Why do you want an Auction House? (discussion)[dev1019]

[Commat]

I don't care as long as it works.

Works in my mind means:
1. I can find what i want quickly.
2. I can unload my goods into the system without hassle.
3. The system fosters a fluid economy.

I feel right now the current system does 1 and 2 fine, and a larger player base would make 3 happen as well.

AH is great, but honestly with the new search function and larger item stacks its basically the same thing =)

With buying/selling directly form item search menu, improved categorization (followed by 2% tax rate for all items), HQ items search option, and no market area crashes it would be similar to AH. At the moment it is far from the same. Actually only the search option makes MW look a bit like AH. All the rest is COMPLETELY different. Much worse to be clear.

Oh, i completely agree with everything you said.

I should have been more clear. I think it still needs a vast amount of improvement.
My only point is that the current system can be a suitable replacement for an AH.

And if your current stance is, in fact, that the AH is the better way to go then I'm inclined to agree with that as well.
