This, honestly. I don’t buy tokens with gold, but I cannot even begin to imagine how people that do are going to scrape by as it stands now. People who sit in the AH may not see a huge change, but they’re still gonna sit in the AH, because that’s what they do for fun. But people who just want to make their token and then go off into the world to play the game? Posting their auctions is not going to be worth the time to them, and they will move to some other game.

So you’re saying every addon is automated so ban them all? Lol
Automation on blizzard ends is literally doing an action not allowed in the API without input.
Very happy with the changes.
Sure, along with pretty much every other addon in the game, then.
hitting throttle down at about 20 auctions, after another 5-6 more, you’re done for the next 10-15 minutes. yep, all those old world and current mats and leveling gear will be sitting in the bank till this mess is fixed.

I barely use the AH as it is so whatever.
I never said ban it. Just calling it out for what it is. An automated auction post addon.

I would just play a different game at that point. The fluidity of the WoW UI is imo one of its only graces as a game, and always has been.
Personally think WoW would have failed before Wotlk without addons.

I hope Blizzard sees this and implements some or all of these suggestions.
The offered solutions here actually fix the problem of load on the AH and a minority of people adversely affecting the economy.
The current solution, as implemented, will only result in higher prices on everything, for everyone, as goblins quit or reduce their inventory and posting frequency. Low demand items will become impossible to find on the AH. This change doesn’t just hurt the AH goblins, in the long run it will hurt everyone.

This is makes the auction house almost unusable. It’s not a change that will help the community in any way and it will cause issues for a lot of us.

Yes, but unironically. Removing PVP would solve soooooo many problems.

This is a stupid change.

And again, whatever.
Unlike you I actually like people having things to do in game so it continues to receive money and development.
Though I’d totally jump on a PvE only mmo if it was stated from the start there would be no pvp.

Big gigantic “No”.
Set it on fire and let it burn to ashes.

This is unacceptable. I ran into this Budget while posting less than 20 items using TSM.
All addons are designed to give a competitive advantage over those who don’t use them. Be it addons that mark nodes on the map, boss timers, or things like bartender.
If there is a performance issue arising from the auction house since the redesign then perhaps you should reach out to the addon authors and coordinate with them, we know they’ve been reaching out to you. Some of these issues could be alleviated with different design decisions or API updates
This current “fix” is unacceptable and effectively neuters my enjoyment of the game

I have seen them get undercut while I was standing at the AH
I keep seeing reports of the AH being slower now, even before the what the budget is actually supposed to be.
Does anyone here think its possible that Blizzard somehow designed a throttle that actually takes resources to run, and takes more resources to use than it ever could save?
