Keep in mind that this and several other addons with similar functionality have been in play for some time. These are not back-street exploits crafted for the cheater underground; they're out there in the mainstream on major addon sites. If Blizzard had an issue with them, they wouldn't last long.

With that in mind... Blizzard has made changes. QA3 (the basis for the addons highlighted in this article) used to queue up your auctions and post them all with a single mouse-click (according to your pricing specifications). With 4.0.1, that's changed. The addons will queue up auctions but you have to now click to continue with each posting.

Anyone who thinks these addons are going to auto-play the AH for them, they're mistaken. These are management addons that simplify the steps required. But it very much takes a player behind the controls to decide what the market information means and what needs to be done about it. I invite those who think this these addons auto-play the AH for them to jump in to the AH as soon as possible - they often are a great source of cheap materials and stock.

As an aside - I see all manner of misinformation about auction addons in General chat and now apparently here. My initial reaction was to think that people were trying to poison the well and cut out competition with misinformation. But then, I remember all the bogus information we see whenever information security issues (malware, authenticators, etc.) are discussed.
