We need an AH

FFXI AH description fail--->pointless post.

Guess you where one of the lucky ones who guessed right on the 1st try evertime. I remember times where there were no item up for what the price history had posted.

no kidding, even if you do guess right on the first try.....it still took time to do everything(including finding the item in the menus) so even with the "no failed bids" it took a bit of time

This prevents items from having completely "set" prices while giving the economy room to breathe. But I do agree that the UI could have been designed better and I'm sure many were hoping that this evolution of the AH and the removal of the strict number of selling slots would happen in XIV. Nobody foresaw that they'd take this massive step backwards and only bother to do the lesser used cheaper to implement bazaar system that isn't any less "copied from XI" than a useful AH would be.

In fact XI had one of the first AH's in MMO games period.

It's time to stop pretending that the players will ever embrace this new system because it's not an unique feature nor is it bringing in any new players because it exists.

Agreed.. I just find it funny when some people try to dig up shortcomings of AH in the aim of defending MW when MW is an obvious pure fail to the masses and is far from competent.
Some people just love to argue for the sake of arguing, simple as that.
