Well it depends. In WoW they look for signs of gold farmer activity and they'll ban an account if they think it's being used by gold farmers for selling gold, especially if they suspect the account is compromised. You won't get banned for being a market player though. Buy low, sell high, that's the essence of a market and it's silly to to restrict it. If you create a monopoly it's yours to exploit. It sounds like they banned the guy in that email just for being good at making money :\ Market trading is half the fun of an MMO! -- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:617802] in i dont pla...

FashnQueenEtna 01/01/12 4:38:00 AM #22:	There are a ton of mixed stories about getting banned for market exploitation. But besides buying/sellin gold (which is the most common) another thing some people might be hit for is AH flooding. What they'll do is flood the AH with singles of a stacked item at like 1.11 or something, and then have a couple placed at 111 or something. Another thing would be an AH bot, which is bad to begin with. I've heard of people getting hit for cornering the market somehow. The thing is in MMOs the top .001 percent or something control the entire market essentially. They might not be able to set all the prices where they want all the time, but they have enough in game funds to dominate a market they want. -- Chrono1219 <cite>FashnQueenEtna posted [p:617804] in i dont pla...

Ness26 01/01/12 3:16:00 PM #27:	For the first case: I heard it's something where in PvP if you capture an area you get a bonus item, in addition to your faction gaining some bonus while the area is yours. What happened is that someone had a level 1 alt account who'd keep capturing the territory back from him so he could keep gaining the bonus. I know nothing about SWTOR so this might not be true, but it makes the first case make a bit more sense.

What happened is that someone had a level 1 alt account who'd keep capturing the territory back from him so he could keep gaining the bonus.While this makes sense, the email... doesn't make it sound like that's what happened at all. So either way, it's pretty laughable.The banning for swearing in tells is easily the biggest offender, though. It's even worse that there are apparently sheep actually defending BioWare for that.

Although you can't really apply actual economic laws to these games because scarcity does not exist in MMOs. There is an infinite supply of gold available from nearly all simple tasks, so supply and demand really doesn't work correctly. I wouldn't particularly agree with this. Scarcity pretty unquestionably exists in many markets. There are some commodities that you could say have an infinite supply because people could just go mine more ores and create it, but... that's not any different than the fact that in real life there is more oil out there than is currently being drilled. In regards to there being an infinite supply of gold, that doesn't quite break things as you intend. It requires time and effort to earn this gold and it's on a level that the average player is not going to get all the gold he needs to buy everything that he wants. Thus, scarcity exists. There are also gold sinks that take money out of the economy. This gold creation even has a real world equivalent; governments printing money and lending it out. The only effect that this gold creation has is that it causes inflation, just like it's real world equivalent. I wouldn't say the MMO markets work EXACTLY like economic principles... but neither do real markets. -- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:617821] in i dont pla...

EDIT: And playing the market is prohibited for valid reasons. When people start to do so, it jacks up the prices for things beyond reasonable levels to the point where the entire economy is flipped on its head, and nobody can make any money how it was originally intended. That's exactly what happened to WoW, and several other MMOs that let people do that. You have literally no idea what you are talking about. The market in WoW works perfectly fine without big daddy Blizzard interfering in it.
