I feel like the site was designed to offer services to the player base. The bazaar as well. The bazaar has since become a headache for the admins because frankly all people do is complain. In my opinion it has turned from a safe place to sell stuff, if you use common sense and deal with certain people, to a forum that the admins have to babysit each and every sale because IN MY OPNION* people are too stupid to use common sense these days.. As much as I dislike the decision to seperate the bazaar, I really don't blame them.
My 2cents.

That being said, Im pretty sure redbot and the others are creative and intelligent enough to have enough traffic maintained through redguides.
People need to stop expecting so much.
Based on what I see, a majority of "sales' are on agnarr, where mq2 isn't even useable. So if the income is through mq2 itself and subscriptions (to my understanding, im sure there is more to it)....1+1 = Headache
No disrespect to the OP, but simply do business with verified members only if it is an issue for you mate. Problem solved.
If you are upset to see the amount of scams that go on and people get burnt, frankly I am to. All we can do is warn people to use their best judgement, deal with verified people, and if they choose not to, as much as it sucks, it's their own fault.
What they currently do and have done is already a blessing in disguise.
