I wonder if it’s possible to group multiple server’s AH’s into “Battlegroups” the way they used to do with PvP battlegrounds?

If I need it, I have a character who can farm it. This is just what you have to do on small servers.
I think they should just do one mega-server for each (actual) region, but that’s me.

Almost as if every realm has a different economy. On his server there is demand for mats, so there is an opportunity for someone to make a lot of gold.
i made a crapton of gold on a seriously dead alli side server forever theones who were there seemed to hate farming then they merged horde/alli ah ruined that. all they need to do is just merge away instead of doing a poor job when they do it get it done and over with. there top priority should be this for next expansion get it done and over with problem solved.
Most commodities are controlled by AH campers that arbitrage and corner markets.
They sit on a lot and trickle some out at a high price until someone starts to compete with them, then they start dumping and driving prices down, then they buy it up. Rinse and repeat.
Combining would help some but until they fix the fundamental problems with the AH and commodities it’s just going to be “Some” depending on how much those types of players collude.

This does bother me at times,the mat are determined by how many players are on a server farming so the smaller the server the less mats generate. If they do merger so server it wouldn’t help it because it t matters how many are farming at one time.
sure. but it’s weird nobody has noticed that, isn’t it?
Yup,it’s all calculated on auto.
On a dead server not really as much as you’d think. On Ravenholdt during Legion I ran the enchanting market for half a year and things just did not really sell.
There’s less supply and also far less buyers. Most people with a brain move to higher populated servers because of the convenience.

that’s a good point too. tough to sell consumables and 262 legos if nobody is raiding or running m+
No.
Just merger servers.
NEXT!
Semper Fi!

Basically, yes, it takes way too many ore to farm yourself. Getting from 225-235 base items requires 100 essences per item x 15 items, so 1500 essences. Prospecting 1000 ore gives you about 60 essences. So I would need to farm 25,000 ore at about 4.5 ore per node, which is about 5,500 nodes for each slot. And that’s just for the last last level of the recipe; you still have to get the first two levels done.

awesome opportunity for you to make gold gathering though.
and no, merging AHs across the region is a terrible idea and one thankfully even blizzard would recognize as a terrible idea because their game can’t handle the auction house on the largest server even now.
Please for the love of holy mecha Thrall no 
I’m still here! 
I don’t box farm though so you guys are screwed 
I’d rather this not happen either 
I’m quite happy on my dead realms, it’s nice and quiet 
How about free transfers for people off the realms if they don’t want to be there

You’d think so but it doesn’t really work that way either. The actual sale prices aren’t that much different than on large servers because it just doesn’t make mathematical sense to pay 100g per ore. People can list it for that but no one will buy it. And if they do there are a lot fewer buyers and it can take all week to move a bunch of ore at high price; whereas, on a large server you can sell 3 things for half the price in the time it takes you to sell 1 thing at twice the price on a small server.
I play on dead rp servers - some things you just have to sell differently because the deposit fees are too high.
not really, on large servers you are getting undercut constantly.
And when you say no one you mean “not many” I’ve certainly bought 300g ore before because even at 300g it is still worth it to avoid having to farm it myself.
And while we’re here, Blizz, bump up the spawn rate for Titanium and Khorium ore bros come on.
Yes, “not many” but it’s a lot “not many”. I could sell 10x as fast at 40g on a big server as at 200g on a small server.
