Personally i despise twink sellers, they take their level 60 and grind low level instances like Shadowfang Keep which is loaded with blues and then they put them on ah for 20-30g, this obviously damage the economy since they can farm so many blue items it has become a better way of making gold than farming at level 60.
nerfing drops in sfk and other instances is not the way to go as that would affect the legitimate players also.
I suggest that all items below 30 in any dungeon which is the twink pvp range can not sell over 2g, this will end the greedy twink sellers that try to rip off newbies, why not 5 or 10g ? because this would still be allow room for abuse, 2g is a fair price for any leveling item, but twink prices raise the prices to 10x or 20x times that.
This is something that should have been done a very long time ago, it doesn’t make sense that a low level instance make better profit than farming monsters at your current high level.
There will be protest from people that gain from this, but their voice has little value here, this needs to be adressed the right way.
Of course world drops should be the only exception to this.
i suggest you take a break. stopped reading at „damage the economy“

It’s interesting to see the ignorance of some people, this should have been dealt with a long time ago regardless of what anyone says.

Twinking was in vanilla, it will be in Classic all the same.

Not at all, back then blizzard was incompetent it was their first mmorpg and they didn’t know any better, now they no longer have that excuse as they should know better than allow things like this to happen, they worry too much about gold farmers.
So you want all that BoEs to be cheap so you can buy them on your leveling main for close to no cost? Twink gear is bought by other twinks and is not intended to be given to everyone else. Level 60 can sell a BoE to another level 60 for 10 000 gold if they so desire and you have nothing to say about it. If you want that gear do the the dungeon, do quests, get exp, get gear and accomplish something.

I dislike the twinking playstyle and I agree it undermines the leveling experience for everyone to the benefit of a niche few, but sorry mate, this is literally one of the dumbest ways to do it.

2g is not cheap sorry especially not since they can be farmed easily, so no i don’t want to buy anything, i want twink seller’s business to end obviously.
It’s actually the best way to end it actually, nerfing items will hurt legitimate players as well, that is the worst possible way of doing it, putting a gold cap on leveling items in the ah makes sense to me.
2g is nothing when you can easily have few thousand gold right now at level 60. And if there will be 10 BoE daggers from SFK on AH that want to be sold then the sellers will compete on price. And max levels can farm no only SFK but high level zones and instances. If that triggers you - sorry but that’s what Vanilla offered.

Twink gear is not gear designed with twinks in mind, it’s just gear that happens to be BIS for a BG bracket. A lvl 19 sword was not intended to be any different to a lvl 21 one. To say that it’s somehow the natural state of things that the lvl 19 sword sells for 1k gold is ridiculous, where I agree is that capping the AH price is a silly way to counter that.
And why a level 19 gear selling high is a problem to you? Why you are so concerned how others play the game and why are you so keen at forcing other players to not play as they want to?

Are you slow ? because their greed affects all on the auction house, is it really that hard to figure out ?
On high pop servers you have more competition so you don’t know what i’m talking about, but on low pop servers there are no competition at all and that makes it easier for twink sellers to make profit on it.
The simple answer is that their gameplay it’s taking away from mine.
Your solution would make twinking MORE popular. You’re basically wanting to make it possible to twink a character for 50g instead of 1000.
How about late joiners? They get a sought after twink items out of pure luck and boom, they have more gold than they’ll need for a while.
Except, you decided that a 200g shadowfang should be 2g, so they’re screwed over.
Also, more importantly: Twinking is not a problem, it doesn’t need to be fixed or stopped

The problem is not that the twink gear is out of reach for a lvl 60 set out to obtain it, the problem is that it’s way out of reach for the leveling character it was intended for.
If I put whatever at 100g just because something else can sell at 100g doesn’t mean my stuff will sell as well. High prices on non twink gear aren’t caused by twink gear.
I don’t despise twinkers, i despise people that profit on it.
Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. It doesn’t damage the economy, all it does is apparently make you envious that someone can make like 20-40 gold per hour at lvl 60. Big deal.
