Don't Ruin the economy with an auction house! please![dev1019]

This topic is certified grade A dead horse.

All I ever see are people complaining about them implementing an "AH" because it will shatter the earth when what they're talking about is implementing the "FFXI AH" with all its problems... Of course that wouldn't be very productive or helpful.

Also stop blaming price histories for every problem you've ever had in your life... Flying Spaghetti Monster forbid you should be given a useful price history better informing you as to market trends over the last month and preferably over the last year.

P.S. Fees were never a serious barrier to entry unless you're a cheapskate in which case that's your problem. They provide a reasonable way to siphon some gil out of the economy.

I keep editing this thing... Wolfie your last para. is +1.

One final addition. Basic economics is about supply and demand. You'll note that the classic FFXI style AH is one sided giving voice to only the supply side of the equation. That, in and of itself, is broken. Think outside the box a little.
