Just no.
While I'm 100% on-board with your opinion, it's not constructive and you sound like a douche by not offering even a cursory reason why you think this.

OP:
Here's why I agree with the knuckle-dragger I quoted:
1) evil races have no place to vendor crap without even more zoning required.
2) Newbs don't get buffs. Love it or hate it, its EQ culture man. A griffon or Shin Ree at orc 1 can be a group imploder if there aren't a bunch of people capable of stomping both.
3) NFP is tiny. The tunnel is crowded enough. 90 people cammed into the courtyard near the bank is miserable.
4) Banking as an ogre or troll sucks. the doors are tiny and its hard to get more than one large race hidden from LoS from that asshole guard in the corner.
5) 10x the NPCs to train to the bazaar. No, it doesn't happen as much as it used to, but imagine if the zone held 15 SGT Slates, and 5-6 Rinna Lightshadows. Griefing Galore.

There are many reasons NFP is an inferior auction zone to EC. Just because a handful of servers forced it to work doesn't make it better.

Edit: Yeah I admit I'm biased, neither of my characters are welcome in North Freeport. I make it work on the necro because he's small and behind the banker is never crowded. The troll goes to Neriak. Hanging out invis, or confined to a tiny area with no guards is not how I want to auction stuff.
