Auction House Only Letting Me Buy Level 80 Gear

When I try and buy anything for my level 70 pally as far as armor/weapons it displays only level 80 gear when I click on the initial results (which show level 70 pieces of gear). Using the filters to only show upgrades and usable gear, even limiting results to 70 and under gear does nothing.

Having the same issue here and it is infuriating. Before the updates, this was never an issue - I’m filtering by Useable and capping at level 70, and while the initial item listing shows the gear as being 70, when you click on it to expand and see all the pieces available under that item name, they’re ALL level 80 and thus unusable. Forces a manual search of every single individual item since the auction house is displaying them as level 70 externally, only to reveal that they’re actually level 80.

Would include an image link visually displaying the issue, but upon creating the image and uploading it, the Blizzard forums notified me that we’re not allowed to do that
why do we have a button in the reply section for links if we aren’t allowed to post links?

I had same issue with level 70

But
 once you get to lvl 71 in filter enter 71 in BOTH boxes and useable
choose your armor and then search

You will see cheap crafted choices for 515-528 pants bracers and boots
then back to misc. and you will find neck cloak and more expensive ring

These upgrades gave me a 50-100% increase in stats ! on my alts

Came to see if anyone else was having this problem; it’s ridiculous. I look for usable gear on my level 73 alt and I get a list of items that all say ‘Requires Level 70,’ only to find they all say ‘Requires Level 80’ in my mailbox. They need to fix this.

Have this issue now too.
Decided to review an old alt.

Went to AH and set to Usable only. And it shows me “Required level 70” on 561ilvl gear
I was like WTFFFF can I get full 80 gear for a 70? ofc not
says cant equip it
duh

So now, I got no idea what I can and cant buy

Have the same issue. Unable to gear up my alts because of this.

Same issue here. The AH says it is available for L70. I select level 65 - 71, usable and upgrade only. The mouse over has L70 green on the item. So I buy a complete kit to upgrade my shabby alt to then find all the gear is unusable till L80. This xp just gets worse and worse as the gear I’d keep in my bank for this alt is all gone per the guild bank eff up. Just about done I think. Ive bought the expansion but my sub is up for renewal on 18 Sept. If this and the guild banks are still effed I’ll unsub until they fix it.

Same issue. Please fix this. This is absolutely absurd. What are y’all doing during all these extra “maintenances”?

Did the same thing Lostinspace entered 71 to 71 usable and upgrade and managed to get 3 upgrades that significantly added to my stats and health. The weird thing is that if I put the range from 70 to 70 it goes back to showing the L80 stuff rather than just level 70.

It seems to be caused by a display bug where it ALWAYS shows that there are level 70 versions of BoE items available even though pretty much no one is selling any level 70 versions of the BoE items.

I did manage to find Draconic gear or whatever on the AH for an undergeared character, but it’s definitely annoying to see all of these level 80 items when trying to get some level 70 gear.

Ahh, 15 days and still no resolution to this. Man I have missed WoW.

bump: I needed a usable weapon for my level 72 rogue due to switching specs and still, it is only showing level 80 items even though I have filters checked to only show usable items and max level 72. It still doesn’t filter out level 80 items: :expressionless:

Also, I didn’t realize this right away, so I essentially wasted a bit of gold because I thought I was buying level 70 items, not level 80.

44 days now, that’s 7 Tuesdays. Well, time to see if I can make any of that gold back on the AH.

yeah there any update to this, because AH is not usable for buying any gear at level 70.

I have the same issue. I see the item. It says level 70. I go to buy it and it still says lvl 70. but when I get it in the mail, required level is 80. Now I have all this gear I can’t use until I reach level 80 and by then I might have better stuff anyway. It’s worthless, and I don’t see blizzard replying to this or saying they will look into it and fix it. I NEED better gear for the War Within. These creatures are too strong and I keep dying. I’m so frustrated.

Seeing same thing, bought some stuff and can’t wear it, double checked and AH just lists it wrong.
