Pointless Top 10: Auctioneer NPCs in World of Warcraft

[@kungfudragon321]

I love how Hesse transforming into a werewolf is just such a regular occurrence that the other auctioneers barely even acknowledge it anymore. I'd even imagine they got to the point where they mentally associate the sound of him transforming with the clock hitting 9 pm

[@augustvalek]

Shout-out to the auctioneers in booty bay, they didn't give any reputation, but always got caught in the crossfire while I was farming the "insane in the membrane" feat

[@unclvinny]

I like the auctioneers in Org who, when you walk away, say, "What, that's it?!? I got mouths to feed, pal!"

[@PiratDunkelbart]

Woa, feel sad for the son bringing coffee for his "mom" all for nothing.

[@martinbennett9908]

I drink that much coffee and I'm neither dead nor undead. Could change though, will keep you posted.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

This was fun. All these Pointless Top 10s are fun. You're a fun guy, Crendor. Kinda like a mushroom.

[@gigi3242]

"I just clapped my hands for no reason".... lol, so you. Have a wonderful week, thanks for the video.

[@Jacob-Vivimord]

Auctioneer Thathung was robbed.

[@dotsandboxesmaster3885]

Was coming to ask if he was snubbed for being promoted to guard or if being named after your notable appendage was just the wrong sort of notable

[@Kylora2112]

O RLY and YA RLY are from the Golden Age of the Internet ♥ I miss the old image macro memes...

[@Michael-uc2pn]

NO WAI

[@Local_Hobo]

Pointless wallpapers when (especially goblin buildings)

[@iaretyler]

The last thing I expected was a charged lemonade reference in a Crendor video lol.

[@scubastevewa8580]

i am not a butt bot, good video.

[@Valius_]

Hey Crendor, wanted to say thanks for including Hesse, he was always my favorite since Cataclysm and I was excited you included him. Thanks, have a good one sir 🙂

[@R0LL1NGTHUND3R86]

Auctioneer Stampy is probably my all time favorite NPC. Glad to see the love here!

[@druidl]

2:02 a “Robot-tomy” perhaps?

[@ckmondaviable]

I would love to hear crendor impersonate of those crazy fast speaking auctioneers!

[@slythwolf]

Sad not to see Thathung on this list, even though he changed careers in Cata. Is he really Thathung? He must be, it's right in the name.

[@ormoffat]

For as long as this series has gone on my jaw DROPPED when it became clear Crendor had not done Auctioneers

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

That Auctioneer Stampy one actually be an Era factoid and not a Vanilla factoid. Only the capitol cities in Vanilla had auction houses; so only Ironforge and Orgrimmar had them (Ironforge is the actual capitol of the alliance in Vanilla and not Stormwind). Other cities didn't get auctioneers until some time in TBC. I think close to the beginning. It could have also been the very end of Vanilla? But I'm pretty sure it was TBC. So those auctioneers not talking may be simply cos they were introduced for Era so they didn't have the voices done and nobody noticed.

[@conorhurley871]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Auctioneers in Shattrath! Only got added in around Cataclysm and pretty unique putting in new auctioneers for a dead zone.

[@brunosardine1]

I really appreciate you switching to SoD without saying anything for orly and yarly

[@MagusFlorren]

This one made me laugh every other minute. 10/10

[@josefkarny9]

But was it on the minute? Are you a homunculus?!

[@Overcrox]

Approximately 5 laughs in total...interesting.

[@MagusFlorren]

@@Overcrox hey that’s a lot of laughs considering I go weeks without cracking a smile 💀

[@Dreamer20124]

0:07 wait if you look at the ship, it looks like the model when the azeroth revamp comes out, how!?

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

I remember playing with a guy during official HC last year that had played WoW for like 10+ years? Missed Vanilla but he was there for Classic and played pretty much all Era after Classic release. He was a mage and he'd turn up to BB for post-Wbuff TPs to get the tip money and sometimes I'd go with him just cos we liked to play together. Got there early once and BB was empty, so he started exploring. He found the bank and auctioneers in BB that day lol. He was amazed. Never realised he could bank from BB. It just made me laugh cos he'd played the game for so long but the bank in BB isn't even hard to stumble across. I think the guards would even mention it for directions around BB.

