I'm not sure why settings were moved to a webpage but my guess would be to simplify the application UI as well as allow changes on the backend without needing to push an application update.

Realm selection for up to 10 realm/factions including the option to uptade their AuctionDB and WoWuction data.

TradeSkillMaster Application Settings Webpage This tab gives you all the basic setting for the application including: TradeSkillMaster Application > App Setup/Status Now, on to the individual sections of the TradeSkillMaster Application. If this is really an accurate indication of what items are selling for as Sapu claims this may augment my old standby "120% TUJGEMedian" for certain items.Īgain this is the feature that I believe the developers are most excited about because it is a pricing source you can't find from any other auction house data source. That is quite a large gap and with the new TSM Application comes a few new TSM pricing sources including "DBGlobalSaleAvg".

In the example above we can see that TSM's new "Global Sale Average" for Moonfang's Paw is only 7 gold where all the other indicators on the tooltip are showing prices around 200-300.Īgain I could be wrong but it would seem that while people are posting Moonfang's Paw for 200-300 gold the ones the average price for those that are actually selling is only 7g. TradeSkillMaster Application Global Sale Average This is where the creators of TradeSkillMaster have applied their own "secret sauce" to build a more accurate price that "tells you exactly what people are paying for a given item" according to the quote from Sapu above.įrom what I can gather (and the TSM devs can correct me if I'm wrong) this is the price people are really paying for an item not just the price people are posting the item for. The feature that really sets the TSM Application apart from The Undermine Journal and WoWuction is the new Global Sale Average. This should allows for much more accurate pricing information. In addition having the application get data from the TradeSkillMaster servers rather than the Blizzard servers should help eliminate the issues some users were having with the TSM Application now getting data from Blizzard's servers properly. So in essence instead of having to have our TSM application open to get data every hour or so the TSM servers ping Blizzard for that info and when our TSM applications ping the TSM application it passes all the data its stored on to our TSM application. Displaying age might be nice but you can be assured that the data is as up-to-date as it can be!"

There no longer a need to be able to "Force Update" data. When the new app downloads data, it downloads everything up to that point, even if it had been closed for quite awhile. Well doing that you most definitely missed several scans during the day. Then you reopened it in the evening and go new data then.

say (with the old app) you opened in in the morning, got new data, and then closed it. Your data is, within a minute or so, always up-to date as much as is can be. I don't remember how often the app checks but I think it is extremely often, like <1 a minute. The app then pings our intermediary stuff for your realm to see if the data has been updated vs. Instead of your desktop app checking every X minutes (or forcing a recheck) our intermediary stuff is CONSTANTLY checking Blizzard for new data. Instead of downloading from Blizzard directly, we have some intermediary magic going on. "So just a little top level background about the new app. "The new application obviously can't get all of this data directly from Blizzard, so the app now goes data through a new TSM server we have setup to process the data from Blizzard and provide it to our users."įorum poster Muffin goes into a bit more detail on what the above means later in the thread: As for the server structure Sapu explains:
