Here is the 2 questions i asked recently to the support, i got the answer for the first, but not for the second yet.
I see often the following kind of scam :
A new item drop, or a player decide to sell a rare item. Their is no real MU for this item as it was never sold or as it is so rare that we can't consider the MU of 5 years ago (economy of the game was different).
Lets imagine i loot a UltimateIncredibleLaserRifle unlimited. It seems many people want it but I overpriced it, people are not ready to pay more than 50Kpeds for it.
I create a second avatar. I sell this item throw auction. People fight till 50Kpeds and stop little by little, but my second avatar continue to bid and bid. And finally someone who really want this item reach 75 Kpeds and get my nice new weapon.
But the price should never had reach this level, in reallity other buyers stopped at 50 K and it is my alter who have broke the bidding system.
So i asked this question to the support. According EULA this is something forbidden because :
- It is forbidden to use 2 avatars
- It is forbidden to manipulate MU and this is a kind of manipulation
The support answered me that they will do nothing in such case !! They will not punish the guy with 2 avatars and they will not revert the auction. (Exact answer is : "if investigation team does not contact you it means the auction will not be reverted")
So i asked them a new question : Does it mean it is allowed to do so ? Does it mean i am allowed to create a second avatar and manipulate auctions in the way i described ? Because if you do nothing against many current price manipulation we can see at auction (in current time period where lot of new items are looted), it means you allow people to ALL do in the same way. No reason only 4 or 5 people are allowed to act like this and others not !!
I am waiting the answer from the support. And i will copy it here.
What do you think about this ? Am i wrong ?
P.S. If i asked this question is that i was victim of such process once ! I learnt after to never buy an ubber item if one of the bidder is unknown or if he has no tracker stats that proof he really exists.
