The bots auto get the items, The Guys that hit you with the unids are working the items, I have spoken to a few who say "my boss will kill me if I sell to low". The gold made is then sold on websites for real cash. 1 million gold makes about 150 dollors £75 100 euros. Its a buisness for the far east countries who pay a guy 1 dollor an hour to stay online selling the items |
100% true, the currency difference in china and the US are completely different, 1USD = 8 chinese dollars, if u ever lived in china before you will know that making a couple usd an hour can make a living.
so yes, i dont hold any grudge against them, and neither should you. the only thing they do is make things cheaper for you to buy, theres many of them that trade u like 8 godly unids and they ask you for prices such as 30-50k. and some of these unids i seen go for high amounts on the actual gw market. their usually separate from where we play, most of them could be found in international districts so it really wouldn't matter, but theres always a couple that hang around with the americans.

I went there a few times looking for items, but I got bombarded with people opening up the trade menu, showing a few unID items, and whispering me "buy?".

bah I was there but nobody traded with me.

Are you telling me prices are 300-500% higher in the Korean realm?
Wow.
Nice proof that having hundreds of farmers around causes inflation.
"The good green items"... LOL! Nice one. You wouldn't happen be one of these farmers, would you?
entropy
Their prices are not high. Actually many I've met sell for cheaper since they are bots with a person behind them that just farm all day. They need to get rid of their loot fast so they can farm some more. The faster they can sell it for a decent price the faster they farm again.

Entropy: I thought you said noone traded with you? In 30 minutes you met "many" and they sold stuff to you cheaper than other traders?

Was reffering to the majority of botters such as in ember light camp....

Oh, OK. Hahaha, you're gonna laugh, for a second there I though you were following me around in the forum, contradicting everything I say in four different threads just because you were pissed about me smacking you around in the update thread. Hahaha, how pathetic would you have had to be to do THAT?
Thank god I was mistaken!

That statement is as pointless as me going to UK and claiming it's stupid to pay £5 for a hamburger and coke because that's US $10. However relatively it's all the same.

You pretend that is english and tell me it's any different than in LA dist 1....
Secondly... to all those who say we increase inflation, you're wrong. We increase supply, and therefore prices WOULD go down... should anyone stop complaining about farmers long enough to see what was going on in the trade zones lately..
Not like I care.. because I can farm regardless... Sigh.
I really actually like the International dist.. they sell for good prices.. lol provided you can cross the language barriers
I don't put money back into the economy... take a look at my armor. I spend my money on gold sinks like a good little farm bot

Well I see my thread has generated a lot of interesting conversation over the weekend. Just one thing, if Augury Int. is a marketplace where Koreans sell to the world, where are the buyers? I saw only Koreans there. In fact, when I asked questions I was totally ignored. I felt like I was on Mars. Check it out yourself, its really weird.
entropy
Totally agree. The only speak in asianese . Go to LA int If you want american people I think

I took a look in Augery int 1 today - it's been going on for ages, bots galore - anet should do something about it
Willy Rockwell
There are no bargains there. I typed "wtb Ecto" and got a price of 14K. When I asked how much each for ten they said "13K OK?"

I want to learn their language.
Xethrion
Yes, they're speaking in chinese.
jin wuqi basically means gold weapons.
cai liao means ingredients, or in this case, I think it means weapon components.

After studying the population in Augury Int I do believe most of them are bots. They do not move or emote, do not form groups, they are almost all monks and when most of them speak they only say "shou wu qi". In fact, they seem to be programmed to say this over and over. I think the bots are only there long enough to get their backpacks cleared out, then they are sent back out to farm. The market for GW gold on Ebay is huge and has become quite an industry.

I saw one say 'Shaq Fu' the other day.
I got scared and logged out. Then dug out my

I think Chinese text support is still in Beta development, is it not?
Xethrion
Funnily enough, I can read their chinese text just fine. Perhaps it's because I have it installed on my comp already.

I have been here many times. I'm surprised people are just now noticing this. If you go down to where most of the monks are exiting out of prophets path, you will notice that about 1 in every 9 get stuck behind the sign at the portal. I think these are the bots. All these guys buy cheap here and then they go to Lions Arch d 1 to sell. If you stay in there for about 20 min or so and watch the guys spamming and then go to lions arch a little later you will see them. I have seen about 7 of them spam for over 24 hrs non stop. I would say they are just earning gold to sell on a web site.

Numa Pompilius - amusing that someone with so little clue on the matter of prices and trade value of items is so insisting on making it known to everyone who wanders into this thread 
.
I won't even add any comments, AncientPC and others already have said it all.

muahahahahahahaha good one, thats f*ing hilarious
oh and by the way, i have bought from korean farmers in lions arch before, they sell stuff pretty cheap actually, some people make money buying of them and reselling for more, im to impatient for it, but it really does work
relaxed
I'd like to clear up for all here that there are no Koreans trading in the district. I speak Korean and I believe that all of the people in Int. Augery1 speak Chiinese.
To Jetoc's comment above: This seems to be a closed community of Chinese traders. If you spam that you "WTB anything", you will get no response.

There was more, notably that I made a mistake in my choice of example of why paying huge sums for a perfect upgrade is stupid (although he agreed with the gist of the argument) but that's the core.
Anyone can go to Augury Rock, intl. district, and check prices for themselves. IME, however, the professional farmers there are definitely not cheaper than hobbyist farmers in the EU realm.
What Gwenhywars beef is I do not know.
EternalTempest
Ahh sweet, Now I know where to go to look for cheap upgrades
Willy Rockwell
As I wrote previously, the prices at Augury Int are higher than elsewhere, and the people there don't really seem to want to sell to outsiders. They are busy doing incomprehensible things.
I said "wtb Ecto" and got a price much higher than anywhere else. Why they are in Int I don't know. Doesn't Asia have its own servers?

I've talked to quite a few of them in Chinese and unless they have bots are intelligent enough to respond to horribly romanacized Chinese (never learned pinyin), they're not bots. The reason they're in Augury is the majority of them are gryphon farmers.
Why would they sell at 50-75% of the max price?
Because their goal is to sell quickly for the max profit available. You're right, they make their money selling gold and they get that gold by selling items to human players. They farm so much that their inventories are swelled up to the point that they would rather dump at 75% market value than try to push for 100%.
Where do I get my 75% estimate from? Perfect mods.
If you visit Ascalon1, LA1, or DF1 (all American districts) the current going price for 10/10 sunder axe haft is 50-60k. Anybody selling in the 30-40k range usually has a Chinese name with broken English.

Try this:
Wo yao mai = I want to buy
jin = gold
then put in whatever item/ price and see if they reply more.
shou is the shortened =xiao shou which means to sell
they can't use mai because it can be translated in to buy or sell depending on the tone used.
