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

[Kimowar]

But you're wrong, which is why I assumed you don't play (and I still think so).

You do not have to run through different MW looking for the star.

1.) Search item
2.) Get list of who is selling the item in which ward, for what price.
3.) Enter the ward for the person you want to buy from
4.) Pick up your item.

Absolutely no difference from purchasing the item from AH and then having to run to a mailbox to pick it up. Even takes about the same amount of time.


Turns out I was right about them trying to take it off topic too. lol

dont forget, how easy it is to travel to differnt cities, or how nice it is to not really know if your selling/buying at a fair price, but tell us why you are so afraid of a few game changes?

Yeah, I agree! Very easy to travel between cities! It only costs 3 Anima. And very easy to tell if you're buying at a fair price, since everyone who is selling the item is listed... you can see what everyone is charging and compare prices!

Please, try and come up with good arguments if you're going to argue.

It's already been stated many, many times in this thread alone that the negatives of adding an AH outweigh the positives (which are nearly non-existent with the improvements to the MW). The biggest complaint that people have is that "I have to run to the retainer!", which I have proven is not a valid complaint since you have to run to mail boxes for most AHs anyway.


P.S. And what would make you think if they added an AH it would be global anyway?

Edit: Why are you afraid of change?

your right, traveling to differnt cities is easier then mailboxes that are usually placed right next to the ah, and most every mmos ah's are global, mw's are by no means, no matter how hard you defend them, are not easier then an AH,

I never said they were easier. I am saying that they are insignificantly different (from AHs that use a mailbox system, that is).
