Auction House Performance Issue - 1 September

UPDATED

1 September

We believe we’ve resolved the issue previously affecting Auction House performance.


We’re aware of and working on diagnosing and solving issues that are affecting the performance of the Auction House in WoW. At this time, the Auction House is up, but is experiencing degraded response times.

We’ll let you know as soon as we have updates on the situation.

Thank you!

When can we expect our guildbank items to be restored? It has been weeks now.

Does the diagnosing performance issues also include diagnosing the items that sometimes just disappear completely when you post them to the AH?

Can you introduce anti botting measures while at it? You know… the ones that constantly list 1 item to be at the top of the pile? I imagine the bot wars are what is breaking the AH.

Thank you

they are pretty solid on that there is no ETA just yet. But have expressed that they are actively working on it from what ive read on the US CS forums as well.

They probably are looking i think, ive noticed it aswell.

I might also add i visually have items on the AH that expire in just over 40 000 days xD

but they are already in my bags xD

Ban TSM. Problem solved.

I know. Doesn’t mean I have to take that as enough (after weeks).

This isn’t just a random item gone, this is nearly all of what me and my wife earned during DF that is gone. Things that would help me level in TWW. If the guildbank can’t be trusted as a system then what can be?

I will be a Karen about it because it is a severe bug.

The AH is unplayable, you cant buy anything besides the mega overpriced items.

I know that it’s not easy to implement but you can solve this by:

  1. Selling orders
  2. Buying orders

Just let me buy the 500 000+ ore that’s not being listed for scam price and don’t force me to pick the “cheaper” stuff I will never get anyway

This would be an interestint idea - like in the steam market buy and sell orders and it adds fresh impetus to the trading system.

I don’t understand why no posting and scanning caps are added, at least temporarily.

Right now the vast majority of regular players are very negatively affected by a small percentage of players that overuse the AH (with the help of very specific addons that provide nearly bot-like functionality).

Time to ban ALL AH related addons.
Not only are they technically against TOS, since they’re PAID, but they make the game literally unplayable for the rest of us, due to the 0.01% that don’t even play the game, but use it as a bitcoin-like farming tool to sell Battle.net balance for $

Will players that posted expensive items be refunded?
Maybe you should just shut down the AH to avoid more people losing alot of gold they worked for.

Just kill some of TSM options, also temporarily disabling region-wide AH would help a lot.

Just perma ban every single script user they are slowing the AH for millions of ppl :slight_smile: ( if u dont know and i think u do, ppl are using scrip to post something for lower price and refresh the AH bunch of times with scrip and insta buy stuff for lower prices and thats slowing the AH a lot )

it’s obvious that over everything blizzard does, he has no idea how it will work in the future or during specific events.

Here’s the answer: Bots and addons.
Ban them. Stop them. Take action against them. Real action.

“degraded response times”? If that was the only problem, it’s would be awesome.

The local equipment AH on EU Ragnaros is completely dead, impossible to sell or buy anything.
