While I agree that it is monopolistic, the simpler answer is this is a player driven economy. Case in point one of my alts has 380 jewel crafting. I don't like going out and mining adamantite ore because it takes too long on my regular flying mount (e.g. 35-45 minutes to complete one harvesting circuit in Netherstorm). So instead I purchase the ore from the AH. In the beginning a stack of adamantite ore went for 20g. I've seen this average slowly increase it over a few weeks to 27g. I have really have no control over this. Blizzard also doesn't have any control over that as well. Oh I'm sure they could come in and "patch" stuff, but the fact is they let players dictate the market... as it should be.
