I remember in FF11 they had the AH too. I never saw anybody using bazaars when the AH was there. Do you guys remember how the AH killed all use of bazaars on every server? Man, nobody saw that one coming, did they? So why would SE even think of keeping these market wards around for easier searching of bazaars when clearly nobody will ever use them once they finally release the AHs?
