AH info lost in the sauce?

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.

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.

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.

Lol, if I can do one thing on these forums it will be to put a lil logic into them, but it feels like the few of us that are trying are fighting a loosing battle.

thats always the case

90% of posters just want to say they want stuff without thinking it through(jump is going to save this game didnt you know?)
9% want things that we already have, but they want it made easier and faster(for instance, they dont want an AH, they want a counter to buy stuff at instead of entering the wards)
the other 1% of us know exactly what we want and the reality of it

Lets just hope SE listens to the 10% of people that think things through and either just want things speeding up or know what they want rather than all the useless "I wanna sprout wings and fly, sephiroth did it so I wanna" type posts.

A counter so you dont have to enter the wards would be a good thing to implement it, the main problem would be connecting all the retainers to it, and the constant changes to bazaars, but it is workable possibly by tweaking the search feature slightly or borrowing code from it for a differant menu for it.

The problem being that everyone thinks they're in that last 1%.
