[/b][lg]No Pranks on fellow traders, this posting thread is for serious exposures [/u]ONLY [u][b][sm]


Okay all, I will be the first to Post my Yantis Toon Suspect:
(Format, Name, Server, Explanation)

[/b]Keisl - Venril Sathir Server Bazaar - Explanation as follows [b]

Keisl one day in VS Bazaar appeared & everyone, within the day were exclaiming that they were logging off, happy that they sold all of their high end gear (ie, ornates, White dragon helm, etc.) When this was noticed many started looking for these items, suddenly a toon named Keisl was in bazaar trader mode, with all of aforementioned sales in his trader, from 129k up to 99999k etc... never spams, never logs out of trader, always in the same spot, never responds to tells, no afk message, etc. Fits the Yantis toon description.
Thx!

I am heating up the oil!

Getting the torches ready!

Polishing up the pitchforks!

Making garlic Necklaces!


Time for a good Revival!

I think I saw my neighbor turn into a bat once.....

Its not like this guy could be an uberguild mule, using the guild's plat funds to work the bazaar for more guild funds. I never hear of that happening.

Sounds like my trader too i have clocked up 280+ days in trader mode and i am not IGE i can tell you.



or he could be the new Uberguild Trader you can't tell.

Um... Not to mention that it's certainly not illegal to buy up a lot of high end gear and then sell it at a markup.

I think alot of folks are mixing together legitimate bazaar trade practices with "illegal" plat purchasing tactics used by IGE. You really need to stop looking at who's buying and selling what for what price in the bazaar. None of that is illegal, or even unwanted IMO.

What IGE is doing that's causing the problems is that they are creating a real world market for themselves. IGE is not working the bazaar market so they can get better gear for themselves, or make more plat so they can buy even better stuff. They do it for one reason and one reason only: To support their plat sales online for real world cash.

By having lots of seed plat to start with, they can corner certain markets in game, allowing them to raise the prices dramatically. This requires folks to buy more plat from them, increasing their profits in real cash. The great thing about their business model is that the inflation in EQ doesn't hurt them at all. They have no interest or care in getting more or better gear for themselves. All they care about is increasing the demand for plat (thus increasing their sales).


Just seeing someone working the bazaar isn't illegal or even an indicator of IGE at work. The real problem is the sale of plat in the first place. Remove that, and the other problems go away. Even better, you can't accidentally ban innocent people if you focus on nailing the folks selling plat. There is no legitimate reason for someone to be selling plat online and delivering it in game. If you ban just people doing that, then you wont ever ban an "honest" player. Targeting people who use market cornering tactics in the bazaar will result in some folks getting banned wrongly.

relaxe, there is a lot of stress in the air with the yantis/IGE buyout, and then add the stress of todays EQ servers being stupid and things get a little nuts.

ill say same thing i did before. if he is a yantis/IGE toon, then by god /petition, /report, bug etc. what ever to get SoE attention about this and hope and prey that they do their job. doubt they will, but you never know.

id love to see SoE ban all of the yantis/IGE accounts and accounts that have done business with them, then post the list of those accounts (toon(s) name per server) so all who know of them can spread the word to others and see about getting this junk stoped.

until SoE does something about it regular players really only have 2 choices.

1. deal with it and keep paying SoE
2. stop playing and stop paying SoE, as this seems to be all SoE cares about is getting their monthly fee.

Buy adventure points?
Are adventure points tradable?
I hope your talking about some other way of getting them, because I realy hope adventure points are'nt tradable. Adventure points are usualy fun and relatively easy to get, until you group with the almost too common-bad player.

Keisl is very well known on VS, as are several other mules with similar prices. Given that fact, it would be surprising if he wasn't being watched carefully by the GMs to see if he is just a top end trader with a lot of pp or is an exploiter and/or bot. Several months have gone by and he is still there, thus I suspect, whilst a pain in the ***** he is a legitimate trader.

Incidently, he does log off as a trader, as do the others. And in the final analysis, it's up to the players on VS to boycott the over-priced top end mules. I have always waited for the stuff I want, and Keisl has, and it has always turned up at a better price.

I come here and I read one complaint after another and one after another of we should do this or that or SoE should watch this toon or they should ban all the acounts of yantis/IGE. And then I read people saying that I can't buy this item cause of re-sellers marking up the price. Now what I see in game and online here (chat boards in general) and this is MY conclusion is that people are just to lazy now. Either they #1 By plat online and pay what-ever they need to for what they want.#2 They join uber guilds just to get one item then leave. or the most common #3 they jsut complain about SoE and yantis/IGE and keep dealing with the high prices. So what I would suggest is that you go farm your high end item(s) you want. And if you don't have friends that will help you.Then quit doing pick-up LdoN's and form a group of friends and each night let someone pick where you wanna go and for what or something like that. Now I see the complaints arlready I don't play enough to get do something like that or I don't play on consistant times/nights. Or I am not high enough Level to do that. Well then hey sorry to have to say it but that is the way this game works. More friends+LVL's=UBER lewt.
