This but what you expect from those FUCKTARS?

The PIMP!!, or OP, why don't you settle this for everyone man.

Did you buy stacks of fire scales, shadow scales, ingots, during the week after U21 dropped?

Simple question, potentially thread ending answer, come on OP did you?

Laundering duped goods is the last thing I expect to happen when reposting items on the ASAH.

I expect if Turbine kept a record of ANYTHING AT ALL it would be ASAH SALES as these involve real world currency converted to Turbine currency most directly out of anything in the game.

As such I always assumed, and still do assume, that Turbine has records that can be accessed by employees who are more competent then the ones who log onto an account and check stack sizes of unbound items.

I see no difference in buying a good from the ASAH and reposting, using it, trading it through channels, or giving it to someone else as far as the whole nonsensical argument about OMG you might have bought a duped good goes...

It's all the same except that the ASAH one has the most chance of being trackable by Turbine back to original source.

As to the mental midget spamming the thread I am pretty sure I had answered their moronic question already.  Of course I bought items during the first week of U21.  I buy and sell new items from every mod first week it is out because that is when you can make the profit from a voilatile market generally speaking.  I didn't do so well with my purchases then actually as market went WAY down from initial spike.  Made good shards from halls items (no meotoric augments sadly as I never pulled them ) which kept me in the black during that overall period.  Did better with more stable prices later and a second spike in prices which occurred on thunder forged (they went to a stable 100 shards per 100 stack for a while and I generally had bought at that time for something around 550 per 1000). 

Had plenty of shards going into the update also.

I'm not one to jump on the beat-down wagon but Wow, you are stupid.  Not all who dupe sell their stash.  Fact is a lot of them (who I've never met or spoken to and would never associate with) carefully avoid any selling as they know it could get them noticed.  They dupe to avoid the "dick-in-pencil-sharpener" grind the game has become, that's all.  Close the shard exchange and they would still dupe.

I agree.  especially the part about Ihaveadream being stupid.

that's because there are only VERY few on Sarlona right now and none of the dupers could get them into their hands. 

I can definitely say without a doubt Cyr NEVER exploited EVER. This is fucked Cyr. Sorry to hear dude.

Turdbrain does what it does  . If you have money it will get Funky with YA. IF tou don't well Trash for you Sucker.

Lol, I bought my meteoric stary ruby for 2m pp.

Frankly speaking, it's a price where I could not tell, but I'd expect it to be legit unless there is at least another one posted for the same price with the same expiring time.

And you will most definitely not get banned for buying one or two meteoric ruby for 300 shards each. If you bought 100 for 2000 shards? I don't know. Chances are high to be gone for a while. It's all about relations: Have 20 globes/draconic gems, 200 large shroud mats, scales of each kind.. you will not get banned.. Have 2000+ of each, then it's bye bye for a while. At least, that's my experience from seeing who gets banned and who doesn't.

I guess it's mostly about the quantity/price relation... 1 for 1 is not bannable, 10000 for 1 certainly is. That's why you are safe to buy a +3 Str EE Black Dragon helm for 40 shards, you made an awesome deal; but the helm doesn't go into a bag.. I don't think there's a set rule that you can follow (unless someone wants to test it out) like buy 1999 for 200 shards and you are safe, buy 2000 for 200 shards and you are banned.

"Don't buy large stacks above 500+" for a low amount of shards where you think "Oh, CRAZY CHEAP. MUST RESELL" is what I would set as a rule for myself. Like we have 5 stacks of 100 ingots for 75 shards buy out.. Quite definitely duped, but pretty safe to buy if you are too lazy to farm the raids.

p.s. there were lots of globes for 30 shards each on the shard exchange for a long while, which people always bought. None of them got banned just because they were "too cheap". It was just the quantity of one per sale which was fine.
