AH is absurdly slow, borderline unusable

What is causing this and why is Blizzard completely silent about it? Ever since pre-patch, the AH has been so slow that it’s almost unusable. And it just keeps getting worse and worse every single day.

Here, I recorded it:

Took literally 9 minutes to post 4 stacks of netherweave cloth.

How slow is it going to get before we get some kind of blue post about it? It’s seriously embarrassing that a multi billion dollar game dev put out such a broken game and takes weeks/months to respond to issues like this.

feel lucky if you actually get a blue response. cherish it. make a copy and hang it on your wall as a trophy.
i hope they fix it to

fug, I meant to post this in the TBC forum

oh well it’ll get extra visibility here I guess

I posted a bunch of stuff last night. Are you sure it isn’t your addon?

It’s not the addon, even with all addons disabled, the AH still takes forever to browse through each page of search results.

Hmm might be your server then. Is anyone else on that server experiencing this?

Look around the forums, man. TONS of people are complaining that the AH is slow. It’s not just one server, it’s ANY server with high population.

I have and also have seen people saying they haven’t had the issue as well. I’m not saying you’re wrong just isn’t as abundant as you’re making it out to be either.

“I haven’t been experiencing the problem therefor it is just a minority and not a problem”

Leave.

“I’ve been experiencing a problem therefor it must be a problem for everyone”

Sorry to have upset you lol get over yourself.

@Monkybull

But no, keep going on about how it’s just one person having issues

My entire guild took a raid break to get more consumables, every single person complained about how long it was taking and how broken the auction house was.

Probably coincidence though.

It’s probably being caused by the TSM4 add-on that, by default, only lists single-stack items. People just download add-ons and never learn how to use them. They just go to the auction house and keep posting a thousand single auctions for one linen cloth. This is why there is a wall of single items and over 100,000 auctions going at one time.

It’s obnoxious for sure. I hope this gets some attention from Blizz. I like using the AH but it takes sooo much time right now.

This right here.

Caught my bf putting up 400 netheweave cloth 1 piece at a time because he would get more profit from it and not in a stack.

He got the belt for that one.

I just tried searching for an item, in the DEFAULT AH - auctionator disabled - and at the time of me posting this reply, it has been searching for the item for 8 mins now and has not returned any results. Blizzard REALLY needs to look into this.

up up up!!! They need to fix it asap!!!

You could just search the cloth and sort from high to low see what it’s going for and post it that way. You’re choosing to scan every auction. Sorry your addon is slow. There’s other ways to do this.

It is becoming more apparent by the day that Activision doesn’t care about the game or the subscribers.
