IIRC it wasn't immediately implemented? I quit very shortly after Luclin for a while because I felt the PvP immune zones had wrecked the game. Came back and played PvE after that...
The issue with the bazaar was it gave us, metaphorically, Internet shopping. Is shopping even remotely the same now as it was even 10 years ago? No way... back then you had to go to the store, call them on the phone or read their ad in the paper. In EQ prices were very temperamental; HUGE difference between being in EC when there are a ton of buyers and when there are very few. As much as it would be a pain, I think removing item links would bring us the rest of the way back to original EQ economy, except that now you can easily tab out and very quickly and reliably find item stats. I used to have to go search on a list by slot on Alla back then...

The bazaar i remember is when you had to sit there, logged in, and people would find you, run to you, and basically buy your wares as if you were a merchant. there was a useful search function and everything. I thought it was a great way to buy and sell, but then again I only started playing in the middle of kunark. I don't really see how this is as horrible as everyone makes it seem; I guess i am not as much of a purist.
