Combat Auction House Scammer

[Fasc-atiesh]

Scams are defined as dishonest schemes.

You can’t be dishonest if everything is known and clearly identified. Blizzard has also confirmed these are not scams in explicit terms.

As mentioned before, the Auction House is considered a free market where players may price their wares how they like. This includes putting up items for a low bid but a very high buyout.

It also allows players to remove an auction from the AH if they wish (that is what the deposit fee is for). That is not considered a violation and most especially not Zone/Area Disruption. Sorry. Our Support staff generally will not comment on the validity of a report, only that it will be reviewed and appropriate actions taken based on our policies.

That isn’t to say that policy and functionality cannot change. If you are looking to see a change to how the Auction House functions, can be organized, etc… you’ll want to submit feedback to that effect.

That doesn’t make it not dishonest, that makes it not fraud.

You can’t be dishonest while being entirely honest. They pretty much are mutually exclusive.

@Hekket-mankrik

No, the intent is to lure somebody into buying a massively overpriced item through inattention due to the way they are listed in the auction house.

Enticing buyers is not fraud nor dishonest.
