WoW's market is just so f*cked right now. They need to make some big changes to it.
As much as I love them, they should really break Auction addons. After that, they need to vastly reduce the number of mats that you get from a node, and probably reduce the frequency of those nodes as well.
They also need to look hard at the purpose of professions. Because, right now, only enchanting really seems legitimate. Alchemy is sorta that case too, but less so, since people only really buy one product from it.
If you think AH add-ons are bad because of the ability to easily undercut what's being listed... that's going to happen with or without AH add-ons. It's annoying watching people list hundreds of singles of item x, y, or z, but an add-on like Auctionator can cut through that pretty quick.
As for nerfing gathering, I think that's a terrible idea. No one wants to spend hours searching for nodes just to make a single recipe. What I would like to see instead is the ability to salvage items that have been crafted. That way, people that are power-leveling their crafting skills won't be dumping tens or hundreds of items on the Ah for less-than cost.
