It's weird, I wouldn't mind only the bazaar by itself, but I have such a negative association with the weird unfinished crappy expansion that accompanied it that I'm EC tunnel all the way.

Something that always drives me nuts is the "it's faster to just buy it than camp it" argument for certain items. Oh, you want a solist wand? Wayyyyyy faster to just farm the plat and buy it! Well, if it's so rare in the first place that I should just buy it, why do you think there will be one for sale? Instead of camping it for two days and actually getting it (for free), it's better to watch auctions for like a month and buy it? That's "faster"? I don't think so.

You could also post in the various auction discords that you're looking to buy. Can usually find whatever item, even a very rare one, pretty quickly that way

Sorry you are stuck in that classic andy mindset.

This may be a stupid question, but who is Andy?

Discord has filled the role that the bazaar did in Luclin. I guess if rangers want endless quiver, etc., adding Luclin AA's at level 60 could be fun here and allow character advancement past 60, just no moon please. Why isn't the Sleeper flying around the world wrecking random unsuspecting people?

No, discord is not even 1/1000th the convenience and price deflation that the bazaar creates

also, I don't have to hear lame nerd voices in the bazaar

There is nothing stopping a savy web developer from making an out of game site that fully replicates the bazaar pricing and search functions. Yes, you would need to contact the player, possibly out of game to complete the transaction. Honestly a little surprised this hasn't occurred so far. I have heard no nerd voices in P99 tunnelquest channel, not sure what channel you are in.

AAs would be cool to implement without the rest of Luclin. Would take some balancing though to make sure people didn't become OP with certain AAs vs Velious level content
