mawd_luva Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 This can easily be prevented, in WoW you cannot buy items posted by your own account. Jagex can just track the IP address of the person who posted something on the GE, if that same IP tries to purchase that item (on a diff account) it will not be able to. Or atleast that seems like a possible solution. you know how easy it is to change your ip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atroxide Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sounds wicked, ill be sure to abuse this. lol, but ya know, after transferring all the money, its kinda pointless really, just keep it on your main file, and use it to help that account, don't waste it on a account that most end up dropping. Thats just an example. It can be useful for autoers selling their gold for real life cash :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightElzar Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I don't think it'll really be a problem, unless it's for trading gold. Item-wise: you transfer items. 1GP for Dragon 2 hander? Buy it out now. Gold-wise: ZOMG NO WAI CHEF'S HAT 3 MIL? BAI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I don't think that many have thought on using the GE as a drop trading help. But now when you have posted it, I'm not that sure about that none will use it as that. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Finally someone who thinks like me; That the GE is actually a great idea and that it will be good and not bad for merchanting! Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernalz2 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well that does raise a big point about the upcoming GE. Maybe they will make some sort of price reporting thing? Like if someone does something like that, other people there will be able to report as being a scam, or real-world-item trading, or anything else. I bet that they have thought of that though, they don't just release something like this, and not know what goes on in the game when there not looking. They will try and do something about it for sure though... ^^^Click for My Newgrounds Page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will H Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Selling 1 chicken for 10 mill isn't going to go unnoticed Thats what I thought. The GE actually will keep a log of what goes on, so it is far easier to drop trade by literally dropping. Besides, why are we questioning a system before we know what the system is? ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbagad Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 As somebody said earlier though, I doubt your item will still be for sale if you are logged out. I think the GE will only work for logged in players. Now of course I obviously don't know how it will work so this idea may not be true but I'm guessing it will be like that.

Sy_Accursed Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Jagex tracks suspect trades as it is. As well as checking out IP's Such interaction with an unbalanced trade and between two accounts of matching ip access would certainly flag up onJagex system for investigation. Plus I have a feeling certain items will have price caps placed on them within GE eg all store bought items can't go higher than the instore price I doubt Jagex would leave such a flaw in the trade system. We already known Jagex catches ppl trading junk for huge sums of cash on the same ip. So why would it be any different thru the GE?

Any item a store sells already has a price cap Infinite stock update made shops a cheaper way to get any shop item you wanted. So shop prices were all set just above the stable market price, therefore capping them. If market price matches or exceeds the store price people will just use stores. Besides all store bought items are stable, the unstable ones are rare drops. eg whips, barrows, rares Since I only said about shop bought items, my theory did not extend to these markets.

Skate4u Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Sounds wicked, ill be sure to abuse this. lol but don't both acc's have to be on at the same time to get the money/item and i know you can multi log and stuff but i doubt jagex would let that happen gwd drops:bandos:hiltx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_Hippy Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 With the release of the grand exchange in the near future, I can only foresee ways to abuse it. If the GE is going to work the way people have thought, as in a player puts up an item, then another player finds it and buys it. What is to stop a rich player from making a new account, putting up a say 'raw chicken' for an outrageous amount of gold, and the other account buying it, thus transferring the gold and breaking whatever rule number it is. Discuss, do you think this will be a major problem, or can jagex find ways to build around this if it indeed shows itself as a flaw. Ah don't worry, we have a system like this is other games, and it's not a problem. And, people selling cruddy stuff for high prices is normal in rune. Ever seen "SELLING SPINACH 5k!"? It won't be a major problem if a player know's what things are worth... Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?Final Fantasy 7Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Beaumonde Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Maybe the item you put in the GE will only be available to buyers when your online? Then that brings up the question of using multiple computers. Personally I say people should make there own money on there alts and not drop trade anyway.

tintin113 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 That is VERY good point, and I can't think of any way that Jagex would be able to put up a safeguard to stop that kind of thing happenning... This stinks , because if Jagex can't get a safeguard up to stop an obviously easy evasion then they may not even release it... :cry: Thanks to Quarra for the awesome sig!Xbox360 Gamertag = Tintin113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
