Won't affect me at all... there was a lot of whining, still not sure why. I get all my AHing done and everything else done just fine without a hearthstone. Only time I ever use my hearth is to transport back from org to Dalaran after making an AH run which I do about once every 2-3 days (haven't ever had a need to use the AH more than once every 2-3 days much less every hour or less).
