i'd be glad to be one of the first to filter out a global chat function so i didn't see it. i go to the meeting area when i want to do content. if i'm not there it's because i don't want to be bothered. with linking the 3 cities it won't matter what you have for sell in limsa anymore than what you are selling in uldah since everyone can get the item from your retainer regardless of which city they are in. there is nothing that is required to be tweaked in the system in place now that would be anywhere near as much work as putting in a stupid blind auction house like was in xi. if i want to buy an item just tell me how much you want for the stupid thing..... i don't need to go guessing how much you are selling it for. it's stupid and that part of the past should stay in the past.
Your 1st question insults my intelligence.

You do realize linking just the MW still would make everyone crowd Ul'dah for shouts, which is where u obtain ur pickup grp/fill in members. Filter it if you want, but for ppl who are crafting out of boredom but would love to do a prime battle & someone is busy shouting in Ul'dah for it.. that person is SOL. Sure you could ask ur LS to look for you, but they forget, get busy, and why should someone constantly be on the lookout for you?

Also linking all 3 wards basically gives u a centralized Auction House with an NPC attached to it.. So you've just taken ANOTHER step towards an AH but keeping an antiquated system..

You search like an AH... you purchase from the search like an AH.. but you list items via an NPC that's summoned few feet from the AH.. um... yea... the point is?

Inch...by..inch..... Becoming... an Auction House..

If you guys really hated AH that much you'd have hated the search function, just saying.. Facts are facts.
