And I like the more player interaction it brings. Its nice when I am just standing by an Aetheryte and suddenly I see. Player has bought Elm Cane 15k Gil and then the player /bow/wave etc.
I would much rather like SE to upgrade the MW instead of implementing AHs.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I prefer games that does things differently then all other mainstream games out there.
I think most the complaints are on the seller side. Buying from the MW is a fairly straightforward and somewhat enjoyable experience. Selling, on the other hand, is a full time job in and of itself. If I could easily flip between Item Search and managing my Retainer's Bazaar, I'd have no issues. At this point, though, I have to write down what I want to sell on a notebook, use the item search to figure out where I want price my stuff, spend a good hour buying out all the idiots undercutting the market by 60%, THEN set up my retainer for selling. It's exhausting and can take a few hours in the current setup.

Albeit, people are probably spoiled rotten by Auctioneer and WoW. Even with the vanilla AH interface, researching and posting items were in one place and I could tear through everything in an hour, tops.

Currently, unless it's something that I can net more than 5,000 gil on, I vendor it, *period*. My time is not worth less than that.

Then again, the system may be designed such that they want selling to be that much work, but it's a bit extreme.
