Honestly, how many problems would some type of auction house or centralized trading system solve? Of course it takes some measure of development but add up all the time that's been spent on these "fixes" (quotes, dwarven ale, added traders, etc) and you quickly realize that time could have been better spent developing a major trading interface. Especially in light of the fact that all of these "fixes" have either failed miserably or have serious drawbacks.
Either you've got time to do it right, or you've got time to do it over again. Only problem is ANet keeps making the same mistakes.
