This is why SE need a testing server, if they proved that deleting the MW and going for a text window based AH system showed vast server performance then I would be up for moving to an AH (no blind bids or bidding allowed). I dont dislike the wards I quite enjoy looking through them but it does get tedious after a while, especially if your looking for multiple items. Maybe add a menu command that portals you to the ward from anywhere in the city so you dont have to run (yes its lazy i know). I like the idea of banking, you can even tie in quests to unlock bigger holding space or have LS space that is rentable (isk sink).

I have another idea - I know this might not be the right thread to post it in so please dont flame.

If they ever do add a 'drag + drop' UI system for the pc version I would like it see if they would add a auto-macro for equiping gear. It would have two icons, the first one in the main icon where all the gear equipping takes place it would be within the main menu (the one that appears on the whole right hand side of the screen) and clicking the option pops up a window that gives you 10 tabs, each tab can be renamed by the user so for example - White Mage, Maurauder, Paladin, Miner, Botanist, Armourer etc etc. But instead of writing the macro all you have to do is drag and drop the item from your inventory into the slot's so it would look like the same gear equip screen we currently have now. You drag all the items you want over from your inventory and it is stored in the macro and disappears from the inventory screen when slotted. To enable the gear switch have another fast equip icon along side the current icons at the right hand bottom of the screen that pops up how ever many macros tabs are active in list form, so if you only have 2 tabs with gear in it only shows those 2 tabs, a simple click on the name within the list enables the gear switch. Maybe have a simlar thing with skills too?

I think its a simplier version of the current macro system and one that is fool proof in terms of getting it right, having to re-write macros because of one erroneous character is annoying.
