There are more things that would still need to be adjusted if that were to happen. As such we aren't currently planning on switching over to an auction house system as of yet.
In my opinion as long as the market system what ever it is doesn't have Blind or Timed Bidding it has no business being called an Auction House. And all the features of an Auction house besides Blind and Timed bidding can be implemented into the Marketward in some way to resolve peoples issues.

The Problem is marketing. If people think it doesn't have those features because its still called a Market ward. (IE people still saying there is no search feature when there is) then you have a marketing problem. Its a lose lose for people like me who hate Timed and Blind Bidding and do not want to see the system renamed Auction house just to appease the masses.
