@BrianBirming Hey Brian, would the classic team consider implementing the updated auction house from patch 8.3 onto WOTLK Classic? It is a huge QoL upgrade that would improve everyone's experience without taking anything authentic away from the expansion.— Jake Willms (@jakewillms17) April 22, 2022

We’ve talked about it a bit. I’m not personally convinced the commodity market is the right move for Classic, but I think some of the other UI improvements might be unambiguous wins. Worth thinking about for sure.Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️— Brian Birmingham💙 (@BrianBirming) April 24, 2022

Is it unpopular to want the new Retail Auction House in Classic? because I want the new Retail Auction House in Classic — MrGM (@MrGMYT) June 13, 2022 The old auction house is so much easier to make gold with, so I like that it still exists, this is how it was when I first learned about goldmaking. From a pure game design perspective the new one would probably be "better" though, but a part of classic charm is the jank.— The Lazy Goldmaker (@lazygoldmaker) June 14, 2022 Nope. I’ve been saying this from the start of Classic. I love the classic atmosphere, style, world etc.That’s not to turn a blind eye though to the fact that the modern AH would be awesome in it.— Liam 🇺🇦 (@Guillin) June 13, 2022 Further ReadingMost of this information was discussed and originally posted on the /r/woweconomy subreddit or in the accompanying Discord Server.I hope you found this useful and If you have any suggestions or feedback, please do say so in the comments below..Until next time, Happy Goldmaking!Samadan

Considering everyone already uses auction house addons like TSM and Auctionator to replace the vanilla UI, I'd say why not implement the new AH that we have on retail. It just makes things easier in the long run for seeing what's available, and lets you purchase what you need quickly.
I'd say no since you wanna play Classic, it should be Classic.But the Classics aren't 'classic' and I don't play 'em, so have at it.
They should scrap old legacy features in all classic versions of the game and replace them with modern optimized versions.So LFG, DF, AH and so on should use retail version of the system.They should also offer HD textures/models as in option in classic. Data is already in game, so not using it is a waste of disk space.
I'd say make the retail action house into an setting and keep the old action house. Want to use retail one? enable that on system settings. Want to keep the old one for nostalgia reasons? keep it untickedor blizzard / community could just drag the information needed on retail action house into an addon.
At this point I'm convinced Brian Birmingham is trying to sabotage classic. Every change that would be massive QOL improvements he seems skeptical of and "isn't convinced" of doing, yet he has no issue with taking fundamental pieces of classic and removing them without feedback or second thought.
If people seriously want to play "Classic" (or Vanilla) WoW, then they should play the "Classic" version of the AH.Really SO tired of all the people who were up in arms and rioting because they wanted to play Classic and now everyone wants "Classic" EXCEPT with their favorite few tweaks here and there.I started in WoW about six months after launch. I loved the game then, but times have changed and we've all evolved. Saying you want to "relive the experience" except you want it sanitized/modified in some way negates the original experience.
Doesn’t matter to me either way. This actually isn’t the #somechanges I was after… transmo, add that one in and let’s roll.
This is EXACTLY what a lot of us said when people clamored for classic, we said “you don’t actually want classic you’ll want all of the upgrades and quality of game changes,” and everyone insisted NO. They all insisted they were die hard original gamers who wanted that simple game back.We’ll surprise ever since classic came out people have asked for “just this one change,” or “just these couple weeks.”
it's funny how the classic "#nochanges" crowd are fans of LFD not being included in WOTLK classic. If it indeed stayed true to the original releases, that would be a major #change.Stuff like the old AH are just a major inconvenience in the favor of nostalgia. No one ever liked scrolling through 10 pages of 1 stack cloth or other mats just to find an actual real price per item. Same thing with the retail group finder tool (not queue, just listing and applying). During TBC classic, the lfg chat was just spamming lfg/lfm so fast you couldn't even see anything.
Only if we get the original LFD Finder from WotLK.
I’d love the new AH. But I’d also love LFD and asking for changes got that axed.The no changes philosophy was the only way to to. With all the QoL the last patch of the expansion brought and not a bit more.
can we have an in-game cash shop with level 1 flying mounts ? That would make everything even more classic
100% would go for retail's in classic. Especially the commodities.
They just need to fix the BS with scam sellers posting things that are bid 1 copper and buyout of 2000g. These sellers all have names with bizarre combinations of extended ascii characters so you can't report or mail them. They are breaking the AH.
Most people who "prefer" the old way, use addons to modify the AH to make it work better
Of course it should, I don't know what they were thinking with implementing the old barely usable AH. Functionality should always be in front of the rose tinted glasses.
I remember, one day I read someone's comment, claiming, that Blizz should re-create the whole classic expirience patch by patch including all the bugs and stuff. As fun as it may sound on paper, playing this version of vanilla would be pretty rough tbh. Same goes for AH, I don't believe, anyone who is actively engaging with AH on classic truly thinks that it's better for the game/expirience to have classic version of it rather then retail version. I remember in early tbcc using the AH was a pain even with actionator, cuz it was laggy and had 'millions' of 1 piece lots without buyout price
well... all flips and gold making opportunities have been known for eons on the pirate serversi mean, the most famous one started their new reset 2 months ago so..also who likes flippers and undercut bots? nor be unable to sell anything cuz of relisters...the people who want to play classic want to raid and play their old classes, not get screwed up by gold makersso maybe disable tsm and ah apijust a thought..and see how cool it goesand then change it on live ty
