What you say isn’t true even for a small number of auctions, though I grant if you’re just clearing your bags after a session, it doesn’t take long either way.īut when you are maintaining 100 or more auctions, which you surely are if you’re playing at all seriously, it makes the difference between selling lots and selling nothing on a busy raid night. You press one key to make a move, but the computer has done all the calculation without your even having to know what it was. Usieng TSM in WoW is like using a computer in Chess. It does the reading, recognition, decision depending on parameters, typing, and action far faster than a human can. In AH decisions, whan I use TSM in cancelling and listing, I honestly don’t know what TSM is going to do when I press Space of scroll my mouse. If you press Mortal Strike, you get Mortal Strike, not maybe Mortal Strike, maybe Charge, maybe something else, depending on the macro’s reading of the overall situation. The devs insert GCDs, and disallow logic in macros.
In the main game, the rule “one action, one keypress” makes sense because the link fom keypress to action has no complicated logic. If you want a principled reason, it is because PLAYING THE AH IS NOT LIKE PLAYING THE GAME. The problem is that it is TOO wonderful.Īnd it leads to these automated cancel-relist behaviours that do nothing useful for the market, but make the process of selling vastly more of a grind. So yes, I know it’s wonderful for Goblins.
You can’t do without it, because all the other Goblins are using it too, and it is far too powerful an advantage.
Just ban or break TSM, and any similar addon function. Here’s something I just posted, giving my reasons.
