Sorry, someone else sold me one. Thanks anyway.

This is exactly what I am talking about. stuff selling for over 2 Billion. Besides the stupid high price, how do you ensure a fair transaction. You cannot just open a trade window and give someone 2.1 billion. So, you pay them in 2-3 transactions, and on the last they give you the thing? And what if they refuse then? Or never had it? This situation, while being bad to begin with at 2 bill +, is ripe for con artists and griefers.

And you want to impose a 250 million cap on the market. Imagine how much more difficult things would be if you actually got your way.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

In honor of Blue_Centurion's tireless promotion of a true black market I'm putting another Gladiator's Armor Def recipe up for sale, L50, can transfer to a L1 alt on any (US) server for trading. Price is 2.2 billion, send a PM if interested. At least some of the proceeds will be put towards a prestige burn.

Works best with those who have forum names since their reputations are probably more important than cheating.

This has already been explained. It is possible, and simple, and easy to grasp. Can someone please explain this? No time here (leaving work).

It's been well explained in a more appropriate thread.

rylas, what I am saying is this: The Devs should SELL the recipe for 500 mil. Not chump change, but solves the problem

Take it to the other thread--the appropriate one.
