Also we stealth broke AH addons so you can no longer use them without telling you=. RIP TSM and Auctioneer.
is it so hard for blizz to just make it so that the AH can only have 1 listing per item (of X number of stacks, as much as needed), if you add a new listing of the same item it just adds to that stack, and allow to buy X number of items from that listing?
ZeroEdgeir. "Future patch" Riiiight. So the AH will be almost useless for over year still. What a relief!
Gratz Bliz, you managed to break all of the auction house addons, none of them are able to post now. Good Job!
Now if they could just fix the guild bank, they are really unusable on heavy servers like Stormrage. It can take 10 minutes to PLACE or TAKE one item in the guild bank.
Hoping this will reduce or kill the "wall" spam goblins use to make profits, which is a big reason why the AH is so laggy.
>Players that faction change will have Battle For Azeroth flight paths after the change.'Bout a week late on that one, Blizz.:(
So is it punishing selling things that actually only stack to one too? Like weapons and stuff like that instead of just materials in 1 stacks?
This AH deposit cost increase is a total mess. If I need to buy, let say, 5 items, why should I buy 200 and pay 3000 golds then sell rest to vendor, thus literally I will buy 5 items by 600 golds each instead of 15 golds each? Nobody but idiots will buy a full stack to use few then sell rest to a vendor, so with this change either nothing changes (but prices will raise noticeably to compensate risks of greatly increased deposit fee), or people will sell everything using trade chat because of crappy AH where nothing can be sold anymore (and hey, deposit for armor will be much over vendor price so only items that are guaranteed to be sold fast will be put onto AH), or (in case if that 20% is calculated from bid price, not buyout price) everything will be put with small bid and big buyout to keep deposit small. Not sure about last case if it's the case, that might create pretty interesting situation.
Like those not playing AH wars, just wanting to turn a profit from spare gathering and crafting, I'll still list 3-5 items as stacks of 1, as I know people will still sometimes only need 1 of a crafting mat (alongside the stacks of 5, 10 and 20). However I'll change my pricing for the 1 stack to take account of the larger deposit. This change will, however, hopefully prevent the walls of 50 of a single item that make it harder for people to find a 5-stack or 20-stack.Now if only they'd fix the BfA enchanting L80-100 plateau... (15 crystals @ 5000g a piece isn't going to happen).
As a player on a low-population server, I'm really concerned about the deposit change. It says it only applies to certain tradeskill goods, but which ones? Some things sell really slowly on my realm, and rare materials can be quite expensive. Here's an example: I was cleaning out my bank a bit and decided to post a Khorium bar. They were going for 800g each and there were maybe 5-10 up. No one has very many of them, and no one wants to buy very many of them. The bar could potentially take weeks to sell. If the 20% applies to Khorium bars, posting that bar five times without it selling would cost the entire worth of the bar. No one would post any Khorium, with a loss like that, so if someone comes to the auction house because they need a couple bars to finish a project and don't want to spend an hour flying around Outland, they'd be out of luck. Even if it doesn't apply to Khorium, there may still be other mats it does apply to that don't sell well enough to be worth posting at all in a slow economy.
So how does this work for mats like gems, enchants, glyphs that are meant to be sold in single units? Or is it across the board?
Blizzard, PLEASE fix the 'Stand be Me' achievement, or at least make it clear what we need to do to complete it in its currently broken state.
