Just add a 10 minute cooldown between buying something and relisting it.
3 party app should not be useable with an addon. I am sure you were fine with the old HB as well before blizzard shut it down

Honestly, the AH should not allow ANY addon interaction.

That’s what I am saying!
The TSM Desktop Application (the TSM App) keeps your addon data up-to-date and provides access to powerful TSM website features such as group-based notification emails, custom item pages, and much more. It also provides features such as Accounting exports and automatic backups of your TSM settings.
Raiderio has a desktop app, so does elvui, and Wago for weakauras, and warcraftlogs. If you are too simple minded to understand what a desktop app does then i can’t help you. Rage on little buddy!

A difference of opinion isn’t the same as rage or anger.
How about having one type of each gathered material instead of 3? The problems start there and keeps going, just like Locomotive Breath.

its not a difference of opinion, again you are factually incorrect. It can be verified and proven that you are incorrect. Being incorrect to the degree you are isnt an opinion.

I’m not a massive AH person, but I turned off autoscan on Auctionator.

I don’t know all the inner workings of TSM but I think it should be a little better about these things? My hunch based on what features are and aren’t available with the desktop app is that it’s using one account per world to scan AHs that report to a central database for everyone. Think like the Undermine Journal or Gazette or whatever it’s called now, the site where you can price check the AH on any server.

Wrong. I’m not a fan of TSM since it’s overly complicated but I use Auctionator everyday.

How would that fix it when the addons weren’t a problem before? They already said they are gonna fix the issue with the next maintenance.

Cool. You can be dismissive of my opinion all you want, Just gonna ignore you from now on.
These posts are ridiculous because you don’t know if that is the cause.
From what Ive seen, blizz messed up some coding in the backend which they are working on and this is completely unrelated to addons entirely.
If you want to make an anti addon post. Go for it. But grasping at straws to make it happen just makes me shake my head.

Anything that allows scanning of the AH, in my opinion, should not be allowed. I know this is how a lot of players make a lot of money, but it’s a nightmare for those of us who just want prices to remain more-or-less stable.
It is unbelievably frustrating to just want to buy some herbs and the stacks I’m trying to buy keep getting pulled by addons and reposted.

Or the people with sniping addons & people trying artifactually keep prices high

Scanning is not the problem… that’s already been explained numerous times.
Then buy from a slightly more expensive stack. It’s an MMO at expansion launch. When FF14 launched one a couple weeks ago I had materials being grabbed from under me because someone else bought them while I was looking at the price listing. Unless it actually updates in real time (it won’t) this is just how new content launches are.

AH scans per se are from the Blizzard Web API and have no direct impact on in-game APIs. These are just static data that is updated once per hour (nominally).

If it were that simple, I would absolutely do that, and frequently I will buy items that are whole numbers because I hate (with the passion of a thousands suns) when people undercut by a copper or whatever.
Right now, however, I’m trying to buy some Luredrop. The silver quality herbs are fluctuating in price anywhere from 20g to 77g. That’s NOT a “slightly more expensive” purchase. Using that logical, I’d have buy at 100g or more to prevent the rapid fluctuation I’m seeing - and honestly, that’s not worth it.
It’s a bad system, and you won’t convince me otherwise. I’m with the OP - Blizz needs to step in at this point and end the scripting gravytrain.
You clearly don’t understand the problem. The API is already limited and addons that can post or buy items quickly are throttled so that they’re only able to perform actions at the same rate as an ordinary player. Blizzard has already addressed the cause of the issue, and believe it or not, it isn’t addons.
