Why is the Alliance AH so messed up?

Recommended Posts

So I've decided to create an alliance toon for fun (and faster BG queues) however I'm noticing the AH is kind of...messed up. Right now people are selling Copper Bars for 4s24cc and I just bought a stack of Copper Bar (20 of them) for 50s. Also noticed the enchanting materials are extremely cheap as well.

Is there any explanation as to why the prices are so low? There is also WAY less stuff (well, copper ore/bar and enchanting stuff) when you compared it to Horde.

That's considered the money maker for low level mats. Peacebloom sells for like 5 silver for a stack of 20. Same for light leather maybe a little bit more. Medium leather is less than 20 silver im pretty sure. Surprisingly Silversleaf was going for something like 50 silver for a stack of 20, but I dont believe that "profit" will last.

It's only very very certain mats that have any sort of meaningful value. I heard silver sells for a decent amount, and id assume gold along with that. Swiftthistle sells I think for like 25s for one. Money making on the AH is pretty limited until you can effectively farm whats in demand.

->everyone and their grandma is leveling using skinning + mining/herbalism.
->almost nobody needs low level junk
->AH is a last resort when it comes to selling anyway

So why can you sell those same mats for almost twice as much on Horde side? I mean, c'mon a 20 stack of Copper Bars for 50s...wtf

If Horde is selling stacks of copper bars for 1g I'd say the Horde side is messed up, not Alliance.

Also more PVP oriented people tend to join horde, which to be a serious contender requires engineering.  So more people by population % would be prone to level that profession.  Copper is a big part of the of leveling process for said profession.
