We need an AH

[Cairdeas]

Technically we already have something with the exactly the same features than an AH.

But with more walking time. And a stupid interface.

I'd rather take 2 minutes to go pick up an item instantly then wait an hour for an AH delivery system like WoW. Where I have to backtrack to a mailbox once it finally comes in to pick it up.

That's why I liked FFXI's auction system because it went directly to your items.

edit: Didn't it? It did, right? Now I'm having trouble remembering, it's been a while.

The items you bought on the AH in xi went to your delivery box in your moghouse where you picked them up (acting also as another 8 slots of inventory space if your storage space was running a bit thin) WoW, the same thing, except on a much larger scale with the mailbox system they've implemented.

Wow you really have no idea whatsoever how XI ah works do you?

Btw that wow AH no matter how completely irrelevant to THIS discussion is does sound like a badly designed mess of a system. Almost as bad as the MW but both are light-years behind XI's AH.

LOL you say WoW's "sounds" like a badly designed system, based on something you heard from someone else and then compare it to something you do know, all whilst making the statement "you have no idea".

WoW's AH system is much much better than FFXI's AH and Cair is grossly exaggerating about the mail box system, 99% of cases when you win an auction in WoW are sent directly to your mailbox which is a few steps away from the AH itself. (no waiting)

This is a good example of not believing everything you read on the internetz.
