The fees to sell items in the auction will stay the same. And since you do not pay rent or have to feed your toon, there is no "cost of living". There is only cost of gear.
You cannot increase the supply of gear and at the same time make farming more viable. Increasing the supply of gear (making it drop more often) will lower the prices that gear can be sold for, and thus farming for those items will not be more viable. The only way to make farming more viable without making gear drop in value is to increase gold drops. This may result in prices for gear rising, but since cost of feeding your pet and buying potions will remain the same, farming will become more viable.
