Greetings
I have 8 toons on Deathwing but all of them were on Lordaeron before the apocalypse. I had 12 there before total but 3 were fairly inactive being used for professions, long term storage and such. I'm happier with the 8 I now have and especially fond of the 2 new ones I have on Lordaeron Alpha. Congratulations on its crisp cleanliness. I have seen extremely few bugs. My Warrior there is currently level 23 and it has been a real pleasure generally and has reminded me of why I prefer x1.

However I read with some concern today that you plan for Marketplace to not work and while that's not a dealbreaker by any means (might even be superior) it does make me wonder about Auction House. I am already considerably dismayed that it seems as if Auctioneer addon has been deliberately broken since the problem is so specific. The game and addon can find the item just fine to look up and compare pricing but only cannot find the item when one wishes to post. I have not an inkling of an idea as to why you would prefer to break function in Auctioneer and it is so important to me that I would like to understand the tradeoff.

That said even worse is Auction House complete non-function on Lordaeron and I fear this is meant to continue so I would like to know what the plans are regarding Auction House in general and Auctioneer addon function specifically. Just as in real life the quality of life depends on economics. Non function vastly reduces the value of professions and worse severely impacts important gear such as gems, enchants, item enhancement and glyphs as well as potions, elixirs, flasks and scrolls,

In summary 1) Will Lordaeron full release have working Auction House or remain like it now is complete non function?

2) On any realm will AH be fixed to improve it's bandwidth and especially will Auctioneer remain crippled or be restored?

Thank you for any attention you might give here. This is an extremely important part of gameplay to me as i work all 5 professions on all 8 toons and depend heavily on what commerce I can muster.. I'm a believer in Capitalism for you in management/ownership as well as for players. I may be wrong in my assessment but I imagine Ulduar is largely "bugged" for the purpose of isolating the top available gear on Marketplace and you need to encourage voting. I love Ulduar and wish it could be as functional as ICC but I have no problem in accepting that something somewhere must be limited in order to serve Warmane as a whole. So you won't get ant negativity from me if there is a reasonable similar tradeoff regarding Auction House and Auctioneer.. I look forward to your response but understand you have your hands full and actually need help with just even answering tickets so no rush. people who prefer x1 tend to be patient people :)
