I'm with the OP. I can't see a retainer system as a market functioning in ARR. It's crazy that they want to use a system everyone is against. People want to have easy access to a market where they can sell and buy items with ease. We don't want to go into an instance, then click through 10 different menus to get to see what we want to buy.

Also, in order to sell some items and you want to know the prices of such item, you have to go to the market menu, check prices, then go back to your retainer, do a bunch of click, wait for the item list to load, then pick the exchange item menu, put item in retainer, get out of the menu, click on bazaar menu, look through your list for the item, click item, input the price you want to use to sell item, get out of the menu, wait a few second for your avatar to be able to move again. THIS IS MIND BOGGLING.

All I want is (go to AH window, click buy or sell, items appear, choose item, and pick if you want to buy or not) simple...
