Buying/selling gold on trade is BS

[rchmnwrr]

IDK...just like you see EVERYWHERE in game, all the scammers, scalpers, advertisements for boosting for gold, literally every other person trying to take advantage of others...the trade for gold for coins is bull****. No matter how good of a deal you post, literally seconds after, much better offers flood in everytime...I'm sure this is some strategy to manipulate the market but good luck to any normal player trying to farm gold for coins because just like the scalping in ah...it will be impossible for normal person to sell gold for coins...only people with endless supply from scamming, scalping and selling icc runs for 100k+ gold have monopolized the whole warmane economy and you'd be wasting your money donating if you thought you can just jump in and start selling gold for coins.

You may have been unlucky. I have sold millions of gold using the trade section and if you set a reasonable price it almost always sells before the offer expires.

It's pretty obvious the only active coin traders are ones with millions and millions of gold. Like they say...you need money to make money and these guys have the whole economy locked down. These guys will keep undercutting (or is it overcut?) your gold to a price of their liking or till you are forced to make a ridiculous offer in which they will probably then purchase themselves to resell. Anyone who says otherwise is a scammer/scalper/selling runs for ridiculous amounts of gold or they work for warmane some shape or form. Anyone who has played ah knows what I'm talking about...it's impossible. Well guess what...warmane trade is even worse since coins are most valuable

You don't need money to make money. You need professions to make money.

Playing the AH is very much possible as long as you don't limit yourself to a single thing. Diversify; there is always something that sells.

you need money if you're trying to play ah to make money...anything of worth making money in AH is already monopolized. anyways...point is...i posted my gold offer yesterday...it wasn't the best best offer but it was 3rd best option. since then there has been 11 offers that are better with the top one overcutting by 100 gold. this is clearly some kind of intentional manipulation IMO and there is no way a normal person can compete with that.

so, you put in gold for a worse price than 2 other people, then other people do the logical thing of putting their gold in cheaper than the other offers, and you see some kind of conspiracy in this?

[rchmnwrr]

conspiracy? manipulation of markets happen in real life too...it's big bank vs little bank

[rchmnwrr]

how about this for some conspiracy theory? somehow my gold still sold even though there was 11 better offers yesterday with 8 additional offers that are better today for total of 19 better offers than mine but my gold still sold...hm...wtf? can't complain i guess...

My gold doesn't sell -> market manipulation
My gold sells -> market manipulation

[rchmnwrr]

My gold isn't selling due to manipulation...gold still sold even with 19 better offers on the table = conspiracy
