Auction House Issues on Some Burning Crusade Classic Realms

WoW Classic WoW Classic Bug Report

The retail AH changes can basically be summed up in:

  • Back-end was made more efficient, causing less errors and hangs (better database stuff)
  • UI was changed, so that you an actually see everything listed, as sorted by how many at the exact same price

For example, if something like Netherweave, that stacks at 20, and some seller has 3 stacks of 20, another person sells a single stack of 13, all at 1g per Netherweave, you can buy exactly 70 Netherweave at that price, and not have to buy 73.

Also, if you see someone posting 300 knothide leather ONE AT A TIME, FOR 300 STACKS, you can just put in how many you want to buy (purchase 200 knothide leather), instead of buying one at a time.

So it’s fantastic for buyers, and still simple for sellers.

I’d suggest looking at a screenshot in google, if you wanna see it for yourself.

(Yes I oversimplified it, but this is just the jist of it)

Thanks, Kaivax.

Let’s get the Classic AH fixed. There are plenty of folks who prefer it to the retail AH.

Please ban anyone who posts 2,000 runecloth or netherweave in single auctions on the AH for abuse of the economy.

Also fine them 50% of their gold.

I still cant post any auctions. I disabled all my addons and I still keep getting internal error. It’s been almost a week now that I’ve had this issue. Not to mention how laggy its been since prepatch. Fix it or I’m unsubbing.

Kaivax, you should be able to solve this without resorting to throttling or throwing hardware at the problem. Do a rearchitecture of the backend if you have to. It will be worth it. Do stress tests and look at your queries to see where you can optimize. Use your indices. This is a software problem. Treat it like one and don’t resort to throttling. You don’t need to.

necro’d post but just wanted to say blizzard has literally done nothing to address this a year later. Benediction has auction house lag which makes it unusable at times. that is just not acceptable.
