This type of complaint was common also, which is why they implemented the player turned NPC marketplace. Introducing the Player Marketplace was the start of the dismantling of player social interaction. Auctioning in EC IS part of the game. While it was not intended by the developers, it was a player created tool which drove the economy. You worked for your Plat by manually selling instead of hoarding it on a mule and having it sell for you. This was Devs giving in to lazy nerds. While it seemed like a good idea at the time, it took away meaningful player interactions.
Nah, haggling with some nerd who wants to get every last plat he can for his item that there is already 3542254 of on the server isn't a meaningful social interaction. It's wasting my time when I could be grouping with others and having fun. The bazaar was a godsend.
