Not sure if this is a known issue or not, but if I buy more than about 10 of the same item they don't all show up on history.

I'm assuming there's not much that can be done about this, as FFXIAH only mines the data every so often, and if I push sales off the in game sales history before FFXIAH has a chance to mine them then they get missed?

Not a huge issue, just wondering if that actually is the reason for it, or if it's some other unknown bug.

I'm not posative but i want to say its because what ever program it is that checks the ah cant constantly be looking at all players and all items... it cycles id assume so if a large amount of transactions are done by one person any past 10-12 are probably missed. Atleast ive noticed this from buying ram horns.

It's a known problem, and is impossible to fix for the reasons you suspected.

In my experience, the in game auction house can take a couple minutes to update it's counts and buyer lists so even if the data slurper was running constantly, it could still miss some stuff.

Row, it was just an after thought, I was looking at my sales history and I was just like... hmmm... I'm pretty sure I bought more than ten of those, checked my inventory and noticed I had 14 after using a couple, so yeah, to do that I'd have to do it before I was done buying.

Ahh yes, totally didn't think of that. As I said, not a big issue, was jw if it was a known issue or not, guess so :)

It's not really an issue, I've asked an admin of this because it happens to me. From what was said, it's because of the updating of auction house information received. Because I had bought 20 gold imperial pieces and only about 8 were showing on here. So they know but it's just from the data collected.

I wouldn't say it's not an issue, it's just a very small one that FFXIAH admin have no control over.
