I am starting a new movement. My ign is Overbear, and I'm tired of these auction scammers who rip people off. I can't believe STS added the option to report someone for scam but calls this fair play. Incase you don't know, some people decide to put things in auction very high price in hopes that someone in a rush accidently buys them. For example, during this booty event, they might put a legendary booty chest for very high gold, with the intent to ripoff/scam someone.

Anyways, STS won't do anything so I'ma do something.
From now on, everytime I see a scam like this going on, I am going to list one for a higher value. The goal is that the person who would've been scammed buys mine instead, and I will pay back their gold! WE MUST FIGHT BACK THESE SCAMMERS FOR THE SAKE OF ARLOR! JOIN ME TODAY IN STOPPIN THESE SCAMS!

+1 make a guild it’ll be easy to communicate in-game

Also someone else posting for a bit less value would offer more protection. Thanks for the attempt, very much appreciated.

Solution = Slow down and pay attention to what you are doing..... There is no cure for becoming excited and doing hasty things...........

Pay attention and let them waste gold..........

You must be kidding, this thread can't be true...

Exactly all you have to do in this situation is make people aware

I'm not going to scam, why would I ruin my reputation over that. Sigh, maybe I won't do this after all.

I like the idea of starting an anti auction scammer movement, but I'm not sure about the way you'll do it. I'm not saying you won't give people back their money, but other people can think different things. +1 because this is the first post I see about someone taking initiative.

Don't list items in auc, people will purposely buy them because they know they will get their gold back. Unless say you list an item for 20m and tax is 1m, you pay them back 19m because the 1m was auc tax.

Its your time to shine,go put blotto crate 999m each 0=0,those crate sold fast every after boss died

Oh god the cringe is dripping. Just going to pretend I didn't read this. Good luck with your rebellion though.

If u dont have any idea for price then simply Ask in guild or go to expedition camp and ask merch players.

Cant call someone unfair if they wanna sell items for higher price.

So if I am spam buying awake gems in auc for 100k and I accidentally buy an awake gem in auc for 20m; I should ask guild or merch players for its price?

Aren't you just answering your own question?

Unfortunately, if a person decides to list an item that is 10x to 100x more expensive than the item fluctuation price, their intention is not for their items to be sold "for higher price", but to capitalize on people's hastiness, carelessness and inexperience. Someone with the intent for their items to be sold will not place their items at astronomical prices that no one will buy under normal circumstances. Unfair? Maybe not. Scummy? Definitely.

@OP I applaud your strong sense of justice and appreciate your efforts if they are genuine. However, I don't think its possible to know if everyone who joins the movement is genuine, and there's no way to monitor if they really will give back all the gold. By all means, keep doing what you're doing, but making it into a movement is risky.

I do think that whilst it is impossible to get rid of 100% of these scams, both the community and the devs can take steps towards lessening the amount of people that fall for them.

As a community, we can:
1. Be more aware and patient when buying from Auction
2. Don't hold onto a lot of gold, keep most of it in stash
3. Develop the habit of pressing the up arrow "^" above "Price/Unit" everytime you open Auction
4. Spread awareness of these type of scams, especially to new players

Devs can also help with this, especially for the sake of newer players. One suggestion is to make a "Tutorials" section in the menu, with one tutorial being "Popular scams to watch out for". Another suggestion is to make the Auction default to sort by Price/Unit, or maybe just get rid of Price/Stack entirely (not sure about this one).

I think the best solution to this would be to hide items that are listen in auc from players that we have ignored. This would put these people on the right tracks, after a while they will stop overprcing. Also they get a nice reward when they press "cancel all expired" everytime they list. Well deserved reward
