These changes were done without thought to the actual player.
I had a better experience with the laggy AH than I do with the throttled AH, and that’s something that shouldn’t happen.
Yet another bad experience brought on by Blizzard knee-jerk fixing something.
If the AH UI wasn’t dogwater then we wouldn’t need addons for it. Maybe give us the retail AH that is literally superior in every way and this problem wouldn’t exist.
Yes, and you can see other people who have posted in other threads having 0 problem on “megaservers”.
You think we don’t run into throttling? I have it happen when trying to post literally 1 item via TSM, because TSM is coded extremely inefficiently. If I manually post it via the base UI I have 0 problems.
This is nonsense. I don’t use TSM so I won’t comment on whether or not its efficient or inefficient. But I can say without a doubt that the base UI is not any faster than any addon I’ve tried. The base UI is just as laggy and broken and even more so because each operation takes longer to do because its manual.
Laggy vs. constantly yielding errors when trying to post. I get 8-10 errors in a row trying to post 1 item sometimes via TSM but it always works first try with default.
Yeah, thats called throttling. Blizzard has literally admitted this…
And it happens because TSM uses up a million API calls when scanning/posting that you get rate-limited right away.
you said you post hundreds of items “every hour or so” with “no errors/throttle” and then you said you get lots of error time outs so what is the truth
It happens because Blizzard is running megaservers on hardware meant to run a quarter of the amount of people on a crappy AH built for far less people at a time from 20 years ago instead of giving us the superior retail AH that has already solved all of these issues and blaming addons instead of their own decisions.
I didn’t say with no errors, I said I’m actually able to post them. I have to deal with the errors and have learned a lot about TSM in the process, such as how it has virtually no error handling for canceling auctions, how it rescans items you’re selecting after it had already scanned them to begin with, etc.
Like go do this if you use TSM. Go scan a few items you want to buy, then try buying something. You’ll get an error. Click the default UI toggle and you’ll see the specific item you’re trying to buy because it just rescanned that item as you tried to buy it. You can buy it via the default frame no problem.
Is there any updates on this at all? Auction house is still unusable for me.
The ingame AH is garbage and addons are unusable after this throttling adjustment. Absolutely braindead change. How do we pay $15/mo for this?
Well that is part of the story. The real issue is using an API designed for a modem and not making it handle the actual number of queries that modern players need.
Why is blizzard default AH UI so terrible? We shouldnt need addons to sort highest to lowest price
Well that’s just not true. I don’t think hyperbole helps. Obviously you have drank the Blizzard kool aid. As always the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Only Blizzard has the rhetorical high ground. They can blame any performance issues, poor redesign decisions, and resultant loss of functionality on the scape goat de jour. AH addons in this case.
You better not be using any macros hunter! We don’t want you using any one button solutions.
So it was too hard to setup and now no one should use it?
Please blizzard, fix this.
It’s horrible. Sucks all the fun out of the professions. I understand throttling a user after EXCESSIVE scanning but this is just so horrible atm.
This cannot be bumped enough
