Oh really, then you will not have trouble giving us a link or quote from some other MMO’s rules saying they ban this behavior.
No worries, I can wait…
That’s how unfettered freedom works: people get to do what they want and that yields a wide spectrum of awesome successes and abject failures. It is just a video game AH, it isn’t that serious.
Doubt.
Big doubt.
GMs in games like FFXIV and GW2 punish dishonest behavior all the time. They also reset quests for you if you made the wrong choices.

So if someone in FF14 cry’s that another player sold them something at a higher price than normal they ban you account?
Good to know as I just switched over. Glad to know that if I sell stuff I’ll have to be careful because I can be banned for an honest sale if the customer changes their mind.
Thanks for the heads up.
Upon hearing this, I want to throw fish at people.
In what way is that behavior ‘disruptive to the AH’?

It sucks but it’s on her for not paying attention to the sale and clicked ok to it.

you seem to not understand that being in a hurry, naive or stupid isnt an excuse to demand change because YOU made the mistake. Stop using personal problems as an excuse to be a victim, oh woe is you.
Take responsibility for your mistake and move on, your not entitled to compensation for your lack of awareness.

This isn’t “selling something at a higher price than normal.” You’re using how the AH interface works to trick people with a lot of gold into buying out an item you purposefully listed at an absurd price.
Stop excusing toxic behavior.
The AH interface doesn’t trick anyone. You sort by Bid, not Buyout, so if you just Buyout the first thing at the top of a Bid-sorted list, there is absolutely zero relationship between what you want and what you’re doing.
That’s not a scam.
That’s not a broken rule.
That’s not an abuse of a system.
That’s a buyer being dumb because they didn’t bother to read. The same skill used to find the best price (reading the Buyouts) and the correct item (reading the item name) can be simultaneously used to avoid spending too much gold for the wrong item. At some point you have to assume a minimum level of competency and you guys seem hellbent on denying any responsibility whatsoever for a buyer’s own actions.

but DUUUDE, what if someone truly thinks his 1 copper ore is worth 9999g. you gonna call him a LIAR?
but that is totally not intuitive and makes no sense when it comes to cheap consumables that people will only use the buyout option for.
since this makes no sense, there should be a large warning window telling people about it when they use the AH. or, even better, blizzard can freakin fix it and allow sorting by buyout. if blizzard was a good company still, this is the kind of change they would have allowed in TBCC. not boosts, mounts, and HvH BGs.
Just because people treat the AH like a vendor doesn’t make it a vendor. It is entirely intuitive when the AH tells you, word for word, in plain black and white, what every item is, what its BID price is, and what its BUYOUT price is (if it even has one), and that’s that.
You struggled with bubbling in information on standardized test answer sheets didn’t you?
It makes sense to anyone who reads for all of a tenth of a second, so no. There shouldn’t be changes because people like you can’t follow basic instructions.

There is already a second verification pop up that asks “do you really want to buy that for $xxx.xx”
How many warnings do you want??

the bottom line is there is a very simple change that will make this scam disappear overnight. it’s obviously a good idea to implement this change, and crusading against it just makes you look weird and sketchy.
so did she quit? or is the temper tantrum over?

Perhaps we need to change the name of the game to World of WARNINGcraft.

Just pay attention to what you’re doing. It sucks that they fell for that kind of thing but the ensuing temper tantrum is hilarious.
