Honestly the only thing MW was ever going to be of any worth was the rare situation if it prevented RMT actions in the game.
I can honestly say that I've never in my entire life played a MMO with more RMT than this game.
RMT bots honestly make up a sizable massive chunk of the entire population on my server.
AH is the most wanted feature ever talked about on lodestone. It has spawned hundreds of threads with thousands of replies.
Even if they wanted to preserve MW as a secondary option I cannot understand why they aren't addressing this need.
It's the most requested item after quests bar-none.
