Now that Sniper is a first class feature, we’ve created an entirely new type of operation for Sniper.Īs shown by the screenshot above, there is just a single “Below custom price” option for specifying your max price while sniping within Sniper operations.
However, this has traditionally led to some confusion, and is a bit limiting. Our reason for putting the configuration in Shopping operations in TSM3 was that we felt users would likely have the same max price for Shopping as they would for Sniper. In TSM3, Sniper configuration is done at either a global level or within Shopping operations. We’re also adding an entirely new type of sniping in the form of a new Bid Sniper. In TSM4, we’re making Sniper a first class feature by adding new Sniper operations and a top-level Sniper tab to the Auction House frame. The Sniper feature allows for snatching up deals as quickly as possible once they are posted on the auction house by constantly scanning the most recently-posted auctions and comparing the buyout price with user-configured maximum prices at either a global or operation level. Sniper has long been a very popular feature of TradeSkillMaster, with many goblins even setting up a second, dedicated sniper account.
