You search for the item you want, bid on it (something the market ward retainer system cannot do without implementing a bidding system which equals an AH anyway mostly), it is delivered to you, you click the next one, buy it outright, its delivered to you. Theres no zoning, no instances, no waiting for retainer to pop up and load, no running around pointlessly.
Do you really think they could just port all that over? Do you think they would? I doubt it.
