Auction house changes, yay or nah?

Blizzard has said nothing about a mousewheel/click lol

And it has nothing to do with the mousewheel, it’s just easier on the fingers that way. You can still only post once every 300 ms or so, which is easily within click range, but if you’re posting a bunch it starts to cramp your finger.

You are a moron, it’s more convenient to roll the mouse, the inputs aren’t accepted any faster than clicking

Off topic here, but I absolutely love your name. Very clever.

Already with the name calling! Guess blizzard made the correct choice, I really do hope they disable TSM completely.

Seriously, have you even used TSM? With your 590 achievement points, you just started playing the game.

But it does sell… Anyone who sells here could post their ledger to prove it.

You guys realize that us standing in the auction house for hours longer than we previously had to, or opening up multiple accounts is exactly what Blizzard wants right? Even if you’re only posting 100 auction at a time, imagine how much more in game time that is over a month. This is what the Blizzard data guys dream of, all that sweet sweet time played metric, and opening of multiple accounts.

I have this little button in my account enabled under display > only show character achievements. I do have TSM! But I only use it for price info, I still manually post everything like a regular person with maybe 50 auction posts a day between all characters.

The problem Blizzard has with the AH isn’t space - that’s effectively endless. And most transmog items aren’t being canceled for reposting, so they won’t account for much of the traffic, either.

It’s the high demand item jujutsu (canceling and reposting) that generates most of the traffic.

So, you specifically right click every item in your bag to post because… reasons?

Like, if blizzard had an auction queue system we wouldn’t even need TSM or the like, for the most part.

A lot of what I have posted is transmog, either from drops or crafted. it’s probably 1500 pieces of transmog armour from drops, LW, BS, and Tailoring. TSM helps me know when to re-craft an item to keep one up on the AH. Some people don’t think that a Legion green that’s only valued at 500g is worth posting on the AH cause it takes forever to sell and that’s not worth their time so they vendor or DE it. It does take forever to sell, but I posted that 500g transmog item instead, just incase.

Well, considering the load a ‘minority’ of users are causing doing something similar with TSM Wirt… I don’t think that’d be worth it and there’s a reason you have to manually list things. Which I’m fine with. Stop listing thousands of auctions a day, maybe?

This change is completely unfair and unnecessary. Punishing people for using addons to make their experience more streamlined and efficient is a flawed train of logic. For some people the AH and goldmaking is an entire aspect of the game, not just using the AH to buy health pots for raid that night. Goldmaking is just as important as questing, dungeoning, raiding, pvping.

People can choose from thousands of addons to enhance the aspect of the game they enjoy, making their gameplay more effecient.

So, if we follow this logic then raiders who use addons like DBM or Weakauras should be penalized because they use an addon that makes raiding easier while other people choose not to use such addons. Could you imagine everytime a raider uses DBM in a boss encounter, there being a penalty, like skewing the timing or availability of alerts of the next mechanic? No. Why? Because that’s insane.

Is there something wrong with this??? It’s what I do.

We’re not the ones putting a load on the system, it’s the people out there cancel scanning. If they put a limit on canceling we wouldn’t be here complaining.

If anything, you were using a lot of ah bandwith basicly, now if you want to pay for it with multiple accounts feel free.

The biggest thing is the difference between using the addon and the game without it. You guys should ask for those features to be added to the game baseline. But this feature like many has said will remove a lot of crap that doesn’t sell much and for me that isn’t a bad thing. Why is there tabs of grey items? xd

Oh, I wasn’t aware you had all the Data Wirt! Care to share with the class?

Exactly why using addons can be helpful. The few items I crafted made enough for a few months worth of tokens. And I wasn’t playing that much BfA.

I mean, you believe what you want, I’m not going to sit here and argue with you, but yes, cancel scanning is the problem if there is actually a problem.

Though this was never a problem before and is suddenly a problem.
