Example as to why we do need an AH

[Spuffin]

A lot of talk about why do we need an AH or why we do not need an AH.

If you'd like we can turn this into a Poll: Agree or Disagree

Disclaimer: Granted the current fixes to the wards are fine and do need improvement but... it's not something we need in this game.

Well this game is currently under an overhaul and a complete revamp and I feel that an Auction House would be sublime. Why? Let me show you and explain.

Here is an example of Aions Auction and it's beneficiaries:

- Categorization
- Price assortment and lists
- Easy searches from common ~ rare
- Fast and Efficient
- You want it? Right click it and buy it (It's now in your inventory)
- Want to sell it? Right click it and list price (It's now on the broker)
- Want to know what you look like before you buy it? Right Click + CTRL
- Want to know how much an item is you have but you don't want to type out the name? Right click it and it appears in the search box.
- Want to know the stats? Highlight it and it will show you what it has in a pop up bubble
- Who is selling it? Names are listed so give them a whisper so you can haggle some prices~
- Auction house is connected throughout the entire server
- Alleviates lag in many different aspects

I can continue on with the list but there is no need as it is obvious as to what an AH really offers.

The effectiveness of instantaneously buying and selling at will with no restrictions with absolute convenience is why we need an AH.

I currently can't find any videos on the up to date market wards but I'm pretty sure everyone knows the hassel you have to go through to buy and sell items; it's a very time consuming process that takes a lot longer than what it should.

Same story for vendering items to an NPC
