Edit: Got a reply from support and Turns out I am an idiot, that I am completely wrong and that my interpretation of the ToU is reaaaaallly wrong. Happy scamming! Lock has been requested.
Hey people,
From time to time, there pops up threads about auction scams. Most often the conclusion "Dishonest but not illegal" is drawn from a big part of the playerbase, but guess what? YOU ARE WRONG!
I present to you, the Entropia Universe Account Terms of Use, a.k.a ToU.
Here is part 8c:
c. You cannot interfere with any other Participants ability to use and enjoy the Entropia Universe.
Raping someone in the ass by posting dishonest auctions, does exactly that. BUT WAIT! Lets move on toooo 8G:
g. You may not use the Entropia Universe to engage in any misleading or deceptive activity.
8O:
o. You may not interfere in any way with the virtual economy of Entropia Universe and/or with other Participants’ ability to use or enjoy the auction system or any other trading system in Entropia Universe. The foregoing includes, without limitations, the prohibition of manipulation or cause to manipulate statistical data, directly or indirectly. This prohibitions includes, without limitation, prohibition of price manipulation and/or price fixing regarding virtual items on the auction system.
Right, started reporting everyone who engages in this for breaching these three rules. I advice everyone of you others to do so as well. Now, lets never have that discussion again: Posting 1 CLD for the price of 10 breaches all three rules above, which means MA disapproves of it and it is possible to get BANNED for it. It is wrong in every single way.
Furthermore, if your sale goes through you breach another part of the ToU. If you brag about it on PCF, you break two more.
Good night!
