Also, the bazaar actually creates a market for low end items while increasing their availability. Tons of <150p items that new folks want get vendored constantly simply because rational individuals don't want to waste hours attempting to sell them. It's incredibly annoying sometimes to try to find low-end items - reasonably so, no one wants to sit in EC and auction or update EC forum threads incessantly for minimal gain.

Good point! I read the entire post, but hadn't really considered this specific advantage. Keep in mind Im secretly a casual - (most of us) don't have the time we used to prior to Luclin on Live, and anything that reduces "housekeeping" is a +1 IMO. In this case, housekeeping is selling off low value loot en masse and AFK rather than banking it for a year before giving it to the nearest noobie to make room for other stuff.
As I stated before, I personally am not opposed to Luclin (or even PoP up to, but not including Time). I just think both sides will have to give a little to strike a deal that is very close to classic with a few concessions made to the anti-cat crowd. I enjoyed the triggered events and relatively low light settings of Luclin. The aliens were a little hard to embrace, but overall there were some cool concepts introduced.
Not to hijack the thread, but how many expansions-worth of content do you think the P99 player base can populate before getting too spread out? There will likely always be "hot zones" where people like to group, but we all know the feeling of running through a zone and seeing your the only one there... some like it, but most of us enjoy running into and working with other players.
