Market Wards vs AH

[Abriael]

that's basically eliminating the retainer part of the system...which then becomes an AH

And what's the problem about that, exactly?

By the way. I'm eliminating nothing. I'm giving players the *option* to bypass it, if they want to, without eliminating the *option* to windows shop if one wants to.

the AH is the shorter path.

Creating a completely new system doesn't sound one bit like the "shorter" path as opposed to adding features to an existing one.

It's semantics again. You are proposing we installed dos then windows98 then windows XP then windows Vista then windows 7. For the sake of preserving your settings. When I have a copy of windows 7 right here. Through everything, the things you are preserving are lost anyway.

Eh no. The problem is that you do not have a copy of windows 7. You still have to buy (read: devise, code, implement, test) your copy of windows 7. What I'm proposing is to install the update from Windows Vista to Windows 7. It costs less and it doesn't force you to format your PC.
