TradeSkillMaster (continued)

I guess now that WoWInsider has spilled the beans on TSM it is only a matter of time before everyone with an ounce of sense will begin using (abusing) the addon.  [sigh]  I am on board.  I have no choice.  The other addons are deceptivly inferior or broken/discontinued.  TSM sucked up most of the talent to make its design team...

I use Panda, Auctionator, AuctionLite, and the staple of all (most) goblins- Auctioneer.  With TSM replacing QA, ZA, APM I must use it to fill that void.  I already said what I think the perfect AH addon would be but I am a but one small voice.

I can do everything I need to do with Panda and Auctionator but it just eats up all my play time.  I LOVE Panda FYI.  What a beautiful way to simplify professions.  Tiny little morsels of GUI-clicky goodness!  ...I digress, I hate getting "ranty".  I am going to try Norganna's answer to making glyphs to see if that will delay the TSM takeover.

On a different note...Rift.  Try the open beta currently underway but don't blame me if you find yourself spending less and less time in Azeroth.

I like it.  I don't like it.

I personally miss the simplicity of the QA scan, click queue, click buy materials, and then click to create each item (or multiples of that item).  Why make it harder...more complex...more resource heavy?

My idea for an easy to use AH addon- Make it intuitive.  I should be able to open the AH, wait a brief moment for the addon to get the information it needs then it can produce a pop-up screen (log style) of what has sold, not sold, and been undercut on.

Eliminate multiple steps, irrelevent settings, and options.  The mod should be called "Sell Stuff".

The addon should sell your stuff with competence.  It should create its own history in which to judge the market(s) it is competing with.  Done.  I can haz more gold and watch more TV.  Substitute "watch more TV" with your favorite past time.

In a perfect world...right?

Getting My Sea Legs Back

I have been absent and for that I apologise. I guess I feel a little overwhelmed and slightly irrelevant/redundant when it comes to blogging about gold. Once you create a blog with a narrow minded moniker it leaves you with few options to pursue for blog content. I know, I know...excuses. I am a perpetual procrastinator at times. I need to set some goals...

First goal (for now)- "Write something on my blog every day if possible. No excuses!"

I will do my best.

Quick tip- Roll three jewelcrafters. Have one do metas, one do blues, and one save all daily tokens for epic cuts when they come. If Blizzard decides to change the way epic patterns are purchased (i.e. pyrium powder) then those tokens can always be used to purchase a ton of Chimera's Eyes to be sold or traded for patterns or raw gems.
