Exactly ^^ It is nice to be able to share info or have somethings that make it easier to buy and sell, but p99auctions became just a tool for a few people to institute their own pricing schemes. It certainly made the market more efficient, but also fixed prices to whatever someone felt like /aucting once per day on a couple different toons.

You do realize that "price fixing" got much easier now, right? The EC bandits can now just run private parsers to do the exact same thing that p99 auctions did, but only for themselves. P99 auc made everything more transparent and made the buy/sell game much more difficult. Without it the tunnel rats have a huge advantage.
