I don't know if anyone else has posted a thread like this one, but here goes
With help from a little rational thinking, the AH could easily be upgraded for the better. Start with the sorting system - Why would the AH show the highest buyouts? Every time i search for something, items with 100.000.000 AD buyout pops up. Does anyone even have that kind of money? No. Would anyone be willing to buy an item that expensive, if they can buy it much cheaper? No. Sort lowest buyout first.
Second, what's up with the AH fee? The 10% AD cut for goldsink is fine with me, every game has it, but why should it cost me 3.5k ADs to post an item with 150k buyout/bid? Remove it.
Third: Why does the AH search every time you change category? I know not to search for Dragon Eggs in the equipment category, but i didn't ask the AH to search, before i press the search button. This only results in 20 sec wait as a result of too many searches.
I think that was it so far.

Some pretty okay points, the first one is obvious, that should be done. Just doesn't make sense.
Second one, you know you get that posting fee back if it sells, right? I'm fine with this, will stop people from using Auction House as a temp storage if they want to list a bid at 999,999 then they'll have to pay for it. If it sells, like it should in the auction house, you get your money back.
Third, minor annoyance. Eh, the first one isn't that bad either, it's just especially annoying now that the AH is lagging.
Regardless, if they have spare time and one of the devs are bored, this would be a nice QoL change.
