WoW: Auction House Changes, Reputation Exploit Closed

According to Blizzard Entertainment site, 2 pieces of news are worth our attention. First, devs confirmed that a number of changes are coming to the item listing process on the WoW Auction House. Second, reputation exploit, which allows players to farm quests repeatedly to gain Exalted reputations, has been identified and hotfixed. Please note that players who took advantage of exploit will be punished. There is no need to risk doing such kind of things to get Exalted reputations, for you can find it at raiditem.com.

You may have found out that the the interface of Auction House is slow to refresh when search for an available item for sale, which is caused by thousands of listing of single trade goods. Blizzard detailed that they will increase of deposit cost of some trade skill materials on a per-stack basis to encourage to post auctions in Larger stacks. The change is now testing on PTR but not on live servers.

 

At issue is the fact that the listing price is currently very low per item listed. That will, however, be changing. The price to list items will go up. So, whether a player is listing a single item or a "stack" of 200, the price to list remains the same, though obviously more punishing on the low-end. The hope is that this will reduce the number of single item listings and that the Auction House interface will speed up.

“Let’s say that a player is trying to sell 200 Tidespray Linen for 10g (gold) each. Today, each item has the normal deposit cost of 1c (copper), with a 1s (silver) minimum deposit, so 1 auction of 200 linen requires a deposit of 1s, and 200 auctions of 1 linen each adds up to a total deposit of 2g.

Now imagine an additional 20% deposit added to the listing fee per auction. With an asking price of 10g each, that raises the deposit by 2g per stack. In the case of 1 stack of 200 linen, the total buyout price is 2000g, and the new deposit is 2g1s. In the case of 200 individual stacks, the new deposit of an additional 2g per stack brings the total deposit up to 402g.”

Besides, a recent exploit allowed players to complete certain quest repeatedly to get exalted reputations and gold reward without being listed as “complete” button. However, Blizzard has hotfixed the issue and will be taking action against those who are abusing it.
