A company is ruining the game...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 10.02.2007, 17:02

There is some company named [edited] selling all kind of stuff in big amounts for 0,01 caps, whatever it is, like 600 Advertisements Q6 for 0,01 each or a couple of 100000s of water for 0,01 each.

Everytime he puts the wares on the market, they are sold in an instant.

Am i just stupid not to buy from him, or are all those people buying going to be banned in a few days?
Whatever it is, it is unfair to sell at these rates and also unfair to buy...

Hey!

I was banned after buying from him, so I advice that you avoid his offers like today 1803 CET:

206 Advertisements xxx 2 0.01 2.06 buy
199 Advertisements xxx 1 0.01 1.99 buy
427 Advertisements xxx 7 0.01 4.27 buy

I would never buy those adds, but i am sorry for all those poor guys, who enjoy buying just to find out that they will be banned for it soon...

But another point is:
Where does he get all his wares from?
The only way i can imagine is buying lots of coins for real money, selling them for 50000 each and buying all the wares for these caps.

So there are many guys taking big profit from him, because he buys all their wares, for example all those advertisements...

Hey!

I don't think there is much problem. You have some money and gods at the beginning and when you sell your goods, you can just delete the account and start anew.

Yes, you may be right there. Didnt think about the possibility of deleting the account, but there is still the problem, that people like him are giving away their money at random to different companys, ignoring supply and demand or normal prices.

So he is ruining the market. But i think you cannot do anything about this...

There is flaw in this game. Forget about it.

Now all the advertisement market is empty and i am quite sure it is all because of this company. If i remember right, we had the same situation, too, yesterday, but i dont know, if he, too, was buying all advertisments...

Its really a problem, i think, the market for advertisements is totally ruined. What, if this guy has another company making money with advertisements? Not only can he buy his own advertisements from the other account, he can also make the market "fit" to his prices.

But he would not sell all those advertisements he buys then for 0,01, i think, if he is not totally stupid...

Nah if he give all the ads to the other account. The other account would be banned =). I believe his only want to enjoy ruining a game =)

The same has happened to the steel market, now...

I am really surprised that nothing has been done yet to stop these troubles. In the German version of the game, cheaters were dealt with surprisingly swift and efficiently.
A woman called Frecker was the nightmare of any would be game spoiler and cheater. But I guess, right now she is busy lancing another German browser game called Caribic Islands and thus might not have enough time to take care of the problems here

Hmmm? I didn't realize this was a problem, or that people could be banned for buying these products. I bought Apples the other day, for .10 in small quantities, for about 20 minutes before he stopped sending them to market. In all, it was about 1000 Apples I bought at that price, and I resold them for fairly good profit. I hope my eager entrepreneurial spirit is not going to get me banned, I really like it here!

Golden Water is right: Be careful what to buy on the market... anything too cheap will be seriously observed...
