Temp banned...

[Nighteagle]

Was just wondering how this works. My friend got temp banned over the weekend for selling an item a little higher than what is was selling for. Cursed Cap to be exact. Angel Skin costs 450-500k now on fenrir, and NQ caps were going for 160-180k. So me and him were trying to raise the price, if even a little. So i had him put 1 on AH i crafted for 1gil while i bought for 300k. Well... apparently a lot of people reported him on GM calls because of this, and he got temp banned for "gouging the price". Even tho crafters still lose quite a bit of money on a tier0 synth. I've seen TONS of people do this on items, so why the in the hell does something this small get a temp ban?

Oh, and some guy had tanked the price down from 400k > 160k, why dont he get temp banned for gouging the price?

Isn't that price un-gouging?

Ouch, that sucks. Maybe I'm not seeing the larger picture, but that seems to be really trivial in regards to things that happen on a daily basis.

Probably a bored GM that day.

sounds like bad luck... or that the GMs are so anal about RMT now that they have begun to ruin decent marketing tactics. many ppl have done this in order to raise the price to something tolerable. sorry to hear that

[Saraphym]

wait wut? I didn't know you can get banned for something like this?

[Nighteagle]

guess thisll mean ill have to text him next time when i wanna do this, and ill be the 1 who sells so he dont get in trouble. No text = GMs dont got proof of shit. Then we could say we just sold it

[Lordender]

sounds like you got a retarded gm, i havent heard of anyone getting banned for that before >.>

[Nighteagle]

my friend said people reported him as an RMT b/c he was "raising the price at a drastic rate" lmao. So they immediately temp banned him while they investigated, how fucked up is that?

[fantasticdan]

Isn't that price un-gouging?

No, that's actually price gouging. You are thinking of like, price un-cutting? lol

Oh, I was referring to

"Oh, and some guy had tanked the price down from 400k > 160k, why dont he get temp banned for gouging the price?"

[Spekkio]

you might try having your friend contact an SGM over it. i have heard of instances where that's helped. few and far between, but anything's better than nothing.

Fix'd for correctiveness and stuff.

The funny thing is, I suspect RMT crafters cutting prices to squeee others out of the market. Meat Mithkabobs for break even prices happen regulary on Odin when somebody else tries to sell them. I once kept undercutting the Hx-band for a whole weekend, but as a regular player you can't keep up with that shit.

Temp banned for... capitalism?

This was my guess too

Good job STFU

I'm starting to think SE doesn't want anyone to play this game

I have been doing price gouging for months and have never had any complains. I personally see no reason for anyone to complain about that. There are usually more sellers than buyers in the economy now so price will go down even if it is raised after a while. Unless I see a picture, I won't believe it yet >.>

I find it a bit funny that you finally chose to gouge price, after you un-gouged it v.s. me before

[Nighteagle]

lol ashiya you newb. Hey ash, is there someone named Mikomiko in your ls by any chance? BeyondTheLimitation or whatever?
