Controlling Netherweave Bags on Cata (Long Post)

[F9thRet]

I started doing this about two weeks before patch 4.01, and I manage to sell at least a dozen bags at 13-15 gold each every day. Now mind you this is on Gul'dan which is a low Alliance high horde server, with over all low population.

I imagine this well go up big time when Cata hits.

In fact, I've been making more gold off of it, then I have Frostweave bags for the last two-three months.

If you do this, and buy out all bags on the market and substitute your vastly overpriced bags as the only alternative, I'm pretty sure blizzard will smack you with the ban stick. "Exploitation of the economy" or "against the spirit of the game" or whatever you want to call it. I wouldn't care because I don't buy bags unless they're dirt cheap and I'm really, really desperate or have stupid amounts of cash sitting around doing nothing.

Wait a minute...George Soros, is that you?

This is as far from truth as possible really. There are people who make around 10k gold each day from the auction house. people with more then 1000k gold etc etc. Controlling the bag market is just minor.

Huh...funny. I know three people that have been given 72-hour breaks for exactly this sort of thing. One was doing it with enchanting mats, another did it with low-mid level green/blue gear and another was doing it back in the MC days with all the raid enchanting mats. I remember at the time thinking it was silly as the folks who usually listed that stuff kinda stopped putting it on the AH and just barked it in general chat, which defeated their attempt to corner the markets but they still ended up with the bans. /shrug

Guess it just depends on whether someone reports you for it.
