Lordaeron - Link both factions' auction house

[atbatb]

I suggest linking the Alliance and the Horde auction houses of both wotlk realms.
I put Lordaeron on the title because I don't know if Icecrown has linked auction houses. If it doesn't have then both should have.

Prices will be better adjusted, like in any free market economy: more trading volume is better.
Will improve item availability and more competitive prices. Better buyer satisfaction.
Will have a larger consumer base to which sellers can sell which means more selling opportunities. Better seller satisfaction.
Gives a feeling of the realm being very active.

Some limitations, however, could be put in place.
Like not allowing an account to buy it's own auctions if done with a character of the opposite faction.
And maybe not showing the name of the seller or the buyer (when it comes in the mail) if the seller/buyer is from the other faction. Could set the name to "Unknown", as this wouldn't break any addons that may make use of this auction house buyer/seller name and would be a good "fit" for role-playing purposes.

On retail nowadays the auction houses are linked between factions, blizzard made a good decision in this aspect, I suggest warmane do so as well.

I remember some years ago the wotlk realms here had linked auction houses and it worked pretty well.

Not sure if it is appropriate to bump but didn't see anything against doing it in this section's rules.

So..... BUMP
I'll keep bumping very few days until I get tired or some staff/mod tells me to stop. I'll be doing this because then I'll know that someone has actually read the suggestion.
Also would appreciate if in the case a staff member/mod does respond they state whether they forwarded/rejected/accepted the suggestion.

We have no plans to do this as of now.
