They should disable TradeskillMaster next.

Is it me, or is epigramx unusually active these past months the closer we are to expac release? Midnight must have really rustled his jimmies for some reason.

I would be fine with TSM in whole, with the exception of spinning a mouse wheel like crazy and posting thousands of auctions that way.

The goblins can stretch the definition all they want subjectively but my own subjectivity is that it OBVIOUSLY crosses the line.

For thousands of auctions to be posted, one would have to have the corresponding bag space. So where do you get the notion that people are posting "thousands" of auctions by spinning their mouse wheel?

The addon can split stacks of 200 and 1000 into parts automatically and other fancy things like that, so one with a single spin of the wheel can create a total spam of auctions that others would never do manually so fast.

Nah; just interested in seeing new content in beta and ptr usually (I would normally play more but real life is pushing it lately); I do like the killing of specialized raid weakauras though.

And why would you do that? They all end up in the same pile in retail anyway. You still have not proven that it happens.

but each auction of 10 is 1s less than the previous auction of 10!

THE HORROR!!!!!

Yeah, just go away. TSM is fine. When you try to discredit it and the absolute first sentence you come up with is a lie. Then you have nothing.

There is no automation in TSM. One click one action. Using autoclickers and whatnot to get it automated is not tsm's issue.
And following this logic of yours, then we should also just ban fishing from the game, as people can use third party sofware to automate that too. Can't have rotations in the game anymore, as there are rotation bots.

See how stupid that is?

And yet they banned addon one-click rotation helpers. The only difference is TSM does the calculations out of combat and rotation helpers did calculations in combat. TSM is the one-click rotation helper of the economy, except it's even more powerful because it puts you WAY ahead of others while 1BR addons put you slightly behind, even or slightly ahead.

I haven't gotten into professions recently but in the past TSM was a ridiculous advantage. For example, in WotlK, it earned me 66k gold in 1-2 months with just inscription alone. And this is from someone who never engaged in the economy before. In comparison, I would need to program an excel sheet by learning VBA and manually enter everything from WoW to excel multiple times a day to keep up with the hundreds of different glyphs with different mats. This is more time saving than learning a rotation and doing without 1BR addon. TSM stands out heavily even more that combat addons are nerfed.

TSM was also just as heavily guarded a secret as the paywalled WA scripts. The only difference is fewer people complain as fewer compete in the economy than run m+.

Yep, most of the criticism in this thread is from people who don't use TSM and do not know its power.

I'll give you an example that someone experienced in some programming can understand easily:

1) You can make custom price sources that can be entire functions (of ANY length)

2) The custom price can be based on attributes like "sold items per day".

3) You can then automatically craft and post exactly that number


Basically you can fully program and automate thousands upon thousands of auctions (and craftings) in one day that manually would take MONTHS. The cherry on top is that you can spin the mouse wheel and post them or craft them while watching youtube videos.

PS you can automate the price and the number of items crafted/posted and you can automate the way you split the stacks to be posted in different prices etc and basically the only limit is that blizzard has a limit of crafting and posting per single wheel spin.
