Great memories =) The real euphoric moments wasn't the cheap 2,000 gil items.......it's when you got a 1,000,000 gil item for like 10 gils. |
I think part of the reason the AH system worked in FF XI was because the AH UI was terrible. I loved the mini-keyboard layout for actual gameplay, but AH UI was a pain in the ass. IIRC, once you bid on an item it told you whether you were able to buy it a that price or not and kicked you back to the main AH menu. Then you'd have to go through the item categories and find the item again to rebid. The AH also had no search feature. So trying to find and see if someone put up a 1,000,000 gil item for a lot less was pretty tedious and the main reason why the AH worked so well. I don't think it'll work very well if it was implemented with a more user friendly UI.
