So your (and many other people's) complaint is simply that selling things now requires actual effort from you? This is along the lines of someone making an addon that just kills mobs for you and loots them, it remains active a while, then Blizzard disable it and everyone goes OMG NOW I HAVE TO ACTUALLY KILL THE MOBS MYSELF? Obviously I'm (slightly) exaggerating, but it really is basically the same thing. literally takes 100 times longer, hey with any luck this destroys the transmog economy and allows me to jack up my prices 100 fold If the current settings are too strict, we’ll want to relax these measures.īlizzard really cracking down on those of us selling transmog gear huh, god forbid we supply the market with variable options of gear. We very much welcome feedback on AH activities are hitting the throttle.

The current tuning values are a starting point for this. The new system will, however, throttle players who are using addons to run rapid queries to scan the AH for specific goods, or buy and relist huge quantities of items. It should be essentially impossible to encounter the new limits for most players. The system is tuned so that is should never affect players using the AH typically: buying consumables, listing gathered or crafted goods for sale, searching for specific items you want to purchase, etc. With this hotfix, we’ve implemented a new system that effectively gives each player a “budget” of AH actions per minute, and only kicks in once that budget has been exceeded. Neither of these things is good for the game as a whole. The players who generate all of the AH traffic are using addon-driven automation to gain a competitive economic advantage over other players, in addition to the increasing strain on the game service. Through our continuing work to address service issues as they crop up, as well as our constant efforts to find gameplay issues and fix them, we’ve observed that a small minority of all players generate the majority of Auction House traffic. The hotfix is intended to both address service issues, as well as address an imbalance between the vast majority of players and a very small minority. The performance reported above is expected and intended, following a hotfix that went into effect a few hours ago. Each row consists of two values: the timestamp in milliseconds at which the API call was made and the time in milliseconds it took to complete. This data was collected on US-Shattered Hands, which has generally been a very fast auction house as it’s a lower-pop realm. Each row represents a single C_AuctionHouse.SendSearchQuery API call (all the APIs experience the same issue - this was just the simplest to test).

Here’s a bunch of data which I recorded which demonstrates the issue. This impacts all auction house functions (searching, canceling, posting, and buying). I press the Inscription Button on the left hand side, as shown in the graphic below.Starting this morning, auction house interaction with addons (in my case, TSM) has gotten significantly slower after a certain number of queries. Populating the glyph category with all glyphsġ. all i need to do now is populate this Category with items - in this case glyphs. i leave the default parameters in for the final two sections: 'Advanced Price Settings (Reset Method)' and 'Reset Scan Settings'.Īnd that is the pricing and parameters set for the new 'glyphs' category. Under 'Maximum Price Settings (Fallback)' i: set the 'Fallback price' to 600g by rightclicking the input field, deleting whatever number is there, inputing 600g and then pressing 'Okay' which pops up and in the 'Set threshold as a' i select 'Fixed Gold Amount'.Ħ. Under 'Minimum Price Settings (Threshold)' i: set the 'Price threshold' to 40g by rightclicking the input field, deleting whatever number is there, inputing 40g and then pressing 'Okay' which pops up and in the 'Set threshold as a' i select 'Fixed Gold Amount'.ĥ. (dont use 'S', use 's' for silver, similarly for gold use 'g' not 'G')Ĥ. Under 'General Price Settings (Undercut / Bid)' i set the 'Undercut by' to 10s by rightclicking the input field, deleting whatever number is there, inputing 10s and then pressing 'Okay' which pops up. A Maximum of 2 auctions will be posted'.ģ. The text above should change to 'Auctions will be posted for 48 hours in stacks up to 1. Under 'Post Settings' i: set the 'Post time' for 48 hours set the 'Post cap' to 2 (by rightclicking the input field, deleting whatever number is there, inputing 2 and then pressing enter) set the 'Per Auction' to 1 (by rightclicking the input field, deleting whatever number is there, inputing 1 and then pressing enter). The top part is called General Settings - i leave the defaul values in and scroll passed it.Ģ.
