I think it shows that we have a big problem with people not realizing that they are using the wrong AH addons or using AH addons incorrectly when in actuality they could be having a much better experience.įor historical purposes, the comment I linked has 34 points at the time of this writing. I’ve been thinking about the AH issues over the past few weeks, and the other day there was a comment in a reddit thread that really got me thinking. Inefficient AH addons create an indefinite negative game experience for players, and also contribute to AH lag. These inefficient addons also probably contribute greatly to unnecessary AH lag for other players. Since many people don’t fully understand AH intricacies or addon capabilities, they think that any inefficiencies they encounter with these addons are actually due to WoW’s systems being bad and, because of that, do not seek ways to improve their AH experience. Default AH UI is so terrible that players feel forced to use addons.
