heres are some things that I thought would improve the auction house.

1. allow us to see the exact time in the format of a clock when the auction would end ( would cause alot of slowdown if every item had a clock on it so just allow the clock to appear when you click on the desired item)

2. allow us to double filter items ( Ex. search for UV items that are the lowest price)

3. allow us to filter accesories such as fancy only

leave feedback or stuff that could improve the auction house that I mightve left out below

Just type in "Fancy" on the search.

It really isn't that hard.

Adding times will allow people to snipe auctions.

Meh.

1) Clocks won't slow things down much, but Alphastevo sort of addressed the more realistic issue.

2) Is it that much work to just look at things? The UV filter is already somewhat useless because there's not really a solid way of telling which UVs are better than others.

3) Derp.

Auction sniping; it happens anyway but is more difficult due to vague time descriptions.

Unless you are searching for an incredibly common 2* item (Autogun, et cetera) sort the search by having the lowest buyout price first and scroll through everything. If you want a decent deal enough this is not too much to ask for. I got a +3 undead Blaster for 5kCr buyout after two pages of searching; it is now a Valiance.

Before the name of the accessory it should have "fancy"; the coloration name comes first for all accessories. I do not know what an "assecory" is.

#3 was kinda legit. For some reason, when you searched colors before, the AH considered it as 'text too short' and not display any results. This was patched recently. Kive probably missed it since it didnt got a big flashy announcement.

good points

#1 I get that auctions would be snipable but that could be a good thing because then people actually know how much time is left and could drive up the price. which is good for the seller

#2 I guess youre right thats just me being lazy,but lets be honest wouldnt you like to see which are the cheapest or most expensive UV. If that isnt a good Idea then how about atleast the idea of allowing us to sort through the Types of UVs ( Ex. see all the ASI or CTR UVs only

#3 @Juances brung up a good point just type in fancy which I already do. The only thing is that once you type in fancy then the search bar is used so youll have to go through all the accessories( which isnt always a big problem since most of the time not alot are bein sold)

@Luguiru thx for pointing out a typo but you dont have to be such such a downer over it you obviously knew what I meant.

My idea

I think the auction house should have some sort of thing that lets you watch items that you are interested in, but haven't bid on yet. There has been countless times I've been browsing across the auction house and found something that is cool but I haven't quite made my mind up on whether I want it or not. I don't think sniping would be to big of a problem if this were to be used because of the vague time descriptions. Just thought having something like this would be useful if you're like me and are looking at a ton of different items.

I'd like to be able to access

I'd like to be able to access the auction house via a button from the ready room, without having to endure the crowding and spam of the haven town square. It would also make it more convenient for me to quickly check auction status.

I do like the suggestion for multiple sort options, because that sort of interface is pretty standard when presenting complex information.
