A "Watch" option for the AH

One thing that has always bothered me a little bit was having to scroll through pages of items in the auction house to find a particular item. Sure, it's not hard to search for specific items, but I think it would be nice to have an option for us to put an item on a "watch" list. It would be another tab in the auction house, next to our current auctions and bids. So, with this, we could choose to put an item in the "watch" section without having to bid on it, and it would make it easier to keep track of multiple items at once. In addition to this, when any item on our watch list has its time shortened (like when an item goes from Medium to Short) we could receive in-game mail on the update in the event that we are not currently by the auction house to check up on it. This would make it loads easier to make sure that we don't miss out on a desired item even if we are busy.

Any thoughts? I'm not sure if this has been suggested before or not.

Edit: Grammar

I give 1+1=2 for this

That's a very good idea really , it is annoying when I have a X of CE and not converting it to CR because I am watching an item if it gets high in price later .

---------------------

Also I support the warning mail that the time has changed from Med - Short , Long - Med ect.... . But , not only for watching list , I want it for items I bidded on too. I waste alot of time sometimes on AH just to make sure that the item isn't taken from me D: .

Then if I bid on like 10 items and all of them change, it's spam

Spamming for me because once you bid on 100 and get 100 auction mails, AH would become a mail spammer or something

I'd keep it under current bids, no need for another tab.

@Benightz - AH ALREADY spams - I get 30-50 mails from AH every time I log in..

My suggestion would be to make it so that you only get the notifications if you're in-game - if you're offline, you don't get mail saying "The item has come closer to being bought, it now has a remaining."

The game already has that system for AH mails, if they did implement something new like this, it'd be reasonable to think they'd do the same.

Regardless, s'a good idea. Would be nice to keep an eye on stuff w/o needing to bid~
