AO is a disaster as is. Cherry picking some ideas will actually work, I have caught the devs before refer to the GMI as the auction house so its safe to say they are already, its which ones that count. You to need to accept many of ao's original ideas are flawed even wow did this when they fixed paladins players had to accept massive redesign and in the end they came out better in almost every area. The game is stagnant. FC has the option to close ao you know? They want this game to make money and be successful any business minded person will see that and just because a bunch of old forum trolls want it to be 2001 again isn't going to stand in the way of progress.
