How is playing within the mechanics of the game cheating?

Kyoubai is for auctioning items/buying items. Not for flezz transfers.

Just allow flezz transfer possible and make doing this w/ auctions bannable…

I don’t see the issue in multiple players pooling money to purchase expensive items, especially to the point where it’s so horrid an action to be bannable.

I’m working on some solutions to prevent flezz transfers in the future.

I don’t want to say what will be done until I’m sure it’s the right answer, but as always any feedback is appreciated.

Until then, just don’t do it. If you do and we catch you, you will be penalized. Use the auctions as the way they were obviously intended: to sell items to other players.

Bid limits. Nobody wants, lets say a flip flop for more than a few thousand. Harder to control on the higher items though, as high bids are sometimes legit. Could help slightly.

Moderate any bids over 300% base price or something, maybe.. and have some items (like pink floyds) unmoderated? That could work. Though that still takes people to work and is thus a pain to implement.

Great idea! Make the max bid a function of the percentage of the cost of the item, i.e 500% of base value (to allow for legit bids but prevent transfer of millions of flezz)

Bad idea. All you do is cripple the sales of legitimate items, while adjusting which items are used for Flezz transfers.

A pink floyd Kyoubai price is 50,000   Versnatche Kyoubai price is 504,000  .

Any general bid limitations are easily bypbumed by using more expensive items, or more auctions, and such limitations just cripple the perfectly reasonable, but drastically inflated, sales of reasonable and rare items.

Bid restrictions on store items just means using moar files, or more sales of store items (at no risk, since you’re always selling it for more than what you paid).

The half of point of an auction site is to get people to pay you way more than something is worth. Not letting people pay way more than something is worth takes out most of the appeal, and there are plenty of common items that cost more than the rare items people will overpay for.

Perhaps the system should not have been released prior to completion and without proper testing
