Blizzard gladly took a piece of every real money auction and have at least some obligation on that basis alone. The idea that the AH was nixed to enhance the game play for those that mostly did not use it is actually pretty amazing and something they should have considered at the time they built the game. I understand that expansions change the dynamics and that game play, toon strength, gear attributes, etc. will be adjusted with patches and so on. That said, removal of the AH and the ability to trade loot is not nibbling around the edges. It's a fundamental change in the structure of the game that is to the detriment of anyone who spent real money or wanted to play at advanced levels quickly instead of putzing around forever trying to find very good / great gear.

Those items you bought off the RMAH are sunk costs. They don't matter now.
