I'm sorry to tell you that I do not understand what you want.

You talk of "auction watch" which suggest Guild Wars Guru Auction, "high end" which suggests Ventari's Sell, and again "auctions". You talk of joke auctions, yet you provide no link whatsoever which makes it impossible to consider the seriousness of a seller or review the bot bids you claim.

In a nutshell, please make a bigger effort to ask questions in a way that they can be understood. Thank you.

Thanks for pointing out that auction. I have reviewed the users in question and taken the appropriate action.

Sorry for sort of hijacking this thread but I have a question about the sell forums. I know that there's been a rash of people making multiple accounts to artificially inflate their own prices with false bids but how is that any different than a seller taking offers ingame as well? He could be making it up to inflate the price as well.

My thought is that the seller should either sell in game or in the forum but not both for the same item. It's a much easier way to inflate your own prices that way.

very true about the dummy accounts it does make it unfair and annoying to go to bid on a item and get outbid by 300k. now currently listed in highend bids again(see a pattern yet) is a guy trying to auction off his buying power.for 13 million gold! and someone has just posted this also.http://www.guildwarsguru.com/auction...php/id=299382/
now im quite sure since this is illegal in-game that its probably not allowed here also.

Dummy accounts on the forums and auction tend to get weeded out. on forums, there is a report bad post button next to the persons post, for the auction, bring the auction in question to the "Auction Problems" stickey at the top of the site feedback thread. POST LINKS.

as for your selling the rights to your bid......i dont see how this is illegal, ingame or here, as long as the currency is ingame

OOOOoooo Thanks for the link to the correct thread.Off i go to bookmark that one.

and for my previous post the first link takes you to the main page but at the time it had an item for 7 million gold(real bids) and the 2nd link took you to that auction where it was power-bidded to 1 billion gold!

[EDIT] It was fixed already.

Thanks for all your posts. I have closed this thread because I think that the questions have been answered and the current discussion is probably ready to shift into the auction problems thread.
