To be honest, the auction sites make EC function almost exactly like the bazaar did, and for all of those purists out there it's not surprising they don't like it. But that's the reality of our current emu- you can basically walk into the zone, look up the what's being sold and how much it costs, go to that "bot" and buy it- no real haggling, etc.
Furthermore, you can do most of that while not even in EC- just need to have a mule parked there for when you make a deal. So really it's even more automated that the old bazaar. At least with the bazaar you had to actually go there (or again have a mule parked there) to check on prices and see what's for sale. With the app you can look up EC without even being logged into EQ- hell, you can even do it on your phone if you want.
