heck, just having the filters in the existing AH WORK PROPERLY would be super!
As I've said before, everyone finds enjoyment in the games in different ways. Some people like to run about and kill everything they can find. Some people like to be that master tradesman (which is limited by Turbine further when certain recipes and trade skilling tools can't be used unless you reach a certain adventure level). Other people love to sit at that auction house and buy and sell items like stock market day traders. Still others, like the authors at this site, love to turn the game interface into something the developers could never have done on their own.
Every successful mmo in the past has enabled their players to modify the UI to extreme extent. Everquest and Everquest 2 are great examples, but World of Warcraft just blows away the modding community with the scripting and XML system. Dungeon and Dragons Online, which runs the same engine and LoTRO, does not and look where it stands among the mmos... not so hot.
Hopefully Turbine realizes they HAVE to let us smash this UI or they will miss out on a big portion of business. I, for one, won't be playing very much longer if they don't at least promise us much more UI customization via modding.
