Oh joy, no more getting flagged by a bit of stray aoe, well a bit less, they will probably find a way. [ why don't pvp freaks just go to pvp servers? ] Pity about the high geared people who want to play dragging a few elites mob over you particularly the high aoe timeless ones, then dropping agro or just letting the aoe they can handle carve up the lowby alts then grab the mobs for themselves. Horde well, okay, years of pavlovian propaganda , but allies? 'okay, thats the fifth time, are you trying to get me killed?' 'serves you right for stealing my mobs noob &^^% off' very sadmaking for us noobs >> Items listed for sale on the Alliance, Horde, and neutral auction houses have now been combined together on a per-realm basis. > > My very Horde-heavy realm will benefit from that no end - at least, > Alliance side will anyway. prices there are very messed up, some > things are anything up to 10 times as expensive due to lack of supply, > others are worthless due to no demand! AH has gone pretty much insane the last weeks anyway, double the items at fire sale prices, nobody really knows what it is going to settle down to. Yes, larger market will hopefully settle things down, supply and demand doesn't really go well with hoarding and speculation. I know it does a bit but supply works better if things are stable, mess it up and you get damaging oscillations. Add in the prof changes and it could take months for any new model to emerge. AH has 50k items/stacks 1k-2k are mine, I don't think there are actually a lot of people playing the AH as a game. Sort of solitaire and virtual tetris, or something :-) Some items are 10% what was normal, some are 1000%. Speculation, hope,fear,dice rolling, psychology, nothing reliable.
