Why are the deposit fees for certain materials still ultra-high? As far as I can remember, that was a measure taken against those who post hundreds of single stacks of an item and the new AH was supposed to resolve that issue. From the original wording, I took it that deposit prices would return to the ir original values, yet still, a stack of crafting reagents can still cost 10g to deposit.
Why?

I have ~70k across all my alts, depositing 400 for a couple of stacks that might not sell doesn’t sound to me like I’m being greedy
AFAIK that was the plan, hope they’ll fix it
I am really surprised to see anyone complaining about the auction house deposit fees. If you are at all worried about the deposit fees then you are doing something wrong.
Firstly if the item sells then your deposit fee is returned to you and you lose 5% of the sale value instead.
Secondly the deposit fee along with the AH commission should ALWAYS be taking into account when you price an item to ensure you don’t sell at a loss.
Thirdly if you are losing gold due to high deposit fees then you are doing a combination of two things wrong; either setting your price too low and/or putting too many items in the auction and flooding it with items that just won’t sell because there are more than people can use in a day.
If you flood the AH with more items than you can sell in a day then you should expect to lose gold.
If you price your items so low that they sell really quickly then you need to ask yourself if your price is too low. Also think about how long it takes you to farm those items and ask yourself if you can earn more gold doing world quests, daily quests or spamming dungeons. Sometimes it’s just more profitable to vendor your items and have fun building reputation with a particular faction instead.
But never complain that the deposit fees are too high, because if you are doing things right, then you won’t lose gold because of it.
I presume that if you only have 70k across all your alts then you are a really new player - if not then you are really bad at playing the AH, because 70k should be easily obtainable within a month, and doable within a week.
