Troubling Thought

hey guys i have one of those questions i hate to ask. recently i bought some zkeys in GTB. its the only thing i splurge on and i buy around 300k a weeks worth. on this night i bought 75keys from a guy well call "paul", now lets do the math (75keys*5k balth faction = 375k faction)<< thats doable i guess. ya farm hard turn it in for keys? ok ok. he says i can farm some keys up for ya if ya want. this is the same night. in ONE hours time he has an additional 71 keys. (355k faction) now were pushin 1mil faction tonight. same guy pm's me 3 days later says he has 178keys. now assuming hes farming for me alone... and i doubt that, im not that special just ask my wife. now were lookin at an additional (890k faction). so here i am . wondering am i buyin from a bot farmer? a guy with an enormous guild sellin for the boys?? some guy with some super duper way of farmin 1.5mil faction a week?? i guess what im wondering is 2 things. 1. am i adding to the problem of POS cheaters by buyin keys from someone like this? and 2. am i in fact risking my own account by buyin from someone like this? as i said b4 i dont like to go sinister for no reason but ive played this game for years and some thing smells really really poopy in great temple these days.

ps. btw if its possible to farm that much faction someone let me know and ill pay massive gold for the tricks to this.

Maybe he buys some at a lower price just to sell to you?

Yeah, it's possible he's a power trader.

He's buying and reselling the keys, it's impossible to farm 300k faction or anywhere close to that in one hour.

maybe but im buyin at discount from him. lol. i buy for between 2.5 and 2.7k each

I was going to post that.

Ya, its possible that he is just spending time buying keys at a low price then selling them to all the people he has found that will buy them at a higher price.

Or it is possible he is farming the faction, and I am with you on that one if someone knows how to farm that kind of faction let me know

Trust me, it's not. That number is NOWHERE near realistic.

I'd say you can get around 15-20k faction per hour in HA if you're roflstomping teams left and right in under 1 minute + getting keys out of the HoH chest.

Kratimas he got 71 keys in under an hour so how can he spend the time to buy the keys?

I don't really know what's going on and I'd ask him if you're that worried Abala.

well its interesting you mention asking him. i did actually ask him and he said tade secrets. i already told him im not buyin from him anymore. paranoid?? maybe. careful?? absolutely. when someone says im all out of keys and one hour later he has 71 more??? lol that a stumble backwards moment for me. i told the guy "whoaaaa where you get that many keys that fast. thats when he dropped the "trade secret" Nugget of wisdom on me.

(I'm just going to make these numbers up.)

Well lets see, he switches to International district.

This Person -- Spams WTB ZKeys 2.1k
Seller -- I have 15
This Person -- K
Another seller -- I have 20 I will sell you.
This Person -- K
Yet another seller -- I XX I will sell you.
This Person -- K

So On and So On:

And BAM is an hour or less he has yet another 71 keys he would like to sell you for 3k or 2.7 or whatever.

He tells you Whooo just spent an hour of farming faction I have another 71 keys would you like to buy somemore?

Even if you say no then:
Spams WTS: ZKeys 2.7k each.

Easy Profit.

Yeah but I don't think there are that many people selling that many keys at one time for that kind of price in any district.

exactly Gare, some nights ya cant get keys. there not that easy to farm in bulk. but, there always a few guys that will have literally a never ending supply. you can nail them down by the way they operate. example: if you buy 75 at a crack as i do, they know you have a good supply of gold. so they sell those 75 and it always seems like thats all they have. theyll say well i only got 68 right now. so i buy them. i say thanks have fun yada yada. and they always say ill farm some more up, or "i might have some more on another char" like we all keep 200k in zkeys on all our chars lmao. "oops whats this 245 ecto?? when did i put those in here??" COME ON!!!! lol anyways this is something i am goin to watch and watch closely. OH OH OH heres the coup de grais... one guy was sellin 675 keys one night.. and baby he had them he showed me. lmao!!! ooof da


Cronk

Buying 71 keys in under an hour = very possible
Farming 355k faction in under an hour = bot or not, impossible

He said him himself, trading secret. That's the only realistic situation. I highly doubt he's a bot. If you believe he is, report him. Other then that, there's nothing you can do about it. Buy from him or not, you won't get banned if he's a bot and he'll still sell keys.

This discussion is going to go in circles, so I'm going to close the thread.
