Does this constitute cheating or is it against the TOS?

Love the responses from you guys. Still waiting on GM response. Usually I receive one by now. Maybe they're actually investigating. I was selling some LTW items. I think going after these people will solve nothing, but reporting them hopefully will.

It's almost like they are an Online mafia. except they can't silently kill you and make sure your body will never be found.

I would hate to see this spread to my server too.

I'd actually like to see it spread to Leviathan. 30mil+ and looking for something to do with it. ****ing with a monopoly and "union" of this nature would be absolutely dreamy.

I think it's really not a big deal.

Why?

It has no teeth.

If they post 500 of something on the Market at 999Gil, and I post 50 at 799Gil what are they going to do exactly?

- They can't remove my market listing. (SE isn't going to do squat about it)
- They can't directly harass me into removing the listing. (Blacklisting works)
- They can't indirectly shame me into removing the listing. ("Hey, someone in your FC is listing things below our prices!", "That's nice, tell me why I should care?")
- They can have their LS members not buy my things, but with how many players are on the server should I really care? I don't think so.

It feels like a tempest in a teacup.

Someone is trying to organize and be a petty dictator. But in truth the emperor has no clothes on.

I list things on my server for what I find to be fair. Wolfram ingots selling for 80k a pop? Let me put up 15 at once for 50k a pop and see the market deflate like it should. They are around 30k due to my listings and I'm damn proud of that.

Forget these cartel people, I'm gonna find their markets and ruin them.

Free market is free. They (the ls) can organize to put in items at the price they want.
And at same time, you too can put your items at the price you want. 1 Gil is legit as 1,000,000.

Asking other players to not do things, and threating of consequences, is called harassment and is well handled in TOS and by GMs, just report to them if this happens.
