Market Wards, enough is enough

So when 26% of the players voted they wanted an Auction House they lied? It was only 2nd to content.

Nah, they're not lying.

Cairdeas is just arguing semantics for whatever reason.

Judging by the various remarks in this thread and others about this issue, I think it should be pretty obvious what people mean in this context when they say they want an AH system. They want a system that allows them to more conveniently and quickly browse or search for an item, locate said item and purchase said item, without the hassle the current MW system introduces through its setup.

I personally am not fond of the MW setup even if they do stabilize it. To me, it's just another example of how SE has this penchant for occasionally taking something and over-complicating it, apparently for the sake of doing so; even when much more elegant and effective methods are already established.

I believe it's even in the most recent letter, or an otherwise very recent article, where it's discussed that they realized algorithms they're using for another aspect of the game are more complicated than they need to be. Again, typical SE.

Whether or not bidding is involved doesn't seem to be so much the issue and, in fact, I've hardly ever even seen that aspect of it brought up.
