Market Wards vs AH

[kukurumei]

Even with an AH it would take that long to implement a new function. Once it get's to the point where you walk up to an NPC behind a counter placed just outside the market wards and maybe 2 or 3 other places around the cities where you can buy/sell all from that NPC it'll all be good and the same as having an AH. It'll get there. Why do you ask? Because that is what we all want!

Adding a function in a classical AH..say you want to add a reputation feature to it. Guess what, you add a reputation field in SQL, and you edit your filter code to if/or reputation field. Done. Maybe an hour...a day if you need to make better graphics like stars icon.

Geez..it's like people are stuck in the 80s. Seriously... I thought with so many people using Excel, they'll at least know what a modern database is.

Here's a simple Excel microcosm of querying.

2minutes not including data input. SQL is just more powerful and robust.
