an AH would connect all sellers, most other games AH have a buy it now function, but would eliminate the need to travel differnt wards and cities looking for an item, my suggestion if the devs are dead set against an AH, which was se's invention btw, I say the use a broker similar to what soe does for eq2, basiclly it would connect all retainers and could instantly buy from the broker for a small fee instead of hunting down the retainer
