Introducing the Remote Auction House

[Mithrilina]

Next up, WoW for iPhone/Android?

How about a web client for WoW so that we can play anywhere, anytime, from any computer?

Hmmm... not so sure I am a fan of this. Yet.

[Memory]

Milk us more, please.

[Dingolicious]

1. Where's my EUROPEAN realm(s)?

2. Where's my ANDROID app? -_- (considering the actual market share of android phones is bigger than the iphone's)

Also, how exactly am I going to use this if it's gonna ask my authentificator every time, considering that I use the mobile authentificator? :-/ Constant switching between apps? Wait - the iphone can't do that.

Oh man, that's epic.

$2.99 to manage the AH remotely. No thanks buddies.

[Torne]

nice.
now the undercutters don´t even need to log in to destroy the economy in WoW

[Throlyn]

Ugh, you've got to be kidding me.

They wouldn't put an AH in Dalaran, but now for a modest fee you can take it with you to the port-o-crapper. Beautiful.

And as someone mentioned earlier, hard core AH users wont want it because of the cap. Most everyone else just buys shit for raids, flasks and what not. Only morons will pay for this... right before they go stand in fire.

[nerdling]

Wow, so much fail here. First off is the actual online AH, secondly is the people that are saying "OMG must get an iPhone lulz" and thirdly is the people that actually post hundreds to thousands of auctions per day. Like seriously... maybe go outside or something?

The interesting thing from this though could be the statistics of the market that can can easily be obtained. Everyone likes pretty graphs.

[Kaynot]

hm, i never had IPhone and dont want to have one.
I used AH mainly to buy flasks+ mats.
I´m not going to spend even an extra cent/month for ridicolous things like that one.
I think its just a way of DLCs for WoW.
Whatever,i hope Blizz manage at least to keep WoW servers running properly after Cataclysm-release >

[reemi]

I'm won't use it only because I want to keep my account safe, I dont want the hacker to log into my account via this application and sell a stack of water to him for 20 000g.

Unless they add Authentificator login?

[mchltlt1037]

stupid. Tempting people to pay for things they do not need...
WoW is bad enough...pets...mount...now this? : /
Makes me

I agree my friend.

[Proxima]

Won't take the payed version for my iPhone, the non-payed version could be a cool way to check the economy of other servers already.

[Madarame]

wtb iBot app - farming for me

[Ikkatsu]

What?

I can't speak for Madden but I've bought FIFA the past few years and there's been a massive improvement in gameplay. It might look the same to most people but anyone who has played the game will notice changes, it's definitely not just a new skin every year.

Congratulations.

You are a bitch to the system and are a reason EA continue to push out mediocre games every year.

[Maneken]

ROFL, new Wow feature with price. ty ill pass.

[gringo]

Did anyone else hear that? It sounded like thousands of Chinese gold sellers screaming out in joy :'(

This. I was okay with vanity pets, but I am starting to think they will not stop at the mobile AH. Soon there will be more and more "premium-based-services" to generate even more revenue.

The shareholders are hungry. I guess it's feeding time...

/sigh

[Toiran]

Looks cool but pretty pointless , for me anyway it would only load fast enough connected to my network and not 3G.

I also wouldn't pay 2.99 a month for it, but the idea and the features are nice.

[gringo]

Won't take the payed version for my iPhone, the non-payed version could be a cool way to check the economy of other servers already.

When the beta test is over, it will cost $2,99/month to buy and sell from the Auction House remotely.

If I read this right, there will be no "non-payed version".

[Tivun]

Hmm, paying to have more gold trough the auction house... This is what it is in my opinion. I don't like it nevertheless it states that Blizzard is a company that wants to make profit and nothing else and i can't tell them not to do so.

Agree, as game life cycle will be near to end, more and more feature will be usable by some "small" amount of fee.
Blizzard have great strategy for that, give slowly new feature and in small quantity through years with fee, this way ppl will less react on "micro paying" sistem.

[Prag]

Here's my real beef:

Blizzard's mentality at the launch of Warcraft III was "Feed your inner-Geek".

Seems they're the ones doing the feeding these days.


NOMNOMNOM ON YOUR DOLLARS.

[Dakario]

I hope a bug happens so you can buy every auction you want without losing gold ^^
