost.
4 not having to deal with bidding and waiting several hours only to find you was out bid.

FFXI AH
1 you know the price right off the bat
2 no need to worry about bidding
3 no more worring about being a split second late in getting the last item listed.


What we can improve
1 key word feature
2 a menu buy out but taxing the buyer.
3 a larger area for retainers to deal with space issues
4 automatic preplaced locations and retainers automaticaly use stall and have option to "model" your wares through it.


There is no serious issue with the MW and only complaint is walking to a retainer. But that is the same time it takes to make a bid or wait/ getting an item from the AH/mail box.
