I don't want an AH, at least in the traditional form. The way it has been implemented in other games makes it more like a glorified NPC merchant than anything else. Plus, you can't really add this type of AH without destroying the window-shopping aspect of the market wards, which some of us enjoy.

The worst part, however, is that selling items on an AH is a royal pain in the rear compared to an AH. With the market ward, I can generally have my retainer throw up whatever I want to sell, then forget about it for a few days. With an AH system, you have people constantly undercutting you and then other people undercut them, the net result of which is that prices get driven through the floor. At which point the only people making any semblance of profit are the farmers.

The bottom line is that an AH benefits buyers, while market wards benefit the sellers. I would personally have the latter.
