Any TSM4 Replacement Addon?

I’m done with TSM4.

Almost everytime I try to repost my auctions something breaks. Either it somehow lost connection to the TSM App, or the Maximum Price value is incorrect (despite me not having changed that since 2021), or it keeps doing the ‘‘Nope, you can’t use your Hearthstone, an error has occured, turn TSM off or deal with it.’’

Getting help from their Discord has never proven useful in the past, and at this point, I cba to even try. Since Dragonflight, it’s been broken more than it has worked for me, even after multiple cleans and reinstalls. I’m done.

Is there -any- other addon, that can post multiple auctions at once? I don’t need a mailing or crafting extension, just that. Bonus points if it checks if it’s a good price for my items, but I can do that manually too.

TSM is a bit of a clown show. Just use Auctionator. It’s not as “advanced”. But its still a hell of a lot better than TSM.

No it isn’t. Yikes.

To OP, watch a youtube video about your operation settings and just leave them forever. It doesn’t need to be connected to the desktop thing all the time. I’ve had hiccups with it too but for the most part it’s been fine.

The problem with TSM is that it’s really not user-friendly. There’s a process involved just for basic setup and if you don’t know a lick of programming, you’re left to scratch your head and hope you’re doing something feasible.

Any add-on that has to depend on a separate program running and using up more RAM on your computer is a no-bueno from me.

Did that. Worked before DF. Broke down after. Tried again multiple times, to no avail.

It doesn’t post multiple auctions in one go though. I do have that one as backup, but tbh the current base AH kinda does the same as Auctionator nowadays, atleast for what I want out of auctioning addons.

I can’t be bothered with 90% of TSM tools I just use it to see up to date prices on materials I’ve come across while out leveling alts.

I agree!

If you had asked me about TSM during Classic or up to Shadowlands, I would have said nothing is better! I pay for my account.

But it is useless with the Dragonflight crafting interface. The “group setup” does not work correctly, so there is no posting from the established user-created groups on their website.

I still get an error on Bags when I do a shift click to empty my bags. I know it concerns whatever “TAINT” Blizzard has caused. But I know other add-ons who have already fixed the problem. But this is when I finally said ENOUGH—canceling the account and getting other add-ons.

I have reported the bag issue several times, giving them the step-by-step process each time it occurs in their little black in-game box. But I have never seen any changes.

I joined their Discord to see if there was any additional information. Finally, I am hoping to help; in their bug section, I posted the previous steps that caused the error and cut and pasted the printout from BugSack. Something EVERY OTHER ADDON PROGRAMMER wants you to give them. All it got me was someone telling me NEVER to do that again, and they only wanted the step-by-step actions that caused the problems. I was in Black/White Box Testing for years. I don’t know any programmer who does not wish to see the code error AND the steps. I assume they were yelling at me because it was all capital letters.

I left the group that day.

I’m finally replacing TSM with some of these add-ons. I don’t know if they will all work, but I am pretty positive they are all lighter on my system than TSM. I’m sure this will take some tweaking over the next few months.

  • Mail Commander — Not as aggressive as TSM, but still pretty useful.

  • Journalator — Keep track of all my sales and purchases

  • Auctioneer — I used this with great success in Classic, and I see it is back in beta, so I’m hoping. This and Auctionator will give me all the options I need, including tracking the auction prices in my item window. If I remember correctly, there are some sniper features as well. The only difference between this, Auctionator, and TSM is that you HAVE to go to the auction house at the beginning of play time to get current prices since there is no application running on the backside.

  • LinkWrangler — for Auctioneer. It helps to keep track of all the other data information sales history and percentage sold in certain time frames.

  • Accountant — I already use this because I work with the main programmer, who has made changes per my request.

At this point, I don’t think there will be a professions-related addon, at least not one I can find. There are too many Blizzard side problems. Only some crafting items are used if they are in the bank, and it is never consistent. It is nothing like it was in Shadowlands or before.

This could be because they are completely overhauling the banks for The War Within, where we will have combined Alt banks. (YAY!). This may be why all the crafting is done so close to the bank in Valdrakken.

If you don’t mind continuing to read, I wanted to suggest other addons you will probably LOVE!

  • Peta— You know how it is such a pain when you get a pet drop and have it in your pet journal first and then put it in a cage. This addon puts them directly into a cage when they enter your bags.

  • Plumber— This is for the Dream area, where planting dream seeds is the goal. No more opening your bag when you need to plant. When you step next to a mound, you get a small interface with all the available dream seeds to plant. When you click on the plant itself, it gives you another interface to make it easier.

  • Quick Delete—This will save you a lot of time. Why do we have to go through several dialog boxes to delete something when it doesn’t sell and we just want to drop it out of our bags? This gives you one dialog box instantly, and that is it—nothing more. It would be best to be sure that is what you want to delete items. So go slow initially.

I hope these extra suggestions help!

Happy Questing,

omg I need this :heart:

Running the desktop addon isn’t required. It just allows reasonably up to date pricing data on items so you don’t have to go to the AH to scan.

You can always choose to run a full AH scan, or just look up a specific item, as with any other AH program.

I will agree that the frequent TSM addon errors that randomly pop up when you click an item in your bag, preventing you from using that item or using abilities is a big annoyance.

I don’t know how many times I’ve clicked to put on a phial from my bag while the M+ countdown timer is going, and then have to quickly /reload UI just so I can play.

I don’t know how to reliably replicate this error, but it happens pretty frequently. It feels like once a play session, or close to it.
