Auction House dirty tactics

[Deleted]

So what if an auction player with another account rolled a rogue on the other faction and was ganking competitors in blah, killing them, wasting their time, would it be considered legit by blizzard?

[Jarg]

Blizzard would ban him for harassing IMO.

[vep]

Harassment, as it was said already. Also, immensely stupid. You aim to "waste their time" but you are wasting more of your time...

It's just an incredibly stupid idea.

[Deleted]

but you are wasting more of your time...

nop. two accounts.

nop. two accounts.

Oh yeah. And rogues are level 85 premades on live servers, too .. right ..

I don't see a problem with the idea, at least I don't see one if we ignore the fact that this has to be the most stupid idea of wow history.

Really?

How about we make you President of WoW. Is it more intelligent?

[Angryshammy]

please do this.. there are 2-3 different auction houses in every major city... plus the neutral ones. Tell me how that all works out for you.

If they have been in the city for more than 5mins they won't be toggled PVP unless they always have it on, plus one rogue agaisnt a AH full of players may not have too much success.

PvP solution to the problem.

The "ethical" issue with that ("gaming ethics") is that the player does not have one account. He uses several hence he has an advantage - by design and de facto - over the attacked player, individually.

So, if you take player 1 being attacked by player 2 with 2 or more accounts then player 1 is not playing on a fair game.

It's "fair" only in a .."capitalist" approach. "I pay more hence I get more rights". Though, this is obviously contested, not universal and controversial because the norm on sports and games in general is to have a fair ground.

I mean, nobody enters a football field and says "I paid more hence I demand more loose rules for me".

[Vargur]

I don't understand this thread. Seriously.

So, to improve your chances of selling items, you want to make a whole new account. Level a rogue of the opposite faction up to 85, go alone into the enemy city AH and "kill" the competition?

What about...
Players not having pvp enabled in cities?
1 vs many many more
You spend more time corpse running
There's way more than 1 AH open
And if you do kill one of the auction guys (Can they be killed?) Won't they respawn rather fast anyway.

You aren't flagged in cities.

It's also considered harrasment.

[Aceshigh]

Pretty sure if a player was camping you and continually killing you to eliminate their AH competition Blizz wouldn't say "hire a bodyguard" lol

[Justys]

If you play on pvp server you agree to pvp everywhere and at any time, no harrasment here.

Faction cities aren't flagged. You only have pvp on if you came from a pvp zone, for 5 minutes. So this idea doesn't really work.

First, Blizzard has said in many threads that multi-boxing is legal, hence your argument that two accounts vs one account is wrong.
Second, it is clear you have no clue how Capitalism works when you write something like "I pay more hence I get more rights"

Love to hear you explain that one.

This would only work in theory. There are too many ways to combat 1 rogue that wants to be a pain in the ass. Now if you have a powerful guild willing to pwn the BMAH... than that's another story.

[dgreen]

It doesn't really matter if it's ethical. It just wouldn't work. You aren't flagged for pvp when sitting in a capitol city.

[Deleted]

waste of time. he would have to log his character when he knew the other person was online. Use another ah, use another toon or get someone else to list or buy. It would only be harassment if it amounted to their definition of harassment. Easier to aboid than wasting time on a ticket. Uf they were following you areound and conducting a campaign, then they might consider it, but really its easy enough to avoid.

Also why on earth would anyone waste theur time trying to stop someone using the neutral ah?

[Deleted]

BMAH

Of course in that case if friends on different accounts gank, it's perfectly "gaming ethical".

By the way, I don't answer to some scribblings in here by others because they don't deserve my time. Learn to read and realize I don't talk about doing it myself. If you could read beyond the first sentence you'd see I'm not even pro-multiboxing.

Also, the fact blizzard allows multiboxing is completely irrelevant to the standing of my belief it's "gaming unethical".

It's like a team in a common sport was allowed to bring more than the players the other team had.
