AH info lost in the sauce?

[Cairdeas]

AH is not necessary, Only Time and Convenience Are. And they can be implemented into the wards.

Improving Time and adding Convenience to the market wards would turn them into an AH.

Lol, sorry, I had to/

No, Adding Timed or Blind Bidding would, and no one likes those.

You're assuming I was talking about an FFXI style auction house. Sad to say I wasn't.

As for timed bidding.... They could just not add it. It's called a buy now button. Adding a bidding feature is completely optional.

Its not an auction without a bidding mechanic. Sorry, but thats the cold hard facts. If there is no bidding its a straight market.

I guess that what Cair wanted to say is that an AH is Timed Bidding (or Buy Now) objects to buy and send them into your mailbox, but people don't want all that stuff, just buying an item and put it into their bag, which by any means is not an AH, but something near a Market Wards system.

That said... Guys, Ana just wants to know where are the infos about the Auction House, if it's still getting considered or trashed away. I think, like other threads, that this deserves an answer from the Dev team.

An auction is when you bid for somthing, if they add a feature to buy from the wards interface its still not an auction house, anywhere that uses the term auction house for a buy now feature either doesnt know what an acuction house is or just uses the term because everywhere else does.

If they add a buy now feature to the wards interface its still the wards, have you ever seen an rl auction house that lets you buy now? ebay doesnt count because it has bidding, just has an option to buy now if the seller wants it.

Bidding is what makes an auction house an auction house, if they just have a buy now button its still a market just without the need to run to the retainer.

Your post was late and unnecessary. Cair already stole your thunder. Read the whole thread before posting instead of stopping to drop off your opinion on the way.

I just dont want SE to read this and give somthing a wrong name because there jumping on the band waggon, the more people that give this logic against the people who say they want an auction house which has no auction, the less chance there is of SE thinking we just want the name.
