You know, I could partially get this on Retail because the Auction House interface has not been touched in 15 years and is severely antiquated, but in the classic discussion? You guys act like this was not a thing back then, when it really was, and you try to pin it ENTIRELY on addons when the real issue is the community in that case. Then what? What does your goal post change to then? Really now? “Abuse Cases” because someone posts singles? Really? And what’s even more laughable is that you want to put the blame on addons when, even without addons, people who only post singles are still going to post singles. What we care about is the abuse cases, since those render the auction house far less useable. Its unfortunate to think of those people who think they are going to make a killing in the AH but instead are literally throwing away money. Thankfully as you get higher level it seems to tapper off. People who don’t understand these tools are basically driving prices down to absurd levels with their carelessness. A lot of people want to blame Layering for all the woes in game but its not entirely layering that is the issue. Its people using tools they don’t understand/don’t pay attention. People are depending ENTIRELY on the built in undercutting features so all it really takes is 1-2 people posting an item WAY under its normal value and then suddenly people who use the addon but don’t pay attention just let it auto undercut the lowest price which quickly drives down the value. IE, its a lot of the reason why AH item values are so messed up right now. However, the problem is that a lot of people are thinking that they are being “clever” this time around because they have AH addons, thinking they will rake in the gold with no effort, and as such are depending ENTIRELY on the AH addons to do all the work for them without actually looking at item values which… it kinda creates some issues. Addons like Auctionator and Auctioneer are far better suited for classic. The only thing I use TSM for on Classic is to scan for items below vendor price.

Its honestly one of the reasons I am not using it on Classic where as I love TSM on Retail.


How to set up tsm4 to auto buy things update#
In classic, even with TSM, players have to manually scan the AH and manually update their AH databases compared to retail. That… That is not exactly how TSM works, especially on Classic. This is incredibly unfair for servers without tons of 60’s and just ruins their prices even though the supply is low just because other servers supply is through the roof. TSM tracks all AH prices globally, so people are using that as what to list items for, and some servers have 100+ 60’s while others only have a handful.
