Yeah, unfortunately that is another matter entirely however it does impact directly on the crafting system. I have no idea what was the concept behind a MW, I hate when they try to hard to make something different. Auction houses have been around in online game for like ever... why? cause it works.

But the price history is not really necessary. Look at a game like WoW, there is no price history and the AH works very good. I liked the history of prices in FFXI though.
