Or MH is faster. takes me 5 min to fully gear in ffxiv, 20-30 in WoW, due to ah congestion causing menu to lag, plus looking for the best price and finding and loading up the main box clicking on the main THEN accepting your item you use more menus in WoW for 1 item then u do in ffxiv. ffxi can take me 30 min due to bids not being sucessful and finding out the item is 30K more then what was last sold on the list. And you go through as much menus as you do the MW.
From memory, not having played WoW in ages:

Click the NPC, type what you're searching for, pretty sure you can sort by price, click "buy now", hit ESC a few times, run to mailbox, open mail, take out item. This should only take 2-3 minutes.

For XIV, same item (we'll say Tin Ore, as it's in both games):

Open search menu, click Masons Ward, click Ore, click Tin Ore, note what ward the cheapest retainer's in, click "search for retainers selling this", ESC out, click "Market Wards", click on the right ward, wait for loading screen, find the retainer, double-click the retainer, find the ore on their list, click on the ore, click the numbers for however many you want to buy, click okay.

I'm not sure how you can claim that the second option is faster.

ETA: forgot to include some of the steps in XIV
