I don't see how this is a "debate" to begin with. Adding an AH doesn't mean that you won't be able to RP in your wards.

XI had the bazaars too and absolutely nobody suggested ditching the AH and going all bazaar. That is what some people in here are saying.

I think adding an AH is absolutely crucial if SE wants to regain the trust of the players. Quite frankly the tweaks in 1.19 seem pretty minor compared to a big issue that has been holing the game back for so long.

Ah affects every aspect of the game. Every single loot drop is meaningless because the lack of an AH makes finding it's price too much trouble to be worth it.

There is no trade between the classes and the initial recipes in this game were clearly designed to make the community work together through economy.

Also battle strategies are completely non-existent because nobody can count on the fact that rank 25 for example has this or that set of gear because given how hard it is to find the said set such requirement would seem downright unfair.

I could go on all day with the details but simply put every single gameplay aspect of the game is affected in a bad way by the lack of an AH.
