The lack of creativity: Dev or US?

What we have now is pretty much on par with an Auction House they just need to fix the crashing. The thing this game suffers from the most is lack of content.

I would say that adding stability and a centralized search system, it's actually better than an auction house. Auction houses lack a very important element of any realistic/prosperous economy: Impulse purchases.

Also, it's definitely superior in terms of eyecandy and the ability to actually preview the look of a piece of equipment before buying it.

And no, I'm not confusing familiarity with practicality either. Just because a practical system happens to be well known does not mean that people are asking for what's familiar. They're asking for what's practical.

Just because a familiar system is practical, doesn't mean that an alternative system cannot be practical as well (or more)
