abused auction house.

We all understand that world is far of beinng perfect , however to make better is in our hands. Should we do it together ? Unfortunately there are many people on the server abusing the system of the auctions house , and ruins the healthy flow of the game. On movable/popular items as cloth there are big amount of items single and not stack which resulting a bad performance of the auction house. Obviously people doing it for generating a bigger profit however in the detriment of other peaceful people who want to buy/sell a smaller amount of items. Isn’t that right that a small group of people destroying the game experience for the majority of players ? Manipulation of the auction is known for a long time and definitely will not disappear any time soon. There will be always people wishing to buy for price of 1 gold and sell for 10 gold and not putting any effort or time. But is that right from moral point of view ? Why several greedy individuals need to profit on the rest of the society ? Is that not enough in the real world ? :) Cannot speak for everybody , however this part of the game is very repulsive. Counting on your understanding. From the Frostmourne realm.

I cant say how much I hate it. I know these are addons etc, but is it really the only way? Everyone should have an AH addon?

Its totally dumb, You are trying to buy stack of clothes, there are 3000items, that means 60 pages. 1-40 pages are filled with single cloth... You gotta switch and switch and switch to finnaly get to the stacks.

Honestly, there is option to put <min lvl> to <max lvl> item range, so you can only search for items with for example 40-60 required lvl. Would be great, if there was an other option, but including amount, for example, You are searching for cloths, types <min amount> to <max amount> and thats it. However, I know it may be impossible to imply.

I dont even know what we can do about it, but Im totally interested if someone have an solution for this.

The best way to include it in official policy and reported players should be punished.

I think the solution is to include an extra option on AH tab to filter items based on quantity.

For example " Search name : Netherweave cloth " / Quantity " show only 20 pieces"
So the result of your search it will only show items of 20. Exactly like you search for item based on level. But this time is based on quantity. I think it will fix this.

Extra idea " filter items based on bid/buyout" To avoid those who sell 58532478 stacks of something with 1 copper bid and 999 buyout. These are obviously bots since there is no way you can steal something from him with a bid. The bot programmed to login before the Auction expires and cancels those who didnt sell.

I am agree, this is very annoying, but solution already exists : Addons. (and buying item from NovaProxima :) )

And it's a double egde sword for vendors, they will have to deal with XXXX mails of unsold items from AH.

The fact is that even add-ons are not able to process all the information that hackers specifically break the auction. 3200 pages!!!! on one slot!

Well, if you don't like those 1 copper auctions, you just start to bid on them some 80% of market value. When the guy cancels them he will lose deposit and pay additional 5% of whatever bid you put on it. And if he deasn't cancel, gg you made easy gold.
That will actually do something, because crying about this on forums will do exactly 0.

And I love the thing about "omg these Ah manipulators", makes me laugh every time. These guys complain, then they go and post their stuff really cheap, because they want gold RIGHT FRIEAKING NOW, i buy it and post it for even months and make nice profit. So somehow i'm "exploiting community" or whatever, actually what I'm exploiting is your stupidity and I'm swimming in gold that you passed on.
