We need an AH

Actually I like some of your ideas.

At least someone does

You are right, and people do like different things. Hey, why don't we get SE to put it to a vote in the 3rd Players Poll. People who like the MW system will lose. And a couple of posts back proves to me what its all about. Its about frickin RPers wanting to roleplay. Which is ridiculous. You do have a right to your opinion, but you are not the majority. And if SE expects people to come back let alone be attracted to the game, they will do the smart thing and have instant delivery system for buying and selling (aka: cater to the majority). I would still be OK with having both systems in place, but I can see the RPers are so selfish, they can't possibly allow it. I'll be honest, I could care less if it stomps all over your sickening little RP dreams. I'd like a compromise, but not many people replying on this forum seem to want to do that. So then let SE put it to a popular vote, and watch the RPers cry from the loudly resounding results.

I don't actually rp them, I just said they allow for it. I never said I was the majority either.

You don't seem to get the fact that because there are subjective reasons for liking the MWs as is, you cannot make the claim that it is objectively better. Objectively better means that your idea is better in all ways for everyone... which it is not.

Your ideas were pretty good. But I disagree with adding a Price History. They are nothing but trouble and easily exploitable.

True I am kinda on the fence with price history on the one hand it is very convenient as it helps to see how much things are going for but then on the other it is exploitable. Maybe they could do price history differently to FFXI though. They could do last 20 of them sold, then also the average price for the week, month, 3 months and so on. Something like that would make it easy to see if someone was price jacking or crashing an item wouldn't it?

I want a price history, so I don't have to use yg for a pricing of an item when there's 0 of them up.

You're right, but fortunately SE only cares about the majority, new players, and players that quit. Guess what? They want a proper Auction House.

There is no need of an AH, and this is why:

a) A waste of developer time when there are other broken mechanics that require much more attention.
b) It is redundant to place a buy/sell system on top of an existing buy/sell system that fundamentally works the same, which only has purely aesthetic differences.
c) A lack of in-game content. People are not buying and selling when there is nothing cool to buy and sell.

It is not infeasible to learn and adapt to something different in a game (something we humans evolved doing, don'tcha know.)

Really? Ok, please show me this evidence you have that the majority, all new players, and all players that quit want an AH... also, please show me which kind of AH they all want and proof that they all want that kind of AH.

@Alexia
Yeah I would agree with that, if they did Price History in a responsible manner, I would be ok with it. If they showed average over long periods of time, it would prevent the exploitability of it.

I HATE the market wards.

Auction House, please.
