It's the "physical" market thing that is stupid and inconvenient.
And sell items through the same menu. And view price history through the same menu. And not be taxed because your six items don't fit in two categories. And charge tax on listing rather than on sale so the system doesn't get clogged up with people using it as storage or charging ridiculous prices(your level 6 weapon is not worth 80k, sorry).

I loved FFXI's AH because it didn't show the list price, which prevented the undercutting war that every other AH I've seen ends up going into.
Also, complaining about FFXI's AH because of 'overpaying' is like complaining about shopping anywhere that doesn't hand out coupons for everything. If you're not paying more than the average then you're not overpaying. You're just not getting it for less than it's worth. :/
