    Rinse repeat 5-10 times all without having to move your character from place to place.

    Is that what you meant?
    And again, this is not an action house

    An action house would be:
    Approach AH
    Select Catergory
    Select Item
    Bid Item
    Wait a little
    Bid again

    Purchase Item
    Equip Item

    Yes and you can do it all without moving in one spot. Thats called a better system. Why do all those steps then have to move around a bunch of times to get each item when you can just get everything you want in one trip. Nice try though with trying to act like what you posted is anywhere near as annoying as the market wards.

    Depends on your implementation of the Auction House. It doesn't have to be like the FFXI one where you have to blindly bid on things. You can have it show the lowest price(s) on whatever item you're bidding on.

    You can have an AH set up as follows::
    Weapons
    -Types of Weapons
    --Sortable list of a type of weapon
    ---Buy
    ---Price history
    Repeat for each category
    Showing the lowest price(s) in the buy menu and the last prices in the price history menu

    No, that is a WoW and Rift Auction House system. In Final Fantasy XI all you had to do was look at the price history and it would give you an idea of what to bid at. If you bid at or higher than asking then you win. There is a bid and if not accepted then bid again until you win, but there is no waiting in between.

    Actually, WoW was more like:

    Approach AH
    Type in item name
    Click "Buyout" on the cheapest one
    Confirm
    Run to mailbox
    Click on the mail for that particular auction
    Take the attachment
    Equip the gear/use the item to do whatever. . .

    Granted, with mods (which most players used) it looked more like this:

    Approach AH
    Type item name
    Shift-right-click the cheapest one
    Run to the mailbox
    Click the button to take all the attachments in your mailbox
    Equip/use item

    . . . which is closer to how I'd like this game to look, honestly. Remember, very few people ever actually bid on a regular basis in WoW, and very few people are actually asking for an AH with a bidding system here, either.

    Skip bidding because bidding blows ass, and buyout.
