Wow, no mention of Auction house / MW improvements

I better quit looking at info on diablo 3 since there is no release date for it yet!

Really so potential PS3 players are forbidden from doing research on the game right now? Wow i didnt know that.

why ps3 players then why not just say potential players.

nothing wrong with painting on cave walls. but if some bright spark never though " you know what there must be a better way" we would never have a got to a point where you would be playing an MMO , and sure mr cave man might have invented the wheel, but did they fill it with air and put rubber around it? innovation

market wards are not innovation, innovation means you make something better.

wait for the finished product, before u pass judgement

now lets look at how many of them are actualy auction houses in function and not just nae
oh thats right, 1 of them, ffxi

Actually, D&D Online has functional auction house. It's a timed auction, seller sets an asking price and an optional buyout price, and an expiry period. Prospective buyers place their bids, and are notified by in-game mail if they've been outbid.

It also has Pawn shops, where sellers sell equipment at a fixed price, and buyers buy it at a higher fixed price. Sellers do better here than selling items to NPCs, and it functions as a money sink, and is an anonymous way to buy and sell. In fact, I believe the AH is also anonymous.

I've just played FFXIV for the first time in months, and find it to be more fun than it was regardless of the MW/AH status. Battle system as a higher priority than economy makes sense to me simply because I do not spend most of my time buying and selling things.

this is the most important factor in anything

people dont buy a game thinking "omg i hope it has an auction house thatl be awesome"

they care about content, battle systems and stuff like that

Lets try this again since people are so hung up on the PS3 part of my last scenario

Hi my name is Bob. I am a potential future FFXIV PC player. I have decided to do a little reading on FFXIV because I am considering dropping $25-50 up front and then $13+ per month on it. Please direct me to the media you would have me read which shows the game in a positive light. Maybe some media that has good things to say about the market wards.
