With the changes to the default auction house #1659

Classic

What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?

The current default behavior of undercutting the lowest price when selling items is creating a constant race to the bottom in pricing. Since the update to the auction house makes it operate on a LIFO basis (last in, first out), even matching the current lowest price would still give users a fair shot at selling without instantly driving down value. This setup ends up putting users in a cycle of shrinking profits.

What solution would you like?

I’d love to see the default sell behavior changed so it matches the current lowest price instead of undercutting it. That small adjustment could help stabilize prices and reduce unnecessary competition, especially given how the auction system now favors newer listings automatically when purchasing.

Any alternatives you can think of?
