Yes, they got it right.

They got it so right that you could practically automate selling your shit. In fact, you can! When you compete on those systems, you're up against a relentless undercutting machine that takes almost all the dynamics out of selling pixels. It also encourages, directly and indirectly, "gold farming".

I honestly don't even like the fact that we have an auction tracker that some people refuse to deviate from at all, which takes liquidity away from a true supply/demand barter system except for some super-high demand items, but that's the way it's done here (and yes, it is convenient).
I totally agree about the auction tracker and the undercutting. The thing is even with a bazaar that would happen. so you might as well do a real auction house. Id prefer to just leave it as EC. Im not saying EC cant be improved on. I'm just saying its better than the Bazaar or an auction house.
