So this patch (v.208) added a 5s cd on searching in AH (without mention in the patch notes). Explanation, please and thank you? I get that if the AH was spammed with searching that could cause like lag problem or something, but otherwise I see no benefit or reason, since I don't think anyone would be spamming the AH search in the first place. I find it really annoying because I do quick search on a list of items using unique 3-5 letters just to check the lowest price.

    I read on reddit that hackers used to abuse AH with a hack to sell their items for the lowest price so i guess this slows them down a bit and makes it more annoying to them, but sadly also to legit players

    Ah, I guess when it's put that way, it makes sense, kind of like the recent 24h deletion cd. Thank you for that input.

    "Currently, we’re battling with illicit accounts that are repeatedly deleting and creating a massive number of characters after getting banned by our detection."

    There's the reason, whether it's actually effective, idk.
