i wouldnt mind the MW IF the engine and the servers actually could handle it and if the cities (or all future wards) would act as ONE instance (since they are instanced anyways).

But looking at the game now with the few gamers remaining you already have esp. Uldah almost full or sometimes 100% full wards.
Increasing the ward number will make it even worse imo.

And since the engine has so many limitations (you cant even see the retainers in the other room or at the end of the current room if the ward is pretty full since the engine just shows a limited amount of retainer.

As long as the engine and the system isnt made more conveniant an AH (it doesnt need to have a prize history at all) with the current MW features would be fine.

You could still use your retainer to be linked to the AH. So you could still use him and "send" him to the AH.
So there wouldnt be the need of displaying all the different retainers anymore.

I also would love to have very high taxes on people who just bazaar things (0taxes for repairs though) to get them off the streets. I wouldnt mind that if the engine would work as a mmo engine should... but atm its not able to display a lot of npcs/pcs at a time.
