I've found and confirmed an Auction House bug details :
The current bug is related to the limit of 400 items search in fact when i display these 400 items then you cannot see the full list of items for example :
If u order then by time expiration it wont show the REAL 400 auctions the expiring orders but it will sort the "PREVIOUS ones that You searched first" so u cannot really modify your search or search a specific item because it will only show the first 400 you displayed in a different order
that explain why some people complain that their auction expire with no bid even they putted a fair price.
this wont work even if you sort them by quantity for exaple if i wanna buy an enchantment and i sort them for "quantity it will show me maximum 3 or 4 items in a bulk but this is untrue because i myself made a test posting 60 rune and i wasnt able to search for it because when i used the filter it will always sort the first 400 searched so basically im unable to search for the desired item and it keep showing me that the max bulk of item is of 4"
Test it by ourself pick a specific item that have 400 sell order try to make an auction and it u dont meet the first 400 showlist than your item will never be show in the AH.
** eDIT NOTE **
This is manly related to the gateway version of auction the ingame auction search is kinda unpredictable and searching inside it wont allow me to sort item for expiring order.
Suggestion
This could be solved by adding a new script in the sort Options that reload the fully auction for explample :
if i sort by quantity it will search in the item specific the Maximum quantity seller instead of the "max seller in the first searched 400"
if i search for auction expire it will reload the expirinng time tables so i see all REAL auction expiring and not the first 400 searched.
or adding more filter like -Quantity- near to -quality-
but still adding a reload option is required.
even diplaying more than 400 return can solve the problem but not totally because if the community increase exponentially this problem wont be fixed since even 800 is a small number compared to the maximum sellers potential.
the real viable solution in my personal opionion would be adding more sorting possibilities and a new reload script that will search the real values searched.
More to come
PLease use this thread to make constructive suggestions since this is the purpose of it's creation..
another update it seems that the names popping out of the search queue are always the same even by searching in alphabetical order new Sellers wont be listed in AH first 400.. Ingame auction wont allow me to sort things propely to check this out, anyone else having these problems?
