Could we maybe get the long description of items in the auction house when
viewing an item? As it is, you only get the short description from the
listing, which leads to it not being used at all for anything over 20k worth
(since we can't validate that an item is what it appears to be, or what the
seller is trying to make you think it is). I know there's other ways to sell
things, but the auction house is fairly useless right now because of this. :/

The auction house is rather outdated in more ways than that, it could use a
total redoing. At the moment, no wizard has had time to pick up the task
though, it would require quite a bit of tinkering, maybe incorporating it with
the broker command and all. Will be done when someone has the time I guess,
but as it is, just sell your cheap stuff in there if you're afraid of
cheaters.

Done. Old items WILL NOT have the long desc only NEW items will.
