Price history and cross server graphs, please check it. They are there for a reason. No one to blame but yourself if you don't.

Why do you assume they are all RMTs? More than once I've bought all the astral rings on the AH and sold them for more a few days later. >_> Am I an RMT for using the AH to make money like that?

I wish i had the money to invest intelligently like that. I'd manipulate everything that could be. Where does SE say its not legal to do so?
They're only able to manipulate the market due to people paying those prices, no one is pointing a gun to they're heads and saying "Buy or die".

This is something that I feel needs more attention / {Fast Cast} action by Square-Enix.

Those RMT's AH-manipulate the items too many days before somebody comes and ban them.

Just my two cents.

(Maneater is also another item not on your list highly manipulated)

Ya I went to Gilgamesh and said to myself WTH???

I can't believe that we true hardcore gamers can't stop this way of life....

Only the RMT will be held accountable for this sort of action, that's for sure!

No, but it makes you look like a jerk and subjects you to accusations!

Because they are buying and selling to each other at obviously lower prices than what had been the norm. You don't just put a Chiv chain up 4 times for 70k to be bought 4 times by the exact same person.

People who have these items are prone to accept this trend, sell their own items at this false low, based on auction house previous sales, only to have them bought back up by you later, so you can sell all of your items back to yourself again, but this time at a price double the original value, along with the items you scored at the false decreased value, and make a substantial profit, based on what are incorrect norms. People will assume that the raised price, is the price, and buy your items at prices generated by a false demand.



Oh.....my......god
Why didn't i think of this!?
Iam going to be richhhhhhh!

MAN I didn't know woodsville axe went that high! /runs to AH and sells it :)

But I'm curious why would items that drop in price be considered RMT >.>

Well soon as the bonanza items are distributed, items will drop like a fat kid eats cake!

RMT buy up all the stock of a particular item and sell it to themselves at a cheap price to clear all normal price history. Then they wait for people to sell said item at the manipulated cheap price until they buy a lot. Then they resell these cheap items to themselves at an inflated price to clear the cheap price history to sell the items they bought for the low price at a large profit.

It might be RMT doing this or regular players. Either way auction house manipulation is against the tos.

If it isnt RMT it is a hardcore guy with 8+ accounts and 4 comps all running at the same time with bots.

I remember at one point in the higher RMT activity times, the RSE belts (70ish?) and Pent rope were both targets for this sort of activity, and would frequently cross each other in price, and I would just switch back and forth between them and make money off the ah every couple of days while I slept.

If you can't beat them, profit off their hard work.

Edit: Meanwhile I have a ton of Jester's +1, and the AH keeps falling on those... I'm gonna sit on them... hehe.
