Its so sad its funny

In ny 35 years I've discovered one universal truth - idiots breed, and they breed fast!

Bare with my with I give a little background story. I decided I needed more gold as I was running into resource issues (I was flat broke) on my latest project (5 x Shaman). As these girls were started on a different server to my main I had to fend for myself and earn my own way in the world. After trying to power level their professions (Alchemy, Enchanting, Jewel Crafting) I decided the best thing I could do I send some gold from my main server. And to do this I would need to transfer a character.

So I popped on to my main server piled 15 thousand gold on her and started the transfer process. Unfortunately the character I wanted to transfer is only level 27 so she has a gold limit of 300. And I didn't have any high level character I was willing to transfer. So I decided to purchase trade goods and then resll when she was transfered. The first problem I faced was actualy spending 15 thousand gold! You have no idea how hard it is. I didn't want to buy just anything, I had to be able to resell it on the new server without losing too much gold. So I bought all the trade goods I could find, Primals, Mooncloth, Shadowcloth, Shards, Essences etc. After finally spending the 15k I still had an empty bank bag. As I also had a fair amount of these goods on my main I decided to fill the remaining bank bag. After all the new server the girls were on was quickly becoming my main (Its my GF main server so I have to play there if you know what I mean).

So the muel was transfered and last night I listed most of the trade goods on the AH. I awoke this morning with a Christmass spring in my step as I ran to my computer to check the mail. As you would expect there was a LOT of bling and to my surprise there were a few in-game mails from people.

The first one said "HAX" the second one said "reported". The third one was polite, well structured and to the point. "I have reported you for hacking the world and making gold. No one can have 120 Primal Mooncloth without hacking. Good bye". I left my muel logged in doing an AH scan while I had breakfast and got ready for work. I came back to find my screen full of whispers from one of the people who mailed in. Not bothering to read any of the verbal diorhea I simply replied with "ni hao". Sure it was funny at the time but man did this guy take it poorly. LOL

I managed to have have a brief conversation with him. Basically he said it was "impossible" for anyone to have that much Primal Mooncloth without hacking nor was it possible for me to have 47 (or was it 57 I forget) Primal Might so he and his guild have reported me for "hacking the world". And "all chinese farmaz will be banned from da serverz". I tried, oh God I tried to explain to this poor guy what I did and how I transfered the goods from another server but he simply said I was "hacking the world".

Moral of the story, don't list 15-20K worth of goods in a single night as it brings out the idiots on the serer.

I still have a truck load of high priced items on the AH, I'm dying to see if I have any more in-game mails from idiots when I get home.

I was thinking about slowing dumping the goods but I was secretly curious what would happen if it listed EVERYTHING!

I've come to the conclusion that this server has a higher population of idiots than others I play on. It must be listed as "suitable for 12 year olds" someone on the internet.

I've done the same in the past during char transfers. Never got moaned about though. But then again, on arrival I intentionally didn't flood the market.

I'd say be patient, putting 10 or so max of any high level mat on at once for 2 reasons:

1) So to avoid this abuse
2) To not distort the market, (if you have 50 primal mooncloth all on at the same price, it forces others to undercut you and yours will not sell).

So just be patient, you dont need all the cash NOW! Put it on at average prices and wait for it to sell and you'll make 20% or so more anyway.

Normally when I'm farming mats for sale I respect the market and only list a few big ticket items at a time. But this time I had the opportunity to go to extremes and list EVERYTHING!

I was curious to see if
a) It sold
b) Market prices would dramatically change
c) If I received any comments
d) If any GM action / communication was taken


So far I've sold a lot of the smaller items but most of the big ticket items are still on the AH. 4000+ Mark of Sarg sold. 300+ Primal Life/Mana/Shadow sold. But all my primal cloth is still listed, Primal Mooncloth Bags don't even have bids at half the price. I'm surprised at what is selling and what is not. The market on this server is very different from the market on my old server.

Whatever does not sell today will set in the bank for a while and I'll slowly list it over time, as I normally would. But as an expierment its been interesting.

Noone buys Mooncloth bags of any kind anymore because Netherweave bags match their slots and are 10x cheaper ;p People with far too much gold on their hands buy those silly 400+g 20slotters(and with no less than 2 quests giving you 20slotters now + a 20slot drop in raids I think it's even less necessary) when they're basically paying 30g for 18slots or 400 more gold for 2 slots that won't ever make a difference lol; especially on a newer server where people don't have stockpiles up yet and/or those *bleeping* goldsellers haven't gotten their foothold yet.

Neat idea though, I'd never thought of transfers like that...let us know if anything else sells tomorrow :P
