Is it too early/late to improve the AH?

I'm really glad the AH came out, but I'm also really disappointed in the system chosen. There are so many minor, irritating mistakes in the implementation of it that it's driving me up the wall to use it compared to the ones in World of Warcraft and Vindictus.

1) Stop resetting the preferences every time I close and open the Auction House. It's very irritating to have to click "Buy Price" on the sorting menu and switch the Duration away from "Four Hours" every. Single. Time.

2) Remove bidding for stackable items and change the buyout from a "total buyout only" price to both a buyout of individual items, and the total buyout. So for example if someone puts up 30 of an item for 3000 crowns, you can choose to buy 7 of them for 700 crowns, and someone else can come along and buy another 15 for 1500, or someone could just buy all 30 for 3000 as normal. When the items are listed, they should show the buyout-per-item where the current "bid" is shown, and the total buyout below that.

3) The listing fees are kind of wonky depending on how long you put the item up for, and are way too high for many of the items. I'm not sure what kind of formula is being used, but putting it up for half the price you're hoping for is a terrible gamble. Many times the listing fee for materials is higher than the market value of them. We're talking about 50 crown listing fees for items that are selling for 20 or less. My only suggestion for this is to just remove the listing fee from low star materials altogether. Keep it in for 4-5 star mats.
