I would like to suggest some improvements the Auction house could do. Here are some I would suggest.

When you make an auction and you want to sell 100 light shards, you should have the ability to choose the amount of items you would like to put.

Usually, some people are frusturated that they have to click there mouse about 100x. Now, we can probably add the feature to choose how much they would like to sell. The feature will save you from breaking your finger because of pressing the mouse button 100x. So there could be a box under the circle where you put the item, and you just put in a number and the number of the item will be added. If you would like to subtract an item, there could be another box where it has the minus button. If you add 100 and do 101 in the minus, then the circle box will have nothing.

Allow people to buy items also with energy

I'm not sure if people actually suggested this, but I would like to suggest that you can use energy to purchase items. If you are putting up an auction, you can have the ability to either accept energy, crowns or both (That means the first payment will be mailed). Only people who have extra energy they would use it. It might sound like the energy depot, but the people make their own prices.

If I have anymore, I will add more here. If I copied or used a bad idea, please don't make a big deal out of it. At least just a positive comment

Shift clicking adds ten of the item you shift clicked.

I never knew we can do that.

I never knew we can do that. But what I mean is to make a good amount instantly. Like if you decided to be random and put maybe 62 of them, then you just put 62.

How about taking off the number of items when you did it on mistake?

Shift and right click. :B
Admittedly, I would dearly like the ability to input the number of an item I want to sell. It is extremely irritating when I have to shift click repeatedly in order to get rid of the Light Shards cluttering up my inventory, although less irritating than selecting them one by one. +1 to the first idea.

As for the second... this would probably not help the energy market. At the moment, most rich people store their accumulated wealth in CE, and are forced to pay a fee in order to convert their funds quickly. This helps to reduce the price of CE if they go for the autosell option, and acts as a crown sink. Making AH items purchasable with energy would probably not work well, since it would remove this particular crown sink. Also, you're not clear as to whether this would involve using mist energy as well - if so, that would enable people to convert from mist to crystal from the buyer to the seller, which would be even worse. Someone could make instant CE if they had 2 accounts, by paying for an item they put up using mist energy, and then receiving the payment in crystal. As it stands, and as I understand it, it gets a -1 from me.
