While it is distinctly possible that the 2 accounts are just friends or guildmates, it's clear that the second account posted from the same spot this morning. Here is an excerpt from the Ventari's Guidelines that is linked at the top of every page in Ventari's Corner:

Artificial Accounts/Shill Bidding (Auction system or Ventari's Corner): Shill Bidding is bidding that artificially increases an item’s price or apparent desirability, bumps a thread improperly, or bidding by individuals with a level of access to the seller’s item information not available to the general Community. Any user with multiple accounts who intentionally inflates prices with phony bids or bumps to provoke a bidding war among other participants WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. Because family members, roommates, guildmates, and employees of sellers have a level of access to item information which is not available to the general Guildwarsguru.com Community, they ARE NOT permitted to bid on items offered by the seller – even if their sole intent is to purchase the item. If it is discovered/reported that an associate of a member is assisting in shill bidding, ALL USERS THAT ARE PARTICIPATING WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED. Family members, roommates, guildmates, or employees may purchase items from a seller without violating this policy simply by purchasing the item directly and not through this Web Site portal. |
