Controlling Netherweave Bags on Cata (Long Post)

[Starbuck_Jones]

Long time ago in a game far far away called Everquest, I controlled the terrorantual silk market on my server. I was only able to do this because I had a source of the mats that 99% of the people did not. If it wasn't for being able to farm 5 silks for every one I bought below my set market price, this would not have worked at all.

Today was something interesting in the Frostweave market on my server. Alliance side there were around 5 stacks of cloth in the 60g range. People were barking in trade for cloth in the 20-60g range. Horde side had some 150+ frostweave auctions in the 12-20g a stack range. In about 30min worth of buying on the horde, selling to through the neutral AH and reposting on the alliance side. I was able to make a quick 1200g.

When I did this, I did not worry about any sniper bots because I had plenty of cash on both factions. Buy for <20. Sell for 30 on the neutral and sold for 60 on the alliance side. If I had been sniped, I still would have made coin.

I looked into controlling a market once.

Did a bit of research, found some blue posts on this.
They said playing the market was okay, as long as you didn't gouge other players.
Going beyond 10x the normal price was too far, but up to about 10x was fine.

So I figure it will be impossible to control the Netherweave market. There is no way I can buy out the botters. And when I buy out the stock, they botters will just undercut and supply way too much cloth.

I have taken pro-active steps to get them banned.


Here is the ticket I submitted.
Will it work?
Should I post it from all 6 accounts?

Bots are running in Ramparts. All level 80 with irregular names. All in BOE blues, with lower than 100 achie points, and all having reached level 80 based on their WOW armoury feed in an inhuman speed. No professions.

I tried a /invite but it timed out (Not declined).
They all have identical 3/2/31 spec.

Server time 6am.

Example names (but there are more):
Asscxz
Wiltje
Sosokeo
Vekokok (290 kills - No other bosses)
Keldian
Akoiui
etc..

Guild name: COCOMILIBAK

Please respond with details.

Doesn't hurt to alert Blizzard.
But you won't know of any disciplinary actions they take or don't take.
