Yes, it’s killing AH.
I actually dislike multiboxing. I think it gives the person an unfair advantage because no way would multiple players all use the same ability at exactly the same time to hit one target.
In Retail they strip mine/herb zones with gaggles of druids (usually) due to the way you can multi mine/herb nodes.

+, got it.
If TSM didn’t change any gameplay people wouldn’t be using it.
Same with all AddOns, if it didn’t change the way the game is played they wouldn’t be using them.
The big cigar question is of course wether that change can be deemed positive for the game at large or not, given how in a MMORPG you are not playing a single player game where you can use cheatcodes and what not to your heart’s content without affecting anybody else.
That is something too many people (like to) forget.
I use a macro that lists the bids in order of buyout price.
Care to share that macro?
Edit: wait, nevermind. I actually managed to make the search work for once and found it.
/run SortAuctionItems(“list”, “buyout”)
Dear Blizzard, please break auction house add-ons.
Oh please don’t, not if you do not improve the default auction house, where you cant even sort by “per item price”.
The default auction house is tolerable if you are looking for gear but with crafting materials it is an abomination I don’t want to deal with.
Look at Linen Cloth as example, there are hundreds of single stack pages
The issue is (I don’t know with linen cloth, but with copper bars definitely), that single stacks do not result in any deposit fees, so players trying to get their first few silver coins avoid deposit fees by offering single stack auctions (I did 40 single copper bars with my warrior, while I would have much preferred full or half stack - but 60c is a lot of money if you are aiming for 14 silver per stack).
BTW. posting single stacks with the default UI is easy (I read a few times that you had to post single stacks as singles in the default UI - I only solt the two stacks of copper via auctionator and one axe - is the default UI even more dumbed down than in retail? - it is bad enough in retail).
I would gladly pass on these addons if the default auction house offered some (in my opinion) necessary filtering/sorting options. (I don’t use snipper options, automated buyout or sellout, but Auctionator offers me to see the price of current auctions while selling and offers sorting by single item price when listed in stacks, when I want to buy - that’s basically all I need, ordering by single item bid or required level in case of gear auctions would be nice).
The issue with no fee on single stacks is not an issue that will plague low level material for a longer time, and I would love to have those sorted out (just calculate the fees up from single stacks and not down from full stacks, where a single stack might get rounded down to free of any fee - at least make the full stack also free, if a single item is).
Auction house interface is old. Add-ons easily abuse downsides of old interface and they affect all players. Posters and add-on authors do that knowingly, abusing sorting methods to annoy users and force them to buy overpriced single stacks or waste 20 minutes searching is the reason for those add-ons functionality.
I agree, if you offer single stack for that reason, that is awful, but as you described this is caused by missing necessary features of the default auction house interface.
I have explained numerous times that I use a macro that lists the bids in order of buyout price. So far this has been enough for me to be able to find things.
That’s cool, would you mind sharing (as I said I wouldn’t mind to pas on those addons if the auction house was usable in a decent way without them).
/run SortAuctionItems(“list”, “buyout”)
Ah, I found it in the other thread - thanks
You do realize the problem is not the addon but the outdated auction house itself that is the same even on BfA? Blame blizzard for not updating it for a decade
True, but actually auction house UI in Classic is not the same as in BfA. It is the same as in vanilla.
That means no sorting by buyout, not even a simple button to reset option, no option to select stack size when posting and so on.
That makes this issue even bigger.
You’re not bothered with anything that is ruining a game:
I feel that whiners ruin game, not addons.
Lmao imagine being salty that people use addons that objectively make the interface to the game better.
Do you people have nothing else important in your lives to worry about haha? I have never used vanilla ah since auctionator came out well before 1.12. I recommend you do the same.
Granted I never sell wool cloth in stacks of 1.
LMFAO “the authentic experience”, well you obviously didnt play vanilla then
Ban addon problem solved.
During WoW history alot of addons crossed the line of fairplay. Very few are baned, in PvP addons forged good players from nobs, I always wondered when some addon bans will inc…
There is an even better one now!!
/run SortAuctionItems("list", "unitprice")
Activistion Blizzard doesn’t care about players or good game feeling since a while, we are just customers that blizzard milk every month and it’s that why they won’t remove addons unless they are losing subscribers.
Activistion Blizzard doesn’t care about players
Show me one corporate company that does care about anything else than profit. I do ponder where people even get the idea as if any of the business ‘cares about’ them. No. They do not and bigger they are lesser your value as person becomes.
All Im reading is: the AH is pretty badly coded, has been that way for ages and still is in retail. Good to know.
It must be banned

Its worse. While AH in retail has improved a bit over the years, in Classic developers brought back old vanilla interface. That makes 1 stack spam even more annoying.
Punyelf was very helpful and shared this macro, type it in the chat box when the ah window is open:
I don’t use any ah addon… I am trying to be a light as possible on addons.
/run SortAuctionItems(“list”, “buyout”)
I gave up on the ah though stuff never sold
+1
ban auction addons
+1
Week ago I was able to sell Linen/Wool/Silk Cloth stacks pretty easily, but this week I’m actually losing money if I’m trying to sell them on AH.

profit is a tricky thing.
You can milk people from mobile games in a short term; you can have your core of followers for a long term.
Blizzard cared of their gameplay and games.
FaiLizzard doesn’t care.
CD project red cared of their gameplay and games.
Activision doesn’t care.
It depends on the company market position and company values. It all goes from top to bottom, from game directors to developers and lower.
There are companies who cares of their products and customers, there are who don’t.
