Ok, I have a question for the people who "have to have an AH".

It seems the big complaint (and only real complaint) is that "oh, I have to enter the market ward and pick up my item".

So I ask you: How is that any different than MMOs where you have to pick up your AH item from your mail box?

I'll go ahead and answer this myself. It isn't.

Other complaint is "MW aren't global."

For the global argument... well, neither are the AHs in FFXI. I can name a large number of MMOs where the AH is regional and not global.
