I like that model with a twist tho. I would definitely go with more slots but for actual game cycle. You're a hunter, miner, crafter cycling minimum 10k? + 1 slot. You're a blank account only reselling, fine, 5 slots max. For orders too. How owning an apartment would make one need extra AH slots? While a very active crafter, miner hunter would obviously need extra slots to sell goods produced. Same for bids! You have no game activity (tt in), max 5 active bids. Why do you need slots for placing auctions and auction orders, or bids if you don't interact with the game... this would be the best use of dynamic AH access.
That's a very good idea, it makes a lot of sense. The suggestion I made regarding Apartment deeds giving you an extra auction slot is just an old idea of mine where I was actually trying to figure out more benefits to owning Apartments, but your idea with the cycle makes a lot more sense, absolutely.
It might be a bit tricky to figure out how this would work exactly, cycling varies vastly from week to week, if a player cycles a ton over a one week period and gets an additional 10 slots, how long do they get those slots for? If it's for a week, can I wait until the last day and then use them to list auctions for 7 days?
I could see this becoming a bit of a logistical nightmare. Planning for and managing my auction slots becomes tedious and the number of slots I actually have could end up being vastly different from week to week.
With the point system I proposed, the number of slots I'd have would be more static.
I do like the idea cause it makes a lot of sense. Maybe it should be based on the average daily cycle over the last 3 months, that should help to make things a bit more stable and predictable.
