poor support -_- on stolen gill through the market board

[Kimikryo]

Why would a miner level 50 buy a stack of copper ore for 5k gil?

I am lazy when it comes to mining and I would rather run out and mine them myself

[Iriadysa]

I don't buy this.

You have Miner, Botanist, Armorer, Leather worker, Goldsmith and Weaver capped at 50 plus WHM and BLM and you claim to not know you can see the list of transactions at the broker. Anyone with that many crafting classes knows that these Ores, along with most of the low level materials, are sold at NPCs.

This just doesn't fit.

99 x 5,000 = 450,000
450,000 + 5% Taxes = 472,500

We're nearing 600,000 given some room for exaggeration or forgetful spending, etc.

99 x 5000 = 495,000
495,000 + 5% = 519,750

Fixed your math, not that it matter in this case.

There was a hack like this before, it's possible the exploiters found another way to do it.

When I need something I evaluate the market price vs the time it would take me to gather it myself.

Time is worth more than a few gil.

[MythToken]

But how much time did you spend evaluating how much time it would take to gather vs the market price hmmm?

[Alukah]

A few seconds? If you have mined enough you should have an idea of how long it takes to get a stack of something, so it's just a matter of checking market price and making a decision, perhaps also using the saved time to mine something that is actually worth to mine.

[DragonFlyy]

Possible that support checked your transactions and indeed did see the 5k sale. So they tell you to report it as a bug because this actually is a bug.

@Alukah

.... your sense of humor is astounding. Also its copper ore....

[Amaret]

This kind of "hack" wouldn't have only 1 victim .
