The functionality is pretty much the same, with added functions like window shopping and actual visualization of what you're buying on a character.

the time lost by moving into a ward and buying the item (which you already know is the cheapest) from an NPC (that you definitely don't need to "chase down" as it's clearly visible, marked, and rezzes before all the others (but yay for the use of hyperbolic terms to try and make things look worse), is negligible. So yeah, It's basically an AH, and it's laughable to see some screaming bloody murder about it because it's not called "Auction House".

My biggest problem with the Market wards is how the price list for an item only lists the cheapest 20 of any item so if 33 people list the item you dont see the prices for the last 13. The only reason this is an issue for me is because generally people charge more for the HQ version of an item which means in my senario if 10 of the items were HQ and were the 10 most expensive of the type of item they wouldnt even make it on the list.So I would have to zone into every single ward and run from one end to the other to check for the HQ version of the item. That takes about 15 minutes for 1 item.

I knew it. For every stupid idea that turns of hordes of customers,
there's a few guys who actually like it.
Must be some sort of natural law.

LOL, yeah, because having to actually go pick up an item at the market wards "turns off hordes of customers" right?

People with weak arguments need to make massive use of hyperbole to try and get a flawed point across. Must be some sort of natural law.

They're already implementing HQ search.