[@DaWoWzer]

I would love for a new series of classic pointless top 10 to highlight some of the pointless things that we lost in cata.

[@Dapperplatypus]

It wouldn't fit in this video but an npc worth mentioning is Orbeck the unknown, he's in the leigon rogue order hall but he's dressed in gear from the trading post. Upon talking to him he'll say "What I've been here the whole time." It's funny because it's completely fucking useless

[@herryhardfoot6515]

The joke might be that Orbeck is a Tauren and there used to be memes about why Tauren couldn't be rogues.

[@Domdrok]

The auctioneer robot you have to build in your garrison is pretty cool. Also pretty much assured that a lot of people didn't have to go to their capital for any reason in WoD.

[@CastorRealista]

Was gonna riot until you put my boy Stampi in he list!!!

[@LoveOlsson98]

If you're creating a device meant to be used for auctioneering and your "programming is so superior" that only someone at the absolute top of the field of engineering can even interface it, your programming probably wasn't that superior. Edit: 04:46 This is just the best set up for a heartwarming story about the homunculus getting so lost in pretending to be this kids loving mother, that she eventually just starts seeing herself as his real mother. Could have her slowly break free from whatever undead programming was given to her, while she's still technically following it, as she's getting more and more attached to the life she is imitating. Then let the son and dad have some arc of them first being horrified by what she's become when they find out, and then slowly start accepting her for what she is. Or have them be suspicious of her, realizing something is wrong but not wanting to draw too much attention to it so she never notices. Have them come to terms with that even if something has happened to her, she's still someone they can love and care for and then have some reveal of them finding out who she is towards the end, her being terrified of the new life she's grown so attached to falling apart, just to have them be like "it's aight, we've known for a while homie(unculus)". Even better if the homunculus is built from mainly her corpse and retains some of her memories to be able to fit in better. If she has all the memories of the previous person, is there even a difference between them? Get on this Christie Golden.

[@Alt-o-holic47]

3:26 has me cackling over here

[@Tronarul]

how? HOOOOOOW?????? how do u still do it? just when I think there's no more pointless wow top 10s to do here u are, and this is one of you're best by me. Keep doing crendor stuff, you are a gem

[@outdoorsquidtank]

I remember when bfa was still live, I saw Madam gora was also in Balorus somewhere. I had a feeling she was also in zuldazar but I never looked.

[@disc06]

She was in both cities.

[@adams4075]

There also the auctioneer in Boralus in the tent where the engineer trainer as is only visible to engineers. My Goblin engineer doesn't know any BfA or SL as I did not do anything notable with my goblin in BfA. I also have no SL crafting (even though I can see it as unlearned) I did not do anything in that expansion.

[@Kafj302]

pointless top 10 TORCHES!!!

[@Grimdork713]

teldrassil

[@Kafj302]

@@Grimdork713 ~raises eyebrow~ i mean.... you aren't wrong......but then again it's wrong on levels where being correct is not the issue.

[@Sagewinds]

This may be a fever dream but i vaguely remember the old Stormwind AH npcs were named Amber, Crombie, and Fitch but they had to change their names for... legal reasons.

[@josejuanandrade4439]

You can visit the Darnasus auctioneers by talking to Zoridomi in Darkshore to transport to before the burn of Teldrassil.

[@gamithemighty5932]

actaully I think what might have happened with auctioneer zifa is that when blizsard made her quest reveal that she was a "homunculus" they were playing on the fact that so many opposing factions would just sneak into the auction house and kill the auctioneers, so now there is parody lore for why the auctioneers keep coming back to life. but that is just my own fan theory. and its just for fun, BACK OFF CANON BOYS!! I'm just having fun! I don't want no trouble okay?

[@Orochimaul]

the homunculus is crazy

[@ronsorage78]

You can still get to Darnassus in retail. You just have to talk to the bronze dragon in Darkshore just like undercity.

[@Gbusjones]

Props to crendor

[@krystelbeaulieu-thibault3621]

I'm sad you missed the Auction House in Zuldazar, no it's not the mount, it's the engineer one in the city near the blacksmith trainer.

