So I'm sure some people have noticed, but sorting by price does not always lead to the most expensive/least expensive items appearing first. It seems to select some arbitrary subset of the items on the AH, and then it sorts that page and only that page by price. Sometimes to dig down to lower-priced items, you have to go to further pages, where each page is sorted by its subset of items' prices. From what I have heard, this is because doing large AH queries can be bandwidth/processor intensive, so selecting a subset of 50 items at once prevents overloads. However, this leads to an annoying problem: If someones post an extremely ridiculous number of items (say, 500+ large brilliant shards, which is what "Matsbankso" on the alliance side has done) then all other items are relegated to the last few pages. That means that, even if you sort by price, you will see that person's items first; to see everyone else's lower-priced items, you have to go through every page to get to the last few pages, in order to see them at all. As I see it, this is basically an exploit, and its consequence is a screwed-up economy because not everyone is aware that actual item prices from the server in general, are lower than the apparent price. I know this may not be intended - Auctioneer makes such actions ridiculously easy, and it's hugely convenient for people to post and buy the exact number of items they want, when they are there individually (as compared to stacks). It really screws with the game though.

Ohhhh that is wonderful. I had it back before nost went down, but forgot what it was called. This does indeed basically solve the problem (for me at least). But in all seriousness... Jesus christ why?

So earlier today I went out and managed to get a spot at the front of the line of priests to do this benediction quest. The first time, I failed; had someone come in and grief it by pulling the cleaner. The second time, it was broken because some other priest ran in through the tunnel. The third time though, I made it through 4 waves, and only let ~5 die. The peasants despawned, there was no cleaner that came through, and the quest giver did not despawn, and the event was over. But my quest did not complete. I've opened an ingame ticket ~6.5 hours ago but haven't gotten a response yet. Unfortunately, I did NOT record this. I tried to redo it, but some other priest ran in and grabbed it, causing the cleaner to come kill me. On top of that, which seemed buggy, the quest giver despawned, so I lost my chance to complete it before running BWL ~45 minutes later. Is there any way I can get help here? It's likely I will be unable to finish the quest, at least for several more days, given the high number of priests constantly trying to run it. Thanks :) edit - for clarity, my ingame name is Stboltzmann.

:(

I was here too (Stboltzmann). We got loot off the first three bosses, but not the latter 3 (drakes)...we are being told that the videos do not show the raid ID in them, so nothing is going to be done? The raid ID is 1734, and it should be obvious from their character records that everyone locked to it did not get any loot from the three drakes...

So I type in my password, and it goes through all of the above prompts. I tried logging in with another account, flushing my DNS cache, rebooting my router, and rebooting my machine. The realmlist is set to 164.132.233.125. Any ideas? I've walked away from my machine for 15 minutes and tried again, but I just get this perpetually. Even sat there spamming it for a solid 10 minutes with zero success. I was logged in earlier just fine :\ edit: If it means anything, the server named in the bottom right corner of the screen is "QA Test Realm 1.2" rather than the PvP one. Would that cause this? How would I fix that if it's the problem?
