FFXI already had bazaars and AH which proves that they can work together.


Please please please tell me you aren't trying to say these awful market wards are a good excuse for not having an auction house.
There's plenty of people (including myself) that don't agree with that at all.

I suppose I missed what you were trying to say because I thought it was so absurd that I assumed you couldn't have meant that but it seems that you did.
Market Ward = Auction House.

You can search for your item, you can see who sells it. The two differences are you have to run your lazy ass across two GIGANTICALLY tiny rooms while looking for an NPC with a different colored name and a red star conveniently located next to the name, and that there's no price history (my only problem with it).

Both games have bazaars.

There you go. A searchable option, and a non-searchable one.
