You are indeed stating an opinion. Some MMOs from the past and even now a lot of direct trade goes through bazaar &trade/"market centers", especially depending on which AH model was used therefore it's purely opinion on what is "better", since as proven some people like the MW and they continue to work on it/improve it.
