I am wondering about something: I think the plan is to let players be able to browse the AH's across the world from one spot (since else someone else would offer such functionality out of game anyway)....

I believe the plan is every AH is local only.

The One in Talonguard does not have access to the one in ThornKeep as an example.

I believe the eventual plan is that we can see what is in other auction houses but not buy it, or perhaps that buying from the auction house deposits the purchase in the bank where the auction was posted from. I think (hope?) there are similar plans for the banks.

There is no good way to split a large stack of items. If you have a couple thousand silver ore and want to trade two hundred to a friendly neighborhood smelter, you click on your stack of silver ore two. hundred. times. And likely as not you click just a bit too fast and wind up dumping your whole supply into the trade window, and have to start all over again.

(For some reason, clicking quickly on a stack never seems to move the whole thing when you want it to, as when dumping inventory to the bank. But that's another matter.)

As it turns out, the technology for splitting stacks is already in game! With a little slider bar and a number and everything. Perfect!

The problem is that this tech only applies to trashing items from your inventory.

Thus cometh the terrible, bad way to split stacks! Simply toss some amount on the ground (with the ease and convenience of a slidey stack-splitting bar), trade or deposit the remainder, then pick the trash back up.
...it is probably obvious why I call this way terrible.

So, a request to GW: can we just get that slider bar for every stack click-and-drag? It would be wonderful to split large stacks quickly, easily and without significant risk of accidentally deleting our stuff.

Is there any singular aspect of this game that you personally feel is done well?

Nope, not particularly!

I could answer this question about almost every MMO I've played and enjoyed on any level.

Cool! I can't say the same, myself.

I think answering your precise question would require me to conduct a complete survey of every MMO or near-MMO on the market, which I am not prepared to do.

I play this game (well, this alpha) because I enjoy it.

Are there games out there I would enjoy as much, or more? Possibly. Probably, even. But I know the crowd playing PFO, and like the community, and that's enough reason for me to stick with it even if you don't want to credit that to Goblinworks.
