I support global Usershop searching, item for item trading, Egg Usershops. Anything that would let users buy things for set-in-stone prices.
There's also too much Pc in the economy rn and hoards keep bringing more in (not newbie hoards though, those are very very small amounts before a player has a few lvl100s/an evolved pet or two), and a lot of it is in the hands of established accounts. Unless a small account gets lucky and gets a rare item/ egg on a hoard and then gets lucky to find a buyer on the auction house that decides to overpay for it, newbies really don't have a chance to get good things unless they wait for their own pets to bring them. Not to mention I agree with all the frustrations people expressed with engaging in bidding in the first place.
