Literally causing the AH to be unusable due to the high frequency of their list/unlists automating a billion auctions /sells/buys/dupes per bot per second or whatever.
The only reason AH ever goes down in blizz games is when it either can’t handle what’s being done on it, or what’s being done on it breaks the ToS.
God, I love these AH threads. My personal theory: WoW AH bots were built by the same people who faked the moon landings after they silenced Stanley Kubrick once and for all.
Bots and addons are the go to excuse for these types of things.
Which is hilarious because these posts keep popping up. But none of them can agree which is the cause (and from what I’ve seen it’s a coding issue due to the regional ah and tww updates).
Auction house calls are already rate limited per account, IIRC it’s somewhere in the double digit API calls (which is the same for both base UI and Addons) per minute.
nobody cares. Get some addons and learn to play the AH like everyone else has over the decades. Incredible how much hand holding some of yall want on the forums.
I use TSM to resell all my drops (like 30 or 40 per day) once a day but I think all the addons related to the AH should disappear. Things should be equal for everyone, that include game features working perfect for all players.
I wish I believed all the addon authors could be trusted to minimize the automated queries for AH use and that a performant system could be guaranteed.
