I'm sure everyone knows of the market glitch. You buy someone's item on market, they lose the item, but you get your money back. I'd like to share a screen shots with everyone. People are PURPOSELY doing this to make another player lose an item. Example: Paris gloves are going for 2500, yet this particular individual bought mine for 4k. These items were on market for weeks, now you guys are trying to buy it during a day full of glitches? Don't tell me you "don't know about the glitch".

Really GUYS? REALLY? YOU'RE PURPOSELY ABUSING A BUG EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW IT'S AGAINST THE RULES?

[joseamty]

and why u have ur market open #11 close it

[Mosz]

so you had it for 4k so... you hopped someone would abuse the bug and would get money later?

Some shops are 24/7.

So I totally predicted a database failure.

Like I said, the gloves were there for 4k for weeks. Get the GM's to check the log if you want. You don't have to buy things on the market if you don't like the price. Your reply to my post makes perfect sense bro.

Well I was sure happy to lose 9k overnight

well either they'll roll it back and you get back item, or they fix the coin and you get overprice for it, so nothing to loose, yup makes sense, pretty simple, simple logic bro

I know they'll fix the game. This thread is not about getting back the items, it's about people's intention for doing such a thing.

[Rimmy]

As mentioned in the pinned thread regarding this matter, users who knowingly exploit bugs, glitches, or other such issues with game mechanics in this manner could potentially face punishment for doing so. Please refrain from such abuse, for your own sake as well as the sake of your fellow players.

That's a nice sum of gold you got there, Sam.

You are all missing the point of the first post. or at least what i wish it had actually meant.

Despite his pricing. let me use my example, i HAD several low priced items 2-300 gold for new origin items bracelet/earrings etc.
now after being in market for 4-5 days now. They are all gone, my entire market. so i'm still at 157 gold, and yet the 1400 or so gold i might have made is now gone.
get my money back? screw that, The SERVER HAS TO ROLLBACK.

Why you ask? because several, if not dozens of people have bought items, and received their money back. Then purchased again. Even if i were to get my 1200 gold from the singular, or multiple players that purchased. IF they were using the bug they also spent 1200 or more on other items. What if they only had 1200 gold total? or even idk. 400 gold? This would either a) create gold not in the game B ) cause that player has so many items now, make him rich as he resells them, thus creating even more gold undeserved, and unearned.

If the game mods don't roll the game back i'll be quitting. That's all there is to it. Because all the other bugs have made me very tired of playing in general. This is by far the biggest and largest straw (and by straw i mean a huge redwood) that crushed not only the camels back but every damn thing in sight.

Yep I purposely risk 10kg worth of items just cause I know that people will exploit bugs and by chance I will get my items back or the gold. Geez some people just have to get defensive and come up with such absurd logic to justify their actions. If anything I think these transactions should be confirmed and the buyer should lose the gold they use to buy the items if there's any justice. That's good enough punishment for me, you get what you pay for.

[Kazu731]

ohsnap has it right. But the only practical solution--because realize someone has to actually manually fix this--is a rollback.

[Miname]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that as soon as the server resets, the markets and guild vaults will roll back just like players' inventories.
Just an educated guess.

That would make sense.

[Nylet]

Can anyone tell me exactly when it began to be against the rules to buy things from the market?

Closing this thread before it turns into another flame war. Until the staff resolve the current issues, please refrain from making further topics about alleged exploitation. Earlier I had missed the implication regarding specific players in the OP. "Calling out" players in this manner is not permitted on the public forums, so if you would like to make a complaint about a player, send a PM to one of the GMs.
