			I don't see it being shit.  There's AH and the Cx.  What, you want them to include graphs of prices or something?	
----
			
I want the auction house to not reset when I make a purchase, I want it to not tell me "too many results", I want it to not show me repeated items at higher and higher price, I want it to have a search function that can specify types of decor (like the same ones the housing vendor has), I want to be able to go directly to a certain page rather than having to scroll+click 30 times to get to page 30, I want it to ask me how many items I'm looking to post, I want it to show the time left on my auction bids...
 
There's more but I feel that's enough to show why this auction house is in need of a rehaul.

			I once thought about comparing how many interactions it takes to find and buy (or price compare then sell) something in the Wildstar AH, and the equivalent in a few other games. I'm sure it's significant, and not in WS's favor.	
----
			I agree with you Esper the auction house is terrible and just overall clunky to use and could definitely use a good few QOL features or even a complete redesign. It constantly feels like im fighting with it to find anything I want and then when you do find what you want just hope that you only need one of the items because its even more infuriating when it all resets.

I sure do love typing 1000000 every time i want to post something to the AH for 1p...don't even get me started on more specific pricing.
 
Also is it just me or do some items just not seem searchable? Like I'll type in the first word of an item and sometimes it works for some, but not others? 
As example I can type in "Divine" and i will get every rune and rune frag within Divine. However if I type in "remarkable" I get 0 results

			We have been asking for a better AH from pretty much day 1 :(

The KBT decor shopper as of the latest release lets you search all decor by decor type, and when you find things you like if you are near AH you can tell it to search the AH for those specifically:)
 
I could conceivably add a function to filter the results by AH availability directly in the KBT search results, would people find this useful?
----
			
I'll start mulling over some possibilities.
 
In the meantime, it's not 100% what you want but you can use 
 
 
/eval Apollo.GetAddon("MarketplaceAuction").fnLastSearch(<pagenumber>)
 
to skip to various pages, just replace <pagenumber> with a number (1 less than the page, i.e. 0 for page 1, 1 for page 2, etc)	
----
			Ok this isn't really housing related, but I didn't think it was worth making a new addon over, so KBT now modifies AH to not reset to the first page of results when you click "Buy Now".	
----
			
The worst is scrolling through and buying something, getting reset back to page one and having to click every page back to the one I was on -.-
 
Katia, I love you, seriously. Keep up the great work.
 
Also the CX, only showing a limited number of results. SO ANNOYING UGHHH	
----
			Totally agree, AH and CX suck. But AH is the worst of the two, imo. I just want a way to easily look at Housing decor without going through close to 100 pages. I want to be able to search without it telling me "Too many items have this name" only for a manual search to prove that there is nothing with the same name.

			Currently testing update that prevents "too many results" :) I'll upload it if no bugs pop up for awhile.

			New version of KBT with automated search aggregator that handles the "too many results" problem. Be warned that this sends a lot of queries to the server and then gathers up all the results into one page, so if you make broad searches it may take awhile.	
----
			Now also removes results limit on CX:)	
----
			Katia is a goddess.	
----
			
My only problem with an addon that makes the AH not a pain the arse to use is that now Carbine's programmers can pretend the problem never existed in the first place. That's going to be a problem if Katia ever leaves the game!
 
But despite of that, that last update was seriously awesome.	
----
			
Three addons for this:
 
EZ Auction (AH)
Better MarketPlace (CX)
Commodity Stats (CX)	
----
			
There needs to be a tab for everything that is tradeable - yes I'm looking at you music scrolls.
 
Even though the Katia addon fixes the AH resetting and search limitations I think it's pretty poor form that we need to look to a third party to fix this. It's something we've all been wanting since the game started and if a player is able to find a fix why can't Carbine? I'd hate for this game to be the kind of game you need to load up on addons to make the basic functions more user friendly.

			Well good thing wildstar has some good developers that are not on the payroll that will fix the issues.Shendorion, the katia builder addon now also makes your pages not reset to page 1, and will also display all search results, no more mention of too many items  :)

Thank you, Fientje, for letting me know, and Katia for all your work on the UI!  I updated KBT and now the AH and my housing crate work exactly as they should.
 
I think CRB would have a much easier time keeping people online if this level of function came with the base UI.  I know WoW foisted a lot of the responsibility for developing the UI off on the community, but theirs was a much larger community with more to gain from developing a great UI mod.	
----
			sorry. my bid should be immediately return if any bidding high?	
----
			
whether my bet to return immediately if someone put a bet higher?	whether my bet to return immediately if someone put a bet higher

I need a button that will keep buying a commodity as long as the sell price is below whatever I entered for my buy order (or I run out of money), without me having to buy stuff in 200 unit chunks. Even that might be tolerable, if there wasn't the delay on clicking the Buy button.
 
Thank god for the addon that at least retains your entered amounts, as apparently CRB's default UI resets everything to 1, coz reasons!
