I agree completely with those who have issues with the new bazaar/ barter system. Granted there had been lag problems before, but "hide all traders" was available to reduce lag. Now one spends more time moving around the new "digs" than ever before. And where is everybody? Just now there were 185 traders when usually there are 300 at this hour.
As a first time player still under level 50, I have a special problem, because few people want to buy what a pre-level 50 can obtain. However, until now, I was always able to sell some items...but I just had my character spend 48 hours in the bazaar and NOTHING sold...not even roots, which I sell at 1 gold each.
Perhaps barter is better, but hey, do I really want to spend my precious awake and on-line time trying to sell stuff? And it ends up needing the right combination of seller and buyer choosing to go into the barter hall at the same time. I don't know about you, but population on the server I'm on is dropping so badly that that becomes less and less likely.
Things are becoming more and more difficult for us newbies...for example...I haven't found anyone to do a LDON with at my level for over a month...Goodbye any hope of getting pack shrew...
Well, that was the negative. Can't say much positive yet...havent seen guild hall function yet for my guild; since I'm not high enough level, most of the expansion isn't available yet.
