You could get purples and legendary items out of the picture, but the rest should be cross-sellable. At least food, glyphs, pots and such common stuff.<br /><br />I've been asking for a cross-realm auction for some time. I have a few low level chars stuck on an empty server (not low populated, EMPTY). The AH has got 1917 items today.<br /><br />That's about 2% of my main server.<br /><br />1 - Needless to say.. let's see.. glyphs ? There are 885 (amazing, nearly half of the AH items are glyphs, and the chepeast is 79gold. Now.. how do you manage that with low level chars ? You don't. You simply can't use glyphs.<br /><br />2 - Ah but you say, you can ask a guildie to do it for you.<br />Helllooo ? On empty servers, there are no guilds. Wrong, there's one, and the rest is simply a repository of ppl that log once in a while, don't even say hello, and certainly will not help you with glyphs, most don't even know what that is.<br /><br />3 - Ah, you can say "WTB in trade". Yes ? And... nothing happens, because no one is in town. On my server, it's 1PM and there are...13 ONLINE. Yes, 13. Only 2 persons are in town, I'm one of them, checking AH.<br /><br />Enough said about empty servers and Auction Houses... <br /><br /><br />Pedro Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04057452330605248525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-38590699336130975572012-11-19T05:07:09.694-06:002012-11-19T05:07:09.694-06:00QQ...

In case you haven't no...QQ...<br /><br />Cry me a river.<br /><br />In case you haven't noticed, WoW, at present, is deeply in hyperinflation. The reason for which is a lack of competition within the market. Nearly all servers are run by a few players who spend all their time monopolising the AH.<br /><br />THAT IS BAD... The best thing, especially for those of you (I'm assuming all that agree with this article) who are filthy rich by current inflated standards, would be for the merger to take effect. More competition will sort out the inflation, and prices will plummet. As the prices plummet, you still have all your original gold, but everything is cheaper. Relatively speaking, you can still sell your goods for a cheaper price, but as inflation has subsided, you're still earning just as much as you were before.<br /><br />This is fairly basic economics... Numbers are meaningless, economies are relative, and it's down to percentages, NOT static integers.<br /><br /><br />Not to mention the fact that AH junkies are few and far between, and that there are A LOT, LOT more regular players; paying customers I might add, that would back this 110%.<br /><br />Blizzard will do whatever makes them retain subscribers. That's business economics, and hold no misconceptions, WoW is a business, not a charitable service.<br /><br />I'd expect to see this implemented in the next 6 months.Master_Teeeehttp://my.twocents.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-29908935948334782212012-11-05T21:28:00.608-06:002012-11-05T21:28:00.608-06:00I wasn't even aware that they were thinking of...I wasn't even aware that they were thinking of implementing cross-realm auctions.

That means there will be even more kobolds crashing your prices on every server as well as a vast number more goblins playing in each and every auction house market. <br /><br />I'd love to hear an educated explanation as to why you disagree, instead of just making poorly thought out name calling statements.<br /><br />PS: High Priced Glyphs?

The global AH in gw2 actually works really well and there is so much opportunity to make a profit flipping because of buy orders. Now without buy orders there is no doubt merged AHs would be terrible in WoW and would cause gold making to be incredibly difficult if you aren't able to park a toon at the AH all day to cancel/relist.Alexandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-68254718030387368792012-09-13T17:13:35.238-05:002012-09-13T17:13:35.238-05:00Charlie, if that's all you're interested i...Charlie, if that's all you're interested in, then Blizz already has a solution for you: The Black Market Auction House.<br />You'll be able to access it in MoP, and it will contain rare, hard-to-get, and no-longer-attainable items.

I recently created some toons on a high pop server and just running an AH scan can take up to 5 minutes (real time which feels like forever). Now as well all know, this idea probably comes from the complainers of low pop areas as well as folks who just can't run a business. The suggestion that I have for a solution to low population servers is to offer those realms a free transfer to a different server and then collapse that server. Could even make it mandatory if you wanted to (choose your server by xx date or you'll be defaulted to Y server- but said in a nicer way).

It takes forever to search for stuff, nothing sells and to keep load on the AH manageable they have to cap you at 10 active auctions at any one time. You can't even cancel an auction once you post it.<br /><br />Its horrible.<br /><br />If they bring it to WoW, it will make any and all interactions with the auction house extremely unpleasant.<br /><br />DO.NOT.WANT.Thunderspankhttp://thunderspank.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-15713608807535220842012-09-13T11:00:57.798-05:002012-09-13T11:00:57.798-05:00If they did this I pretty much think I'd be do...If they did this I pretty much think I'd be done with the AH which would mean a lot of grinding out mats to make the things I want.
