I would be fine with this if we were trading in-house items -- i.e., glimmer or such and not real cash. We'd specify what item the auction had to offer, set a minimum price, face a percentage given to the auction house and away we go. If you don't have anything good to trade, you can't participate. So you still have to earn something and now we have a way to get around the RNG -- which doesn't involve earning anything. I got Gjallerhorn the first time I did the VoG out of a chest. I know people who have played way more hours than me who still don't have this exotic. I was insanely fortunate and yes I'm happy about it. Someone else who has two should be able to sell or auction one -- not just grind it up into an insanely small number of parts in comparison.
