I don't want an auction house.

Now that the search function has been implimented, I like it the way it is. I like running through the wards and searching for items. Sometimes when I find an item, I discover that seller has some other items for good prices. Going through the wards is peaceful, and I feel like I'm on a shopping trip. I like to look at some of the interesting names people name their retainers.

I also really like my retainers. I like that they model the things I have to sell. I like that they will stand there indefinitely until they sell everything or I call them elsewhere.



Two very valid points in this thread against the market wards:

1. They are an unnecessary drag on the system. That's true and hard to get around. The wards do crash a lot, and we're not even at full servers.

2. They don't interconnect the cities. Unless they made them into one connecting market in some kind of interdimensional pocket, which would probably cause it to crash more.
