How Gil Sellers / Buyers are doing business (SE Please Track and Do Something)

[neoreturn]

Completely lost, if their transaction is through market by using over pay, I don't think SE can do any thing to prevent and detect it. Only way is investigate player who has lots of Gil. That is what sE doing right now.

Nah SE is too busy banning players with over 10M gil

[Tupsi]

Also see some other buyers for absurd prices that cannot be legitimate players.

If you were on a legacy server you'd be surprised.

It does seem obvious from this that Gillsellers are telling buyers to put up a Allagan piece for the amount of gill the Gil buyer has purchased and
gives them the retainer name so the buyer can pick it up at their leasure. Trouble is by doing this the buyers can play ignorant and say they just saw other people selling at this price, it's not their fault someone paid so much. That makes it difficult for SE to prove it even if it's pretty obviously the case.

Lol couldn't some regular joe do this? Name a retainer something similar?...

I would assume anyone trading allagan currency on the marketplace is either involved with RMT or not very smart. Either way, no real loss to the community if they get banned.
Hell, I bet half the reason they made it where you can sell it was to bait RMT, because why else would anyone be buying/selling these rather than sell to the NPC.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it would be funny to look up retainer names selling these pieces for high amounts of gold, hire a new one, put an allagan piece up for the same price on the retainer with the same name, and then see what happens.

Then I realized it might get me flagged for RMT and decided it probably isnt a good idea.

Most likely the RMT site will have you put in the name of the Retainer and the amount to sell it for depending on how much gil you are attempting to buy, as they can choose which retainer to buy from.

Exactly, that is probably how they do it.
