HOw to lose 4mil in Dappers without really trying

[zumwalt]

I sell items (armor) at 150% markup, and weapons at around 200% markup.
So yes, it is possible to sell over 100% markup.

I think i know who got the cash - unfortunately, it was not me

Well my story is simple...was just out grinding and went to merchant to buy some mats (q70) . Wasn't paying attention and bought some choice resin (98 of them). Well to my suprise when I got done grinding and was going to buy more mats I discovered that I had bought choice PR resins. Don't know if the person was just storing them or what. If possible I would like to discuss with the owner of them, I could replace them if they wish or they can just keep the 4 mil I spent. It was my own fault for not looking at the price, but again I thought I was just buying grinding mats. If you can help me out please respond to this thread, if you wish to keep the dappers that is fine, it was my own stupidity.

I typically sell all Choice+ high Q, living and waving items for a 5000% markup... they sell quite regularly due to quality, bonuses and style.

Though I don't leave stuff on the market for storage purposes, it is not anyones fault that someone is not paying proper attention except the player themself. The proper use of filters and paying at least minimal attention to what your doing will prevent you from buying something you didn't want. If you WANT my stuff, you will pay a 5000% markup... ask anyone that sends me a /tell, I dont make deals. If you WANT to pay 4 million for something, do as you did last night.

Just stop blaming others....

I dont think the original poster of this thread was meaning to blame anyone DoubleTap. They seemed to merely be trying to get their money back or work something out with the person who sold/stored the original mats.

I dont think they wanted to change at all the current system we have in place.

You may be correct there, it was 2reddy that was whining about it. But we all know there is no name given when someone buys our wares. Given the large number of folks that don't frequent the forums, asking for your money back is pretty unlikely :

Well this is an expoit if I ever saw one. There should be a cap on sale prices.

This is the second time Ive read of ways to exploit the vender system. I wont mention the other to help keep it under control untill its fixed.

However, some of you here have added to the list. Please keep these to a minimum.

If you dont beleive me read this thread again carfully.

Apparently you have not seen an exploit .... let me try to give you a better example of what it might be:

in Beta you could get 250 harvesting in 30 minutes by digging non-existent source - exploit
running in mid-air so mobs cant reach you - exploit
killing with a heal bomb of long range - exploit
duplicated items in your bag - very useful exploit
Dying to a single mob that is 170 levels below you because you cant hit it - not your exploit but the mobs'

a few others I will not mention.


To be consistent:

Buying and reselling items for higher price - not exploit (although many made billions with that when server went live)
Gaining 3000 xp for digging 1 mat - prior to patch 1, not an exploit.
quite a few of others I will keep my mouth shut about since imbalance has not been fixed.
Crafting without limits in your bag

what are the difference between group 1 and 2?
In group 1 - software does not work as intended - programmatic errors allow individuals to take advantage of the system and bypass the security mechanisms.

Group 2 - software does work as intended but has not been balanced / tweaked properly due to ... (insert your reason here). Design errors allow individuals to take advantage of process mechanics.

See the difference?

About the list - why would anyone care?

I'd have to agree with that .... I know a player that was putting supreme PR mats on the vendor - i turned around a bought a few stacks of supreme amber of q200 for 10 mil someone was pissed (no names)
