The search was a band aid? Really? The system as it stands is just as functional if not more so then a AH. The amount of time it takes for me to find and buy the item I am looking for is less time then it takes for the auction house in FFXI to load all of it's items. The system works great as is. The ONLY real issue is the fact that the market wards tend to crash to often. If they could fix that then I would be 100% happy with the current system(and a few future tweaks to add a few things like being able to see +1's and etc it would be a nearly perfect system). This system works. It's easy to use and gilsellers can't really take advantage of it like they did with the auction house in XI(which was driving force behind the creation of this system in the first place)
