I gave you plenty reasons why. The fact that you're not interested in them is inconsequential.

#2 I never called them "clearly inferior" LOL (we need emotes here) and in fact I've said they're basically an AH that is less convenient, so you can put words in my mouth all you want but it doesn't change my argument as I'm sure other people can read for themselves
.

ahem...

And just explain to me how a system shouldn't be scrapped if its clearly inferior to another one that can be readily available?
Looks like you did. Maybe you should read your own posts?

#3 When a company makes a forum, like this one for instance, do you think they start with an empty notepad from scratch? point being, like these forums, there is most likely a base code for an AH they would start from and how many people would it take to sit there and work on this? 2 or 3 coders? if 3 people work on this for the next 5 months leading up to (what I'm assuming to be) PS3 release you don't think they can get it done? I might be overestimating SE's resources but atleast I don't think they have monkeys working for them.
I love how people with absolutely no experience in game development go around throwing wild assumption on resources allocation in game development. 2 or 3 coders is ridiculous. Not only you have to code a function, you also have to devise and design it, you have to create a graphical UI, you have to TEST it. Are you really thinking that they can just go to the "code supermarket" and buy an Auction house system that is compatible with the game and it's itemization systems? Sorry but this is hilarious.

#4 So you have no argument. I was being rhetorical. You said: "just because a system isn't beneficial over another one, doesn't mean it should be scratched" so I gave you a rhetorical scenario (which include the "clearly inferior", now I remember) to show you how stupid that is.
The only one that has no argument is you, if you have to resort to rethorics and unrealistic scenarios just to prove a (false) point. It's called a strawman argument, and guess what? It's a logical fallacy.

Ditto. I DON'T CARE. Remember, my topic is about getting an answer as to why they're sticking with MW. Why did they make a MW to begin with. I don't care if they implement an AH or not, but nothing presented in this topic shows me any benefits to having a MW over an AH other than impulse shopping....whippeeee..
You have been given answers. Plenty. The fact that you can't accept them, again, is inconsequential.
Besides, impulse purchases are an extremely important area of any vital economy.
