In case you missed it they are bringing the servers down at 6:00am PST on September 25th for maintenance so that they can apply a 30 minute timer to private stores to hopefully reduce or eliminate the queues.

But if this sort of thing is getting implemented, why not just remove the personal stores? A timer kindof defeats the purpose.

I'm all for just removing them. The AH is an easier place for buyers to see who has competitive pricing without having to run all over the place.

The devs said in response to someone that the afk shops were a drop in the bucket and wouldn't have much effect on the actual queues. It is more a PR thing to make us feel good. I still vote to remove stores altogether. Players should have to stand in the tunnel in West Commons and /shout what they have for sale. You kids with your auction houses and brokers.
