I hated spending countless hours trying to trade the items that I spend 5 minutes getting.
WoW was freaking awesome about this, I wouldnt mind similar aspects of it.
I liked the BoP and BoE system, although not at first. but I realized that it kept out the flooding of the really high end stuff so getting a rare item would always be worth something.
The auction house....man this was it! I could finally put up all my crap I wanted to sell, and go level! In addition, it created stable prices that were determined by the usefulness to players!
people tried to make D2 like that (jsp etc) but nothing quite compared to the AH in WoW. so yeah, those are my thoughts, if you like soj trading and hate BoP and BoE then you are a noob and dont know how to play D2 or WoW. sojs are olllldddd school (if you have played recently uniques are basically always worth nothing so you dont ever get good unless you duplicate or get freakishly rare items with perfect mods), and gold is easy to get if you dont spend it all on dump blue's and stuff when you are leveling up. The game is not that hard with greens when you are just leveling (WoW)

Not true. Why is it that all the linen cloth, runecloth, mageweave, etc was placed on AH for just slightly more than it sold at normal shops? The item was overabundant and people would sell it for less if the shops bought it for less. Blizzard dictated the worth of that item. BTW this issue has been talked about so much in other threads, and you it's not as easy as you think to just implement a gold economy into a game like Diablo.

cloths are always useful for leveling tradeskills (from tailoring to first aid and some parts engineering or blacksmithing). As long as people want to level alt professions and are too lazy to farm them (becauase they are) they buy the stuff on the Auction House. The prices can vary from the minimum (slightly higher than sold to vendors) to high (double-triple the price, depending on demand and how much is on the Auction House at the time).
That makes checking on the Auction House more interesting. The fact that you might find some really good bargain (how i got the tier 1 epic bracers for 10g was priceless for my pala).
It doesnt suit the Diablo Universe too well, it lacks a currency to work with (since Gold is too easy to get) but it has some really good stuff you could do, too.
