Example as to why we do need an AH

[Gracious]

I can't think of a single reason why Market Wards is better then an AH for purchasing from other players quickly and efficently.

It's because there simply is none. My statement just now isn't a troll but is a fact and the obvious. The next step up from the ward system is to simply... make an AH.

They can even keep the ward system and implement an AH and they will see how quickly the wards will collect dust. No player will ever turn back to using wards but most will camp outside with extra items for sale occasionally when their market list is full which is perfectly acceptable.
