I'm just ticked that they removed the dragon previews on the AH. As an almost exclusively mobile user, it is a horrible, infuriating pain to have to click on each dragon and actually go to its freaking profile to even look at it properly. It's a ridiculous change and I think it's 100% pointless they removed it, and it's only hurting themselves- I don't even want to look at AH dragons anymore, and that used to be one of my favourite pastimes.

My only issue with the new AH is that the search options collapse automatically. I modify my searches all the time, I don't want to have to make it open again. An option to collapse it is great, but please not automatically.

I like the new functionality, but it looks like trash. [b]There's way too much information to take in at once, scattered all over the page.

I agree with the above bolded points [size=1]though with less harsh wording[/size] only because the new AH's format hurts me as a fodder sniper. Don't get me wrong, all the new features are amazing and it's obviously designed with user's suggestions and wants in mind (hunger bar! color ranges, thank you staff!), but it's really hard to hunt for fodder when you have to look at the dragon, look at the health bar, and by the time you click the Buy button + confirmation ..... Woops. Fodder is gone! This all takes a few seconds for every second counts in a big dom battle! I'm looking forward to seeing how it affects such battles though.

@VENNY Yes I know I will adapt to this new version some day, but there's the point. If the interface was user-friendly enough or nicely designed, I would not need to take my time to adapt myself to it nor muscle memory for using it wontedly. That itself is the inconvenience, not only all those additional scrolling and clicking needed.
@Chaos199 I meant the information are all scattered over the page. They are not aligned intensly enough, which makes it harder to take needed info at once. I also doubt if FR make an option to fix those parameters, though I really want it at least T_T haha.

I'm sure with use that I'll become accustomed to it, but it looks like a lot like the other "user marketplace" interfaces I've run into on other petsites and avoided because it was so user unfriendly and gross looking.

I'd love for the search interface to be placed at the bottom rather than the top. Would be nice to not have to scroll down every time I flip pages. So yeah, I agree. Over all tho, this is an improvement.

Agreed. Especially when I use my very small laptop... it hurts my wrist after a while

The AH has definitely gotten a lot more frustrating to use. :( Relisting items requires extra clicking because of the bad interface design - if not for all the empty, wasted space, there would be room for the search paramaters to be on the right side as they were before. Collecting our profits certainly has gotten easier, that was a big improvement!
Some things, though...are really a step backward, not forward. Surely the AH needed some adjustments but there was nothing wrong with the interface. As someone who lists a lot of items every day, it's always going to be tedious, but it's now gotten worse for no good reason. If only we had an option to use the old interface, or some sort of customization.
Even searching for dragons got easier in some ways but more difficult in others. The new search parameters are great, but the dragon thumbnails are so small I can't tell what's going on. Not only that but no dragon previews? It's really discouraging.

I have the same issue as ToonKuriboh, as I don't like the fact it collapses all the time, but I can see why it's good for people on mobile.
For the rest, this is fine.

I really don't like how the entire page refreshes when you click through the auction pages, that is super inconvenient and makes looking through the ah kind of a pain, unfortunately
The lack of structure and all of the blank space is frustrating too, it's hard to take in everything in a listing
And it seems really odd to me that despite adding things like the energy bar to dragon listings, so people wouldn't have to click on the dragon, it's impossible to see the dragon unless you click it anyway bc it's so small?

This. I don't really like how cluttered the new AH looks. I miss the simplicity of the old AH :(
