The Auction House III: Evil is Back

[Jester]

The AH has some issues with it, definitely. There's something I noticed in WoW, and people have carried it over into Diablo. At the beginning of WoW buyouts were really expensive, and people bid on items incrementally while ignoring the buyout. Overtime it shifted to an emphasis on "give me, NOW" on both buyer and seller - buyouts are lower comparatively, and bids are practically ignored.

Is that bad? Buyout seems to be the most efficient, and the more competitive the market, the more it also reflects the true market price of the item.
