Allow AH access on the hardcore server

It made sense to have this restriction in place when it was a challenge but being on it's own server it would make sense to allow unrestricted AH access. Also trading unrestricted by level would make sense.

It would help players quite a bit.

I've been trying to buy 2 light leather for the past 2 days, lol

So, most people are going to say no to this! However, personally I'd be on board to an extent...with regards to trading i think they should make a slight adjustment. I think they should remove the 5 lvl requirement IF both characters are of the same account...this would at least eliminate the need for trade chains but still uphold the original intent of the rule.

Id be fine with them enabling the AH BUT it should only be for like lvl 58+

I'm really supportive of this if we get a new self-found challenge where you can't trade or use AH or send/receive items/gold through the mail until level 60.

Id also like to see some sort of change regarding this on the grounds that trade chains exist to circumvent this "rule" in the first place. Its hardly fair that it only applies to people that dont have hundreds? Of hours to spend to get around it, or is gatekept at the discretion of those that do. Either the rule should acrually be enforced, which would mean policing trade chains or middlemen, which seems like entirely too much work, or it should be changed.

At the VERY least, in the current state, the auction house should be open for level 55-60. Having to be online at the same time as someone selling what you need while theyre spamming world chat / available for trades doesnt add anything of value. Let people list the items they have when they have time, and let people actually be able to find them when they have time.

Adding an official self found challenge would be good regardless.
