Cant sory by close date
Cant filter by text input
Cant filter by lvl range

Everyone is making alt accounts to sell stuff with stalls cos the AH is just such a huge blinking MESS :(

Please try and work something out to make the auction system work like almost every other game has, even sword of the new world has one thats 10x better.

    Learn to use it. There's a search option and oyu can organize it by weapon fashoin armor ect ect and it then organizes it by level.

    I do agree with the auction house being a mess and people using more "stalls” than necessary . But lets say why it’s a mess than just saying it’s a mess.

    1st a 500 coin fee for a any product you want to sell. And if a product does not sell you get 250 back ( only half) Plus if you DO sell your product they take a additional % on top of that. So anyone starting out in say a trade has no chance of making any money using this tool . The fee should be a one time % of the sale price period and nothing if the product does not sell.

    2nd There should be a quest for it to get people to know how to use it and get use to using it to cut down on the amount stalls all over the major cities which let face it, cause lag , look terrible and most of the time are starting to block the view of what your looking for. Which on a side note. A quick suggestion here might be to have designated areas in the cities for the stalls. That way people know where they all are if they want to shop at them and out of the way of people that don’t want to deal with them.

    I have to agree that the auction house needs major work. I am currently level 22 and have not yet used it at all because of how expensive it is. 500 coin for a one day auction is awful. One day is not enough time to get a real price history established for most items so you never know what anything is worth and most lower level items are not even worth 500 coin. Even if I have something worth a couple thousand it is not worth listing it at auction and taking the risk that it will not sell in the one day that it has.

    I also have to agree that the search needs a ton of work. Sure you can search by weapon, fashion, armor, etc., but you can only look up one item at a time. What I mean is, if you want to look at all wands that is not a choice. You have to go into the wand list and pick one specific wand, then the Use Filter button will light up so you can search. If you simply want to look at all of a certain category of item that is not a choice. And like the first poster said, the ability to search by level range would be very nice.

    I am looking forward to getting a stall set up soon myself since it seems to be the only way to sell things reliably for a decent price. My inventory only has a few slots left because I have so many things I want to sell to other players, but the awful auction house system with its huge fees is so bad I am not willing to gamble trying to use it.

    also theres lots of stuff missing like the Tuckahoe, and the Beast Bloods from the FB bosses, u just cant find these in the AH because they are not in the AH. Tuckahoes are not in the herb section and didnt find it anywhere else in the material list nor in the "other" list. same with BeastBlood, just nowhere....so pls add these.

    When I try to type something into the search field no letters show up, I cannot put anything into that field.
    The auction house does not show more than 20 items when I'm sure there is much more items up for auction.

    To me, until it works, it's entirely useless.
