    - Simply monitoring the serial number in tapatalk is not gonna work.
    - Monitoring the IP addresses of each forum user is not gonna work since forum user can use different PC in many places.

    There's no doubt your intention to this thread is for the betterment of the game, however it's not possible to implement this validation. I'm not even gonna start on specific person to monitor since as what I'm saying is just not possible to do this validation.

    What we can do so far is to educate ourselves as much as we can , it's just like IRL dude.

    And it does not have to be. Human dynamics affecting the market will be reflected regardless of any medium. 5 years ago, we had threads like this and no one has placed a conscious effort to put a cease to something as trivial as this. People have the inclination to do anything to win regardless of the method - which definitely can include unethical practices.

    In a utopia, the masses dictate how much a certain item should cost, but then again that's just being the idealist me.

    When you say that in a utopia the masses dictate how much a certain item should cost you are contradicting my opening post which is pertaining to the MINORITY con-men (if you would call it so), who manipulate market value using unethical means.

    Even if nothing is done about this, it generated awareness for the people who were unaware about it and I'm okay with just that if nothing else. Thanks for the free bumps though! Keep bumping awaaaayyy

    It's all in your imagination. If there is manipulation it probably only applies to those overpriced silly vanities anyway. Lesser items aren't even worth the time like people who are selling arcane shards for 3m now are being accused of over-pricing. For only a difference of 1m to 1.5m people who need it asap would easily pay the premium without hesitating. I overpay for cheap items that I need all the time and its not a big deal. Why would someone sell to an entitled cheapass when all it takes is one person to pay for their asking price?

    I’ve been on this game since 2013 even though I did quit a couple of times over the years I can tell you that the game has always been like this the player makes the prices of the eggs, gear , elix , etc.. prices go up and down that’s just the way the game is there’s nothing the devs can do I personally don’t see it as a problem it’s just apart of the grind when playing the game there’s a lot of pets but I’ll use sns as an example when it first came it was very rare only LB runners had so it went for about 90-100m that was even a lot back then at least to me it was then more flood the game and now it’s like 4m

    only a selected number of players can afford the 205gl daggers and only a handful are willing to buy them. chances are that these players are veterans who already know better and are unlikely to fall for price manipulation. if they can afford it and really want it they will overpay because these type of rare awakes do not have a set value. these are items are pretty much one of a kind. in the case of the person closing a thread and then reposting it, they do tend to get irritating but there's nothing we can do about that. their threads do stand out but people eventually avoid buying from them anyway. you can complain all day like you say but i suggest you do something productive instead because nothing is going to change.

    Default NOTE

    @lilweezy I'm backing up my argument with facts unlike your offensive nonsense for which you can't provide any facts to prove your point. Since you call it "MY IMAGINATION" I make my case. Take it or leave it. You don't run this game so don't behave like you own it and know what's good or what's worthless, move on.


    Note:
    Any further posts which attempt to derail the thread, create drama, throw shade because their insecurities got triggered because of my opening post, won't be receiving any responses

    I do agree with some of the points mentioned by lilweezy , the set example of 205gl is quite unique . Common awake items are 100gl - 125gl arcane items ranging from 60 - 70m. But for 205gl the seller could set the market price, since these awake is quite rare. I can offer as much as I could for how much gold as I have , but once it's beyond my gold then I won't buy it. I will know if the seller re-posted it because the awakes is quite similar to the previous one.

    But then again, if you're the buyer you should also limit yourself to as how much gold you can offer for these particular item.

    Hey guys. Thanks so much for this thread and letting us know how you feel about this issue. To clear things up, the short answer is yes--this can be bannable. One of the biggest rules in Arcane Legends is that if you are intentionally ruining the game experience for other players, or manipulating systems in a way they should not be used, we will take action. Using alts in the forums and/or in game to artificially inflate an item's price falls into this category and is NOT okay.

    Please report anyone you suspect of this behavior to support@spacetimestudios.com or report the post in the forums using the "Report Post" button.
