    The inability to search by level is just plain retarted. I've submitted tickets, emailed you directly, spammed your FB posts, called you on the phone... all of my report tickets were closed. you stated, 'this system is working properly' and it clearly isn't. ridiculous. Without being able to search by level, looking for the best item for our 'money' is extremely time consuming. Additionally, because the number of items listed is limited to 400 there may be 100s-1000s of listings that aren't even being shown within the time span of a listing. This is plainly unfair. I have not noticed the AH randomizing listings so there may be a lot of people listing items that will never be seen, their auction ends - you get your cut - it's a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> poor system.

    **** it...i wanted to bid on an item that is expiring in about an hour...will these auctions get reversed? that really sucks...i was setting the clock for that auction...well...

    my hope is, dont give out 3 day bans and that kind of crapp - especially since these exploiters already have 50 accounts made for this very reason...ban them for live, their children, the children of their children and even their pets...

    cryptic, i have a new process for you to ensure quality before releasing material - its the 7p principle:

    Proper Prior Preparation Prevents <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> Poor Performance...

    besides - who gives a **** about these runes when all the purple gear has only utility slots anyway?

    I use the gateway to search by level. Lets you search even the sub-menus (helm, arms, etc). Granted, it's a pain to have to go back and forth between ingame and the gateway, but it's a workaround until PWE/Cryptic get their act together.

    Hey Everyone,

    The Auction House has been taken offline temporarily to troubleshoot an issue. We'll let you know when it's back up!

    -Dezstravus and the Neverwinter Team

    So will the Timer run out on our actions this time to? So we dont get the AD's our items are worth because people cant bid on them.

    This particular thing isn't the Devs fault really. There is something wrong with the people out there that just want to screw everyone else. The hackers, botters, economy breakers, PVP afkers (grrrr), and the people who roll need on everything. Why are there so many people like this I would like to know. They ruin the experience for thousands of others and either don't care or actually get off on it. Sure, it would be nice if they had a more failsafe code, but the reality of it is that every game, even those with a lot more funds are hacked. The problem is with a percentage of the population just being <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.

    Oh and to all the rollback whiners, who cares. Do a couple of dungeons or foundry quests and you will be right back where you were. It's really no big deal and it isn't like there is much to do at 60 anyhow.

    you can t search by lvl for example hat armor hands ect but it works by clic only equipement and in the search window you write "armor" "glove" "dagger" or so and you ll have only the lvl range, i hope you understand what i mean, my english is bad, i speak french :)
    a think i have, idk if it s because i m in Europe,and server respond not so fast,but when bid is on the last 5-30 sec, someone bid over my bid and i can't not bid over him,so i loose item,and i had enought money,sometimes it works,but i 9/10 loose on biding :/ last time on a dagger 45 sec left "bid" was grey :( or it say i won but i lost cause someone bid at 2sec left and my AH slow to update, very sorry my bad english :)
    i hope no rollback for those 99 runes, who buy those? i just lvl up new toon cleric lvl 1 to 16 today :/ dont want her delete lol

    Easy for you to say. I finally got my Inferno mount from lockboxes today, after opening about 400. A rollback now would suck bigtime.

    People are just so self obsessed, they want fun, they don't care about the other's their entertainment, if it's profitable for them they'll always do it.

    And it's still a beta, I don't care about rollbacks, it's better than ruin the economy.

    This is an mmo, if you enjoy playing with others like my guild and working on getting the best gear for pvp and to not suck and T2 dungeons, there is lots to do. Only lazy people or those with no self motivation complain about a lack of things to do at endgame.

    Only way that works is if they do some kind of verification process. Like use a credit card to make an account. But I totally agree.

    There needs to be rollbacks. The simple explanation: As soon as you hear about something wrong with the game that the devs are looking into, leave the game and go do something else that won't irritate you.

    I recommended this to people who were complaining about it: Go to YouTube and looks for TFS Abridged. It's a DBZ parody that is excellently done. Especially the second season. I've watched it twice in the past couple of weeks, and it still cracks me up.

    It's beta only in name... it's far from a real beta when people are spending real money for stuff. Honestly, lets call it what it really is -- a catch all for absolving themselves of blame for major mess ups like this.

    Just use the Gateway, the in game AH is totally broken anyway. It's sorting doesn't work at all, it's filters don't work, and the searches are terrible. If you play in Window or MaxWindow mode you can alt-tab between the AH and the game faster than you can run from the AH to the mailbox in game anyway (especially with 2 monitors).

    IP ban the cheating ****s that are ruining for us people who payed money and are having fun!

    IP bans do nothing but block genuine users from accessing the game. It's a piece of cake to change your IP address.

    A far better solution would be to ban the MAC address of their modem.

    I hope you guys suspend the time table this time - when I post items I post them with full expectation that the bid duration will be available for bidding - when 1 low bid is on an item with a lot of time on it and then it goes offline with no chance for anyone to bid higher, the seller gets screwed...

    Thats what happened to me, I got ripped off and other ppl got enchant stones for like 1-5 AD that were up in the hundreds and thousands! I put them in there, they had a few bids on them and then it went down and by time it came back up my stuff was sold for the pennies it was in there for with 4 days remaining because no one could bid. Now i have stuff in there and on the last day of its bidding its gonna go down so I am going to get low AD for stuff worth more again! I am done using the AH in this game.

    Close Zen Shop (do refunds), close the AH. Make it a real open Beta with char wipe at the end of it.

    Angry and stupid, you see they call this an open beta, don't get me wrong, it's not an open beta, it hasn't been since they started taking money from the so called tester aka the players which was even before the "beta" began. Banning people would simply mean that they admit to being a bunch of ****ty liars and that this is in fact a soft release. I honestly have no idea how people still can't get that through their skulls. Write that on your note widget, OBT - Exploiting is what they expect you to do so they can fix it, not ban the beta players, it's the equivalent of firing your beta testers for doing their job right.
