Still, though most gear and some odds and ends for crafting are a huge pain to find because of this, I'm pretty much on the fence as to whether they actually need to add an AH right now. If they do, it can only help, as far as I'm concerned.

This is a problem with the current system. However, it could be fixed by capping the number of retainers that can be in a given market ward. Either that, or increasing market fees for the more populated city markets.

Personally, I'd just prefer they they make it so that your retainer has to be at a stall in the market wards, instead of standing out in the middle of the floor. We'd need to make the wards about 5x their current size, but it would be worth it to avoid having to wade through people whenever we go to a populated ward.
