I guess my response would be… who cares? You can always farm the materials yourself, and unless this guy has figured out a way to convert Blizzard balance into real money, all he’s getting out of it is constantly hitting the gold cap.

Because this error in the api code can be abused by actual bots. Ignoring it is dangerous for the already ruined economy.
function Auctionator.Search.GetEmptyResult(searchTerm, index)
– Remove “” from exact searches so it sorts properly
local cleanSearchParameter = searchTerm:gsub(“"”, “”)
return {
itemKey = {
itemID = 1217, – Valid item ID, “Unknown Reward”, but unobtainable
itemLevel = index, – Differentiate between different empty results
itemSuffix = 0,
battlePetSpeciesID = 0
},
itemName = Auctionator.Search.PrettifySearchString(searchTerm),
iconTexture = 0,
name = cleanSearchParameter,
totalQuantity = 0,
minPrice = 0,
containsOwnerItem = false,
}
end
This right here is what’s being abused and automated.
I mean, they’re not wrong from what I’ve seen. You couldn’t give rational reasons why you dislike that server or why people have ‘legitimate’ reasons to dislike it.
Further, you admitted to consistently making threads as ‘bait threads’ to troll, so I know who to believe here.
You admit to declining them from your groups.
and the only thing you cited was ‘language barriers’. That is wanting to not have someone in your group because they don’t speak the same language as you.

If you accept they are not cheating, yet you are here on the forums making a post that suggests that “one person” is gaming the auction house using nefarious methods, you are here either to congratulate them or admonish them.
Either way, it is beyond the control of those of us on the forums to resolve this for you, and as such contacting Bliz directly is your only option to address your issue; couching this as a “game health” issue is just a smoke bomb.
The undermine journal, that you happen to pay for the data, runs on a one-hour update timer as updating every second would kill the efficiency, this one-hour update seems to be pulled directly in-game as the addon is actually updated twice a week, on Tuesday and Saturday mornings.
Your whole post screams sour grapes as you are complaining that someone else is cornering the market instead of yourself.
So your choices are to either;
- congratulate this “one person”
- complain to bliz
- post on the forums where nothing can be done to address your issue.
You have chosen number 3; not the wisest choice imo.
Technically, manipulating the market is against the rules but further…
GD is in fact, for feedback and that also goes for feedback to Blizzard so trying to tell them to ‘contact Blizzard directly’ is again false.
GMs even tell you to post on the forums to try to encourage Devs to make changes to policies or anything else.
Nice mental gymnastics. “Many of us” != “me”. Feel free to show me where I supposedly admitted to making Ragnaros threads to troll people.
But you’re just trying to stir the pot anyways. No need to waste your finger energy typing out more drivel.

“Many of us” Does indeed, include yourself in that. If not, you would’ve said “Many players.”
In order to try to evade it in the first place.
Nice mental gymnastics. “Further, you admitted to consistently making threads as ‘bait threads’ to troll.” does not equal you making Ragnaros threads to troll people. :3
Take your own advice, but you won’t.
But then you’d still say I included myself because I’m a player.
You’re going to need a bigger fan for the flames you’re trying to spread.
I am not aware of any rule that is breached when playing the market; if there is such a breach contacting Bliz directly is your only course of action.
The Bliz devs do not read the GD forums as proven by the newly constructed WoW Community Council forum, where they might peruse once in a while.
We’ve said “Email hacks@blizzard.com” about [i lost count] many times and they just call us trolls for suggesting it.
I personally wouldn’t, but you could’ve easily clarified in the post by stating (Not me).
You’re the one that admittedly does this frequently, not me.
It’s under “Abuse of the economy.”
False, and GMs even tell you to post on the forums to give feedback to the devs. Simple as. GMs tell you to post here, so telling others not to post here is bad.
I thought there was a line in the ToS/Eula about AH market manipulation?
So you equate “bad reputation” to a racial issue automatically? That says a lot more about you than anything. You purposely choose race or nationality to make accusations, instead of selecting the “Ragnaros is full of bad players” reasoning that many, many people have with that realm - and it’s completely devoid of racial, ethnic, national, language, etc.
You don’t see Azralon, Quelthelas, Drakkari, etc. being harped on anywhere near as much as Ragnaros, yet you default to “race” or “language” as being the reason for having a bad reputation. That’s on you.
I love you.
Since the only reason you gave was because of the language barrier, to me it seems that way in your case. Most often it is specifically just that, declining them because of the ‘language barrier’ without knowing if the person applying can or cannot speak ‘your’ language.
Usually it’s not, usually people try to give said excuses after it gets pointed out they haven’t made any legitimate reasons.
I personally have, especially with M+ applications and the addons to refute people based on server. Though, frequently RP servers were also added to those lists.

Show me in the language barrier thread where I mentioned Rag’s bad reputation at all. I’ll wait.
“Many don’t want to deal with language issues” != racist bad reputation. That’s like me saying I don’t want to go to a foreign country because I don’t know their language, and calling me a “racist” as a result. Has nothing to do with reputation and all about being able to communicate.
If your mindset is to default to “racist” then I don’t know what to tell you other than to seek help.
I have not been able to find a section within the ELUA that deals with abuse of the economy; could you please provide me a link to the section you are referring to, it would be of great help to me.
I agree GM’s do tell us to post here, yet only community managers lurk these forums, not the legal teams or the Devs themselves.
GM’s direct us here when they cannot provide reasons, lack the knowledge to resolve our issues directly, an example of this is when they tell us to post here when you unsubscribe where all feedback goes to die.
It’ll be hard to provide a link to something that doesn’t exist 
And yet…
There’s no EULA entry about it because it’s not defined by Blizzard. It’s a grey area that they can ban you for on their own discretion.
No, I think you trying to deny people into your country because they MIGHT not know your language (You don’t even check in regards to premade group finder if you’re declining anyone from that server) would be.
Nice, now you’re playing online physiatrist too, that’s ableist as the cherry on top I guess.
