    -How is it for the buyers when it's more inconvenient than any other system available?
    i was talking about MW as a system like AH, and with a system for byers i mean that you can see all prices, leading to much more undercutting then it did with the ffxi system. The fact that it is clunky and inconvenient to use well, i think we all know haha

    -That's happening now and there's literally nothing that can be done to stop it. It's a principal of economics that people will compete in prices, because selling more items cheaper and faster is better than selling less items slower, but for more money. Furthermore, people will only undercut until a price stabilizes to its actual worth; items don't get undercut down to nothing, because then trying to acquire or sell them stops being profitable. Regardless, this has nothing to do with MW and everything to do with the game's currency, available items, and the rate at which currency and items enter and leave the economy.
    That is true to some degree, but the system ffxi had slowed this process down a lot.

    -Again, nothing to do with MW. Crafters in WOW and Aion still liberally make items for profit on the AH, because once someone purchases that item, it's taken out of the economy PERMANENTLY (thanks to soulbinding).
    the 1 year i played aion the AH was a undercutting fest until it was almost empty!!! after server merges and trash mobs dropped golden gear the economy got flooded again. But crafted items were rare as hell since nobody bothered crafting,
    people sold to npc. soulbinding dindt prevent that (even though the idea is very good imo).
    And the fact that the prices are taken out permanently would only affect a new player who didnt watch the economy one bit. Everyone else knows the prices.

    -Bull****. Go make a trial account on WOW and Aion and check out how well stocked their AH's are. People only stop selling X item because it stops being profitable, which, for the umpteenth time, has nothing to do with how that item is being sold (AH or MW or Bazaar or whatever).
    I don't like wow, played the trial, so i wont bother, i did play aion, and like i posted before... it changed i dunno how it is now but it became more and more childish and i dont wanna even start with the community. Good for them if its better now. Still the system of ffxi imo is better. I might not be as omniscient if it comes to the mmo AH systems as you are though.
