In Game Market Board Help!!!

[alienmatrix]

Hi, can sum1 please clarify something for me. iv noticed that a person is using an alternate ff14 account to put items onto the market board for 1gil then switches to his main account and buys the item for 1gil. he does it every week. is it allowed by the ff14 terms or is it a violation coz its classed as market manipulation or something? this mite b a stupid question 2 ask but i would just like 2 know just so i know wots allowed. thank you in advanced for any replies

Is this bait?

Of course buying items for 1g is allowed.
How is listing items for 1g market manipulation?

i wasnt saying it woz mate. i woz genuinely asking coz i wasnt sure. in some games like black desert as an example it would b classed as market manipulation coz ur forcing the market prices to how u want them and its a ban able offence. its all good. thanks for replying

Oh lord. Can we at least write in plain English and basic grammar.

Was.
Cause.

I'm still curious how this would be market manipulation, can you explain your line of thinking? I don't honestly care how other games deem 1g as market manipulation.

Maybe they are trying to move the item to their main and it's easier to do it via MB?

This is likely. Unless you have an alt or a friend to help, trading to yourself via mannequins is common.
