Retainer Markets vs Auction House

[Zanfire]

I just used them again yesterday...and man they really are feeling like extra steps. I wished i could just use the item counter alone to buy things. First let me orginize the stuff by rank at least and just let me buy from there, instead of me having to find the guy in the right ward the NPC is sitting at.

All it is, is SE trying to be different just for the sake of being different. Sure it's a great idea on paper (player run shops making it feel more involved etc) but I have NEVER seen an instance where it actually worked to benefit people without any crippling drawbacks. Those crappy free to play MMO's all have player shops and they've never been anything but a nuisance. MMOs all use auction houses now because they WORK. They're a simple way to buy and sell all your items in a convenient location QUICKLY, so you can go back to playing the game and having fun.

Letz not post about the AH because it was already post about before, we wouldn't want anyone to have to read a similiar sentence on the list of topics. That would be unbearable.
