The Mal'Ganis Auction House

I found this post on the "My Auction House Banker" blog that shed new light on why certain glyphs sell for different prices:

Sums up my experiences pretty well and explains why sometimes terrible glyphs rise to the top of the craft queue. I'm going to take a whack at building something to control for that behaviour.

In other news, GDKP runs have taken off - I'm looking forward to buying a new warlock suit made out of TOTC drops.

AddonSilencer

Well, my first (and probably only) attempt to upload an addon to Curse was rejected. 


For the last little while, I've been bothered by the amount of addon spam generated by addons like Gearscore generate. On EJ's forums, Burghy posted a script that makes you stop communicating using the addon communication channel:

/script SendAddonMessage = function() end

I used this for a while and it certainly quieted things down. Since I always execute this whenever I log in (because GS sends a ridiculous amount of data to everyone), I figured I'd hack together a basic addon to perform the same function.

Bear in mind, I would disable this if you are a healer running healcom or the like. Personally, I don't want my addons talking to anyone else, so I'm more than happy to shut Carbonite / Gearscore / Forte up for good. If you're in a big guild or pug alot, give it a whirl.
