From what I've heard those are just retainers that had things selling when the characters who own them server transfer without taking things off the MB

I saw this before server transfer was available. And usually saw a lot of them right after SE pulled out the ban hammer. So I assumed it was players that were banned. Not sure though.

11-09-2013, 04:12 AMDrakzen1I thought this might be the issue as well. But when the prices of retainers changed and or go away completely then return I have to wonder. For the next few days i will document more and i would like to ask on your severs to try to do the same if you see it.Quote:

Ok but what happens when you buy from them? I mean the OP is giving us a warning, but I see no reason to heed said warning when its just a blank statement that has neither reason or consequence. Please use full and complete sentences and paragraphs. Thank you.

OK I get that part, but whats the warning for? I mean a error message just seems like a weird thing to post a warning thread about. What are the dire consequences of trying to buy from them, I mean trying to buy from them?

Odds are you buy item, don't get item, still lose gil.

11-09-2013, 04:29 AMDrakzen1It's fine if you don't heed the warning. I'm not obligated to tell anyone anything, just trying to warn people to be careful when purchasing from the market board in light of recent events. As far as what happens, that has yet to be determined. There are obvious database issues going on internally with SE right now. I won't go into details as what those are because yoshi has requested we not do that. But would you rather risk your account safety on the chance that nothing will happen??Quote:

11-09-2013, 04:33 AMDrakzen1When you try to buy an item no matter if you are successful or not data is still being sent from your side to theirs. That data in an unsecure database structure is very powerful indeed. Sorry for being vague but I think you can gather the possibilities.Quote:

I dont mind the warning, you just were very vague about why it was a warning. If there is no way to buy from someone isn't the point moot? Right now you are just basing this "warning" off of speculation and rumor. Boards are full of that stuff.
