And yes, a regulated market wouldnt be great. Takes away one of AL's key components to being original.
But this does not mean others should be able to take advantage of the free market for their personal gain.
A punishment can bet set on people who do this on the regular, and foremost people who go as far as to clown on people they scammed.
Its a moral highground you only break when you either scam yourself, or feel no empathy for others -which is problematic-
A free market is great, But in no way should it be condoned to trick others into paying 20m for an awakening gem, regardless of the clumsiness.

A scam is a scam, thats what it all boils down to
Ask yourself this: if this happens to you, would you respond the same?
