RE: WoW Auction Houses

Well, didn't know there was such a rule.

I never farm, all my money comes from my AH alt.

He's probably netted me at least 100k just by playing the AH in the past. I mainly deal in high end stuff though, such as recipes and epics, and probably take 300-500g profit each item.

I can't be bothered monopolising cloth etc for 1g profit a stack. Sometimes I delve into herbs though

So I guess I don't piss off the majority of gamers.

This particular incident was primals IIRC. I farmed tons of them, but also bought out the competition. Even though people do that, if you do it alot you get in trouble. This was one week of farming for my alts' epic flying mount when it happend. It wasn't like months of it. So I was as shocked as the next person. Also, another odd rule is there is actually a max amount of auctions you can put up and if you exceed it you get a warning/suspension too. It seems as odd as the previous rule, because if they're your auctions you should be able to put as many up as you want. The flagging number is like 100ish though when the GM's take notice. I usually go with about 20-30 auctions max at one time, but if I put all of my alts items up at once that could get me a GM convo. or whatever. I am guessing they suspect gold farming or something, and don't consider that some people have numerous bank alts and may save all their items for months and months.

Well when dealing with high end epics/patterns, I only have say 2-3 at a time. If that.

But those 3 net me say 1k or something, so im happy

Well, I highly doubt I will run afoul of those "crimes", since I most certainly do not have the time nor insanity to stop questing and farm only. The quests are the primary reason why I am playing this game in the first place, and the AH is just one aspect that I am enjoying.

When I do decide to farm for items (usually Blackmouth, Stranglekelp, Deviate Fish and Brairthorn at the moment), it is usually only for an hour max.

A bit surprised at the maximum number of auctions though. Not a problem for me at the moment since my items are moving fast.

Cheers.
