There are no benefits for a MW over an AH, atleast not anything that can't itself be coded into an AH (and the convenience of not having to run all over the place with the AH gives it the edge) unless I'm missing something here?
Well the way I see it (not sure if it's been mentioned. I think I read everything) retainers have one thing that the AH can't have. That is a lot of extra storage space for all the crap you don't want to sell or keep on you. Agreed, there are other ways of implementing it, but as it stands now, that's what they offer. I also see worlds of things that retainers could do for you in the future. They can have the much needed delivery system built into them, but then that would mean you'd have to have one to use said system. They can literally be your liaison for almost anything you would like to have done while you're out adventuring. Retainer functionality is not limited to the buying and selling of goods, as is an auction house.
