You would have to learn how to spell auctions first..
I have been trying to become an auctioneer forever.. and yes I have noticed barely any auctions happening lately.. and I'm on a lot. It used to be whenever I got on there would be a crowd of people at the auction house, and at least 2 auctioneers on with their tags.. now I see people massing "ANY AUCTIONEERS ON!?!" and they never get to auction their stuff.. Seriously.. the head auctioneer hasn't been on in a week or more.. we need new auctioneers badly.
