Not to mention anyone that wanders around looking for a specific Item from one retainer to the next has to be a complete moron to not use the search feature that puts a nice lil red star on the retainer with said item... Wandering from one retainer to the next is great for window shopping but when you wanna get a specific item, That is what the search function is for... There is no problem with the Market ward system other than a few things that need improvements as they have stated they are doing and a few trolls that complain because they like to.
I'd like a price history... and it's not for me as a buyer, but rather me as a seller. I vendor over half of my items because I have no flipping clue what they sell for, or how useful they might be. I could find the rarest item in the game, +3, toss it on my retainer and check the MW periodically for the appropriate price. After checking for several days, nobody posts one for me to gauge, so I vendor it.

Is this the kind of system you people want? Really? I don't know if "X Obscure Material of +9 Awesomeness" is amazing or not. Some +3 items sell for absolutely ridiculous prices compared to similar items, or even compared to the end product the item is used to make. It's really hard to judge what to sell some items for when they never pop up on the MW, and consider this situation massively worse for casual players that can't watch every item on the MW every day.

I'm all for sellers setting their own prices on end products, but we should really have SOME kind of price history, even if it's just "Last item sold for: XXX". I'd be fine without a full history, just a simple way to judge the value of something.
