I feel I have to add to this post, since the lack of an AH is a game maker or breaker for myself.

I stopped playing the game last year about 2-3 months after it came out after purchasing the collectors edition.

The market ward was one of the main frustrating reasons of why I left this game because frankly, when I log into play after a long day of work, I want to be able to relax and enjoy myself with the couple of hours I have to play before I pass out drooling on my keyboard from exhaustion. I do not want to waste 1hr out of those 2 that I have, searching through a market place.

After loggin in today I see some attempt has been made to make the market ward more user friendly, however it's still time consuming and misses the core point. I appreciate the developers trying to be unique and integrate story line with function however there is a reason why every single successful MMORPG has an AH. People want to spend time playing and having fun instead of wasting it on a market ward.

Please, admit to the fact that this concept has not worked and provide a functional AH for people. Leave the two in place in tandem and you'll see how many people will still bother with the use of a retainer when an AH is made available to them.

I can't see myself coming back to this game or letting my friends know it's okay to play without this feature. I will most likely cancel the account again for a few months or just not log in.
