Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hello,

I have been selling on the auction house for months trying to grind gold and all of a sudden this week all my auctions go the top of the second page, no matter what bid I put it up at.

Can someone please explain if this is something intentional? Because I never remember this being a thing, and I'm losing a fair bit of gold as well.

Regards,
Jim.

Auctions are placed in order from which one was put first, to which one was the last. If you post an auction, dont type anything in and hit search. Your auction WILL not appear. Until you reach the LAST page. All it is, the item you are selling has 1 page full already, meaning that yours is going to be on hte last page BUT first because of the bid, hope this helped

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is I've been selling this item for months and there have been multiple pages many times before and this has never been a thing. I'd really like someone to look at this because I think there is some exploit going on because of the following:

Auctions I had up from yesterday which were now on a, "short", timer have been trumped by someone who recently put items up with a, "very long", time left which seems to invalidate what you'd said. None of this makes any sense.

Would you have any idea what else would be causing the problem? Or if anyone else would, including any admin/GM/moderator, as all this has done is dissuade me from playing the game.

Regards,
Jim.

I don't know my friend. My auctions are still default listed by lowest bid price first. Nothing has changed for me. What type of exploit are you thinking? I don't know how your AH would be affected and not everyone else, except through use of AddOns.

Honestly no idea, it just suddenly changed earlier this week. The reason I think there is an exploit of some description is because there is a seller that always has his stuff listed first, no matter the time left on the auction; I never see his stuff on the second page. I'd mention the item but I don't want to bring any more attention to it as there are already enough selling it.

I guess I'll just retire from making gold via the AH and play the game until I run out, so much for going for epic mount when I hit 60.
