Auction House Performance Issue - Updated September 1

If the calls from 1 person are low impact… How impactful is it if the calls are from a thousand? Thousands?

Again, all I’m hearing is a rumor but it makes sense. While the calls from 1 person are low impact, if enough people simultaneously or near simultaneously are performing calls against a variety of items… It can definitely lead up to a potential “DDOS” like “attack”. While not intended, it could be whats happening. Especially since all AH’s are now regionwide. It’s not just 1 servers AH being hit with these calls.

On the micro-scale, fine. On the Macro, probably not so much.