[@rettbull9100]

What about the auctioneer in Tazavesh. Don't know it's name, but it's the only auctioneer in a dungeon.

[@el.chill.4]

you should make top 10 vehicles used in dungeons

[@5chr4pn3ll]

Wabang and Thathung in shambles

[@JonJonMorales]

9:40 was that lara croft lol

[@Sargasm1993]

You don't need to play Classic to see the AH you just talk to Zidormi and turn back time b4 the tree was burnt.

[@diddydoodat6764]

Cant remember if you've done this one already but Pointless top 10 treasure chests?

[@aksen303]

i was told to like the video.

[@BattlestarHavoc]

Almost 500k subs, lets go!! Keep it up.

[@kanegasi]

Some corrections: 1. Retail no longer has faction auction houses or a neutral auction house. Every auctioneer NPC accesses the same cross-faction auction house as of Patch 6.0.2. 2. Darnassus still exists in retail. You can talk to Zidormi at the speech bubble on the Darkshore map. 3. H.A.R.V.E.Y. is the Alliance auctioneer in Shrine of Seven Stars, D.E.N.T. is the Horde auctioneer in Shrine of Two Moons. Despite the construction of the shrines being the same, the names are different and general layout of the sections are somewhat mirrored. 4. Not really a correction, more of a clarification, but Auctioneer Hesse is a human during the 12 hours of "server day time" and a Worgen during the 12 hours of "server night time". The transition is at the same time as any other day/night transition, such as the Night Elf crit/haste racial and Sunscale/Nightfin vanilla fish availability. The day/night transition is synchronized across an entire region and does not match realm time. For NA, it is around 6:30am/6:30pm pacific. I don't recall if it's 6:30 during standard time or 6:30 during daylight savings, but server timings do not change so it may be either 5:30 or 7:30 throughout a portion of the year. To expand on "server timings not changing", standard time daily/weekly reset is 7am pacific while daylight savings reset is 8am pacific.

Loved hearing ye on Chilluminati this week, and then I get the special gift of seeing this immediately after finishing! I'd buy another evening of content like this at auction in a heartbeat.

[@Dethjaw]

Go Kingdra!

9:40 Lara Croft?

Auctioneer Golothas was always my go to guy whenever I had my hearth set to Darnassus. Best deals on the tree 🤘

[@FatGuyEngineer]

No.2 is the best cuz Tauren.

[@Isabella.Koerner]

As someone who loves the book 'Steppenwolf', I just came here to see if you'd include Auctioneer Hesse. Good job crendor, carry on!

[@thomassaikaley7867]

Ayyyy I’m early!

[@dreamons]

Should we be concerned that most of the Auctioneers on this list are dead?

[@codykaetzer2402]

Thank you for putting Stampi at number 2. I played a warrior in vanilla and he was always my auctioneer. I used TB because I had way less orgrimmar lag there, plus the bank and the forge/anvil was right there and I was a miner/smith. I use to grind copper in the venture co mine and sell it all through Stampi!

[@sdnw1840]

WAIT. Harvey Dent is Twoface!? I am just now, this very day, watching The Dark Knight, and you just spoiled what I can only assume is a major plot point. How dare you not give a spoiler warning!!! My day is ruined!

[@josejuanandrade4439]

Auctioneer Hessi is amazing. Dude goes from Worgen to negroW and back!

[@MattParkent]

Seems like Crendor went for a scoop of content but he started scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[@milkqt666]

Not necessarily every video has to be top ten. Even tho you know there’s more than 10.

[@Kafj302]

I am like number 51

[@fo-ef8qo]

ok

[@bellaususfitzpinguidpalate8732]

Hesse is properly pronounced Hess, not Hessy. 🇩🇪

[@brianmiller1077]

although wouldn't it be "Hess-uh" under standard German pronunciation?

[@yokaidokena3659]

The nights elf npcs were males, thus the pronouns he/him would be appropriate in the place of "they" as that denotes multiple people. Thats my one small nitpick, other than that, great video as always 😊

[@G-man47]

Auctioneer Chilton is useless too. That idiot doesn't even work for Blizzard anymore. Thank god cause he did way more damage to the game than Ghostcrawler did.
