Patch 8.3 Feedback – Auction House Revamp

It might be useful to have a tab for sold items so you can keep track during the hour between when an item sells and when you receive the gold for it.
To make testing easier on the PTR, the delay between the time of sale and when the proceeds are delivered is currently set to 5 minutes. During this 5 minutes, your sold auctions should appear in your Auctions tab at the top.

If this is not happening, it’s a bug. When Visions of N’Zoth is live, delivery of auction proceeds will have the usual delay of 60 minutes. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Could you please add a filter option for searching gear and weapons? I would like to be able to check a box that would filter out all armor/weapons I already own the appearance for.
We think you can do this by using a combination of the “Uncollected Only” checkbox in the filter dropdown and the Armor/Weapon categories on the left. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

When I’m posting Pets, I’d like to post 2-5 at a time, but with the new system you have to create a new listing for each.
Thank you for the feedback. We’re looking into changing this. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Just curious how you’re going to handle pets. Technically any one particular pet can be 25 different pets because it can be 25 different levels.
All versions of the same pet will be grouped in the same page. Since the auctions on that page will be mix of various levels, rarities, and stats, it’ll be up to the buyer to determine which pet they want to buy. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

The search mechanism seems broken. If I select the ‘buy tab’ and search for ‘Coarse Leather’, what pops up is ‘Coarse Thread’.
We haven’t been able to reproduce this error. Can you try again and see if it still does this for you?

Also, please try an exact search with quotes (example: “coarse leather”). (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Can we set a duration longer than 48 hours?
At this time, we’re continuing with the 48-hour max duration the WoW auction house has always had.

With the new search, can we wildcard a search for weapons without the “…of the tiger”? e.g. Notorious Combatant’s Intuitive Staff* would search all types of that item regardless of secondary stats.
We don’t have wildcard functionality, but you can simply search for the first few words (example: Notorious Combatant’s Intuitive Staff) and it will return all items matching that.

Is there any spellcheck in the future? So “irion ore” pops up with nothing but does suggest “iron ore”?
Not at this time, but thank you for the suggestion.

Does the Uncollected Only bring up a single item with the appearance like the CollectionShop addon groups items that Xmog into the same thing into a single listing?
The “Uncollected Only” filter will return all items that you don’t have the appearance for. As a result, you may see several items for the same appearance.

Is there a filter for learnable and usable recipes so that goblin engineers aren’t shown gnomish recipes?
There is a “Usable Only” filter that will only show you recipes you can learn.

Are battle pets sorted better? (currently, battle pet item and caged battle pet are different objects, color variety is not shown, breed might be visible but I’m using a lot of addons that tell me that).
Not at this time, but thank you for the feedback.

Can we search on attributes of an item (30 mastery) instead of item name (enchant ring - seal of mastery)?
Not at this time, but thank you for the suggestion. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Seller names sometimes doesn’t appear on an item until after refreshing it several times.
Can you tell us more about this? Which pane do you see this on? Any info to reproduce this would be helpful.

Items seem to display as lasting for almost a month rather than a few hours or a day.
Thanks! We’re aware of duration displays issues, and we’re working on that right now. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)


Thank you to everyone who has provided feedback so far!

Here are some known issues that will be fixed on upcoming PTR builds: (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

  • Durations showing the wrong times

    I really hope they buff Holy so there's at least one spec that's playable at a Mythic level.

    To be completely honest, it feels fucking horrible to see nerfs like this after all the time it takes to get a character up to mythic par so to speak. Grinding essences are gross.

    It only effects FOTM rerollers!?

    The priest class had it so much worse in the past, people who survived WoD and LEGION with this class will be doing just fine.

    WoD? I can't speak for holy but Disc was broken OP in wod and Shadow was upper mid to upper dps.

    This is one thing I've wanted for a looooong time.

    In WoD shadow was terrible for challenge mode dungeoneering. Disc was strong indeed. Also I hated the dot weaving playstyle I was forced to do in raids as an SP.
    Ppl and Blizz always say that shadow is fine & it is for bleeding edge play(raiding & high key myhics) , but it's a chore to do open world and easier dungeon content with it compared to other classes that have non dotting dps specs.

    Yeah. I used addons for that until now, which require you to do full AH scans, like CollectionShop. This will simplify it at least partly.

    I guess I really didn't think of challenge modes, I never did them just like I barely do any M+ lol.

    Is Holy in a bad place? If you removed Paladin parses HPriest would be the best healer in the game right now. With the nerf to Glimmer this tier it may be the best. I also don't think a 3% nerf to disc damage is a "the sky is falling" nerf

    As priest of any spec:
    # MoP CMs were horrible, WoD CMs were even worse, nobody asked for priests nor wanted them, worst output and worst utility with base ilvl.
    # MoP/WoD Proving Grounds showed how much every priest spec sucks compared to even day-1-old alternative heal/dps classes.
    # LEGIONs shadowpriest broke the game in raiding AND they still were avoided like a plague in M+. Both heal specs were 3. choices for M+.

    A really long time for a class to suck in basicly everything outside of very specific raid bosses at the end of the expansion with slightly OP stat scaling in - HEALING, the only role in the raid where the output is allways hard capped and you even want to downsize the amount of players as fast as possible.

    Like I posted, long time priest players should be used to much worse ingame situations, because it was never better than right now for a very long time.

    Blizzard keeps nerfing my OP SP that's been broken since the beginning of the expansion and is still one of, if not the best DPS for every type of fight. Wah

    Yeah lets just keep digging that super unnecessary divide between those that play classic and those that don't.

    Why is it unnecessary? It’s pretty clear that there is barely anything in common.
