Last Sunday I was on at 1AM EST and there were 20 people over level 15. At 2AM EST there were 15 people over level 15. There were maybe 10 people during those times actually auctioning items.
What? Global ooc/auction was turned off Sunday, the 23rd, way after 1am est.

I posted the announcement thread at 1:14am cst, which is 2:14 am est. Rogean posted the patch notes at 6:27am cst, which is 7:27am est.

If you're saying there's not enough population in general, then I agree with you, but we are working on that. I do not see how it is relevant if 20 people are trying to sell to 20 people, or 100 to 100, though.

Even the post on your front page shows that global chat was off by Sunday night, the 23rd.. I am quite sure when I was in EC Sunday night @ 11PM MST that global chat was disabled... However, I was pretty fucking tired, I could be thinking of Monday night..

Also, you are intentionally biasing your own statistics by placing an arbitrary 'level 15' cap on what constitutes a 'valid trader'.

A fact I am sure you probably know, but are intentionally 'forgetting' because it doesn't suit the point you are desperately trying to make, is that many people use the concept of a 'vendor mule' to do their trading. By definition, these vendor mules will be below level 15. It's very very common because no one wants to waste an hour traveling from their 'hot exp zone' to spend some time trading in EC before logging off. No, they'll camp out their main near where they XP, log over to their vendor mule, and do their trading without having to spend time in travel.

NO WAY I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A VENDOR MULE BEFORE!!!! I didn't include that because you can pretty much substitute vendor mules for the over level 15 people who are sitting there just to be social.

The bottom line is that all the naysayers, whatever arguement they present here, are simply sulking that they can no longer sell their wares in less than 10 minutes. Bew. Hew. God forbid they engage in any sort of "face to face socialization" beyond arguing about camps and spawns...
That is complete horseshit. I hardly EVER saw someone sell something in under 10 minutes, and I spent weeks trying to find items without luck. Specifically I spent 3ish weeks trying to get a set of diamondine earrings (granted, I play 10-20 hrs a week) until finally a guildie just gave me one. Two weeks ago when global ooc/auc was in place I was auctioning for lambent gear for 4-5 days(while playing much more than average) and only found a helm until a guildie decided he didn't mind unloading a full set on me.

I spent 2-3 days on my main farming the items for lambent gear because I went 2-3 weeks with nobody selling it. May be you should actually do some questing instead of waiting around for somebody else to sell it to you.

I prefer to level and wait considering I was only level 15.. Though, I did start questing pieces about 2 hours before someone offered a full set.
