To everyone’s delight, Blizzard announced that they would change the Auction House minimum deposit cost from 1 Silver to 1 Copper in a hotfix earlier this week. To everyone’s dismay, they announced shortly after that this change wouldn’t go live until weekly maintenance on November 17th.
We’ve temporarily removed Auction House changes from yesterday’s update, as they will go live with scheduled weekly maintenance on November 17. They will appear again in the hotfixes update thereafter.
Since the launch of World of Warcraft Forever, players have been complaining about the minimum deposit cost of 1 silver being too high. And rightfully so! A deposit of 1 silver eats up most of the profit of any low-level items sold, as even a full stack of
Linen Cloth only sells for 4s 40c. That means that the deposit is nearly 25% of the profit!

So even though the reduction to the minimum deposit to 1c is a very welcome change, it’s a shame that we will have to wait until next week to see it implemented.
