[WoW] damn farmers

If you don't want to sell the purple items for low amounts, don't put them on the AH for low amounts.

Actually, most of the farmers on Argent Dawn are not so obvious about it... what I'm referring to is that someone put up a very nice item (Alcor's Sunrazor) on the AH for an absurdly low starting price (40 gold) with a buyout of 2000 gold.

Well, naturally, I started bidding on it. So did a couple other people. It took a few hours, but I had the high bid at around 220 gold. (I would like to note that I had time to go to the grocery store and take a nap during all this. I wasn't on WoW for hours at a stretch this time.) The seller realizes that it's not going to do any higher then this, as it stayed at that price (220 gold) for over an hour and a half, and cancelled the auction.

Now, I do believe that they are well within their rights to do so, but if they didn't want it to go for such a low amount, why did they start it at such a low amount? And yes, it was back up moments after the auction was cancelled. Minimum bid of 1950 gold, buyout of 2000 gold.

It's a nice item, but it's not a 2k gold nice item.

You play on Argent Dawn? Horde, I assume?

Hey! I resemble that remark. :D

I've played both sides, and maybe it's just me, but the Alliance has much easier going early on. And their quest rewards are a good bit higher as well.

Of course, I also haven't played in months largely in part due to playing EQ2 and Dragon Quest VIII.
