Another Market Ward post..

repeating and exaggerating minor issues is not going to get them fixed faster, yada yada.

While the system could still work a lot better, it's still useable and I can patiently wait for them to improve it.

switching to a real auction house in 2.0

No, they're not. Not that it isn't already pretty much like a "real AH" already with the searching, price history, direct purchasing, etc. The only thing it really doesn't do, regardless of how clunky the UI is for doing it, is true auctions (e.g. everything is buyout, rather than having a bidding period) and IMO, WoW can keep those. all it really needs is a more unified interface without several levels of menus to navigate in order to operate it. Since you can now place your retainers to start selling things without ever actually entering the wards, you may as well just call it an AH now.
