I’ve noticed that some players post an item at like 399,000g when the other items are like 399g (this is just an example)… now I never knew what’s the “wisdom” behind it until I was one day buying pretty much all the remaining pots because there were not much remaining and I was just about to buy a 399,000g potion as it was the last item and looked like it had a “similar” price. With the addon smoothing out the buying process, you could easily miss click and buy it.
Thankfully I dodged that trap and I’ve been careful but this is way way too nasty. I really think that few people fall for it … maybe once every couple of weeks or even once a month but this is too horrible. People who do this are very horrible. I can afford a 400K loss but I know a lot of players who would have their game experience ruined from this and I can’t believe someone can do this to a fellow wow player.
Been going on for years now, Blizzard doesn’t seem to want to be bothered to do anything about it. If you get duped by it it’s doubtful you’d get your money back either.
When I played Auction House, if enchants were selling at, let us say 3k gold, I would have some selling at 1.5k gold with no Buy-Out option, just Bid.
Since most players let their addon set the undercut price and the price that gets undercut is the lowest one on the market, I would then buy up All enchants priced at less than or equal to 1.5k gold and put them back on the market for 4k gold.
Do this often enough and 4k gold for enchants will become the norm on your realm.
Playing the Auction House should never be about making gold, if it is, you’re the one that’s getting played.
Playing the Auction House should be about ego, you stunting on players, that’s the rush.
Imagine selling the epic upgrade item from legion for 8k a piece, now selling 7 5 stacks for 8k per stack because of a mistake, before you click cancel all of them were instantaneously bought ( the progress bar cancel thingy )
just another reason why i flatly refuse to use the ah and why i despise Blizz for locking professions behind rep…honestly, if i absolutely had to buy anything, i would use trade or guildies because there are people like me that would rather give you something for free…or at least a more reasonable price than the ah thieves…
Usually when I buy something from AH and there is low undercut, I buy from the first one that have a big cut from the last auction…
5 persons undercutting with small amount and the 6th person just a few gold above them have a cut from the 7th above him with a bigger cut than a few golds I buy from that person, because undercutting by a few golds is not selling it cheaper in my book
That can also be a bad thing though. If you keep undercutting too much you just ruin the value out of certain items. I’ve had this happen with a few crafted items where I farmed some old reputation to get a recipe only to find out that I would lose a lot of money by crafting that item.
Yes, true, but when someone is so obviously trying to catch people out with these prices, then I think something should be done. Of course, this means that Blizzard would need to patrol the AH, which they don’t have the manpower to do. It’s a bit of a no win situation.
I would like to see refunds for wildly overpriced items like the 399000g instead of 399g thing, but I suppose proving it is an issue too.
That’s to enable cross faction gold trade, drop a grey for daft money, get another account to buy, keep cash on said account or trade to another same faction char.
Or go to ad if you are alliance make a nelf char and go to gs inn or if you are horde make a belf and go to silvermoon lol its easy gold at least thats what people told me there Hahahaha sorry it was funny to me.
