Are you happy with the price of things on the ah as a buyer?
I mean everyday stuff like herbs/ores/enchants?
I guess.
I don’t use the AH enough for it to matter.
Flasks are pretty expensive on my realm but are starting to come down a bit (they were sitting at 1000g per flask which sucks if you don’t do alchemy). Enchants have come right down and herb prices are dropping (I only sell those so can’t comment on this from a buyer’s perspective). There isn’t much of a market for fancy stuff like transmog on my realm.

One of my best source of profits, the arcanite bar, dropped by 70% and basically everything else struggle to sell.
No real motivated to play the ah anymore, feels like I’m wasting my time. A few good opportunities tho, especially with old world ores which dropped in value recently.

Wait up.
Gimme a few mins.
Transfering to sell the ones i craft xD
Edit:
Sorry anna,forgot to reply you as well xD
As a buyer yes i am.
But im usually not buying things, im mostly crafting what i need so as a mostly seller extremely unsatisfied.
Flask’s price droped to 500g becuase of the endless swarm of druuds farming herbs and crafting flasks so making gold with alchemy on my server now is impossible.
Just a bit before quarantine and around a week or two during it, was perfect i guess

The reason I ask this is for an idea I had.
More for the next expansion really, but I wondered if could make a community on my main realm, and others could on theirs for trading purposes.
The idea would be to make a price list of some things to enable some kind of fair trade, where buyers don’t have to pay a crazy amount for things, yet the sellers still see profit to make it worth their time.
So there would be a discord where buyers could place orders - already knowing the price set by the community, and sellers could pick those orders up and fulfil them.
So it would cut out the ah, and enable more social trading.
Prob another crazy Anna idea, but still putting it out there.

Too crazy fer me.
550g for flasks yesterday, pretty sweet if you’re a buyer.
Terrible realm to be a seller though 
Flask on Draenor 300 gold - I think I should start smuggling to other releams.

So basically planned economy?
I don’t think it can work 
but good luck

Well I switched realms with my main and I have to say it’s an overwhelming difference.
Example flasks: old 1000 gold, new realm 300-400
Also I made an old axe via blacksmithing, the material costs was on old realm 20000k. On new one 6000…
Works pretty well in eso with them using a price check app.
WoW ain’t ESO.

The economy in ESO and WoW is fundamentally different in terms of player needs, demand/supply and elasticity
Some large guilds already have set gatherers (usually multiboxers) that they pay for mats .
I’d like it if we had a region-wide auction house so that prices weren’t so variable across realms… It’s awful to hear that I have to pay about 3 times what someone on Draenor pays for a flask! Plus, on smaller realms, there are no markets for many goods - things like leather (which Sholah once mentioned to me as selling really well) just don’t move on my realm. So while yes, you can make more gold from certain things on a lower population realm, I don’t think that you can make more overall due to market limitations.

So, they don’t use the AH?
Yes, without a centrally agreed-upon price. Those guilds will not pay more than it costs on the AH. The multiboxer will not sell much lower than on the AH. If the multiboxer does, the multiboxer does not understand the WoW economy at all.
More like 5 times as much if what was said yesterday in voice was accurate ^^
No, they place orders and pay the gatherer direct… but that’s usually larger raiding guilds.
Depends on the flask - they dropped to a crazy low of about 600g at the weekend! I was basing it on Keyur’s figure of 300g mentioned above Vs my own figure of 1000g. But if it’s even cheaper on Draenor… I cry now!
