In July 2024, World of Warcraft introduced several significant changes to the trading and auction systems, aimed at improving user experience and convenience.
Auction House and WoW Companion App: With the latest update, the WoW Companion mobile app now allows players to buy and sell items at the auction house directly from their mobile devices. Players can view current auctions, place bids, search for desired items, add and remove items from favorites, and list or cancel their own auctions. This change enables players to manage their auction listings even when they are not at their computers, significantly simplifying the trading process in the game.
Regional Commodity Listings: With update 9.2.7, all auction houses within a region will now share commodity listings (e.g., gems, herbs, flasks, and other consumables). Weapons and armor will remain server-specific. This change helps balance commodity prices, making them more accessible to players on less populated servers, where prices were often higher due to fewer sellers and buyers.
New Trade Services Chat Channel: A new chat channel has been introduced specifically for finding and advertising services such as raiding, dungeons, or PvP activities. This channel helps players interested in these services avoid unnecessary noise in the main trade channel. This innovation allows the main trade channel to be used more efficiently for traditional item buying and selling, improving organization and reducing clutter in chat.
