People will do their AHing while commuting (or at work/school) then come home and log on to WoW. It will always be better to be in WoW than on your phone to WoW if you’re at home anyway.

Of course there may be times when people do both. I suspect a lot of raid leaders are going to find people pay even less attention to tactics talks because they can be playing the AH during the lectures.

You could imagine something like this for EVE, for example. And I don’t think it would necessarily be world destroying.

That said, I’m with Longasc. I miss the world… but then again, with the AH junkies off in their own world, it means I can explore in peace. Well, except for those idiot gankers.

Problem is if someone uses the web page on a work computer it’s easy to detect and stop but someone messing around with their phone? Generally it’s considered bad manners to disturb someone using a phone and particularly bad manners to ask to see it.

On the other hand I commute by bus, it’s rather dull and playing the auction house on my bus journeys is rather appealing.

I think they’re much more looking for more casual players who’d make a few trades here and there, or people who have spare cash and like the idea of having this on their iPhone.

I’m kind of intrigued to see how it goes. Because you’re right, if the offline functionality is too good/slick compared to in game, there isn’t much incentive to log on.
