I mained a Cleric from kunark-LDoN(ish) era.. forgot when exactly I fell off the horse..
but as a cleric, I absolutely LOVED the horses. don't care what anyone thinks. Having the meditate mana regen while casting was epic; and I was a boss and dropping off that horse and canceling a CH when needed. If I recall correctly the top speed horse was just under Bard travel; but still about double SoW. I imagine the horses were very kind to other casters as well; not so much melee.
I agree with everyone that the luclin main hub kinda broke other features. I concur that the ports really destroyed the Vastness of norrath. I personally don't want luclin; but I want the horses, and I would love to just have the bazaar feature.
Im not sure how impossible it would be; but what about putting in the bazaar 'code' so that we can setup AFK bazaar toons in the EC tunnel?? the tunnel is already littered with AFK people lining the walls; what if the tunnel was the bazaar zone, and you could setup your AFK /bazaar in the tunnel?
I love the EC tunnel, and the need to travel to and from it; but I would HATE having to actually stand there and spam my wares in auction every 2min.... boring as hell. And as others have stated, not much real social interaction anyways.
Also, on the point of personable 'haggling' ... you can still /auction to buy something at gouged prices with the bazaar in place, and hope to find an idiot thatll take your price. And, their was plenty of price gouging in the bazaar anyways... my Brother (as an enc) would lowball all the listed jewelry, putting out the other enchanters; but he made BANK. business is business; was totally fair in my eyes. Same with Shaman PoTs.
just my 2cp.
