Changes to Market Hall and affable brokers.

Post by Elysia » Sat Nov 30, 2019 4:18 pm

Over the past few months, we've been seeing repeated shenanigans with bother the equipment/ trinket/ weapons brokers, as well as the fireworks/ potions brokers.

These shenanigans include passing the same few items back and forth to 'pay for' a rare that is traded, and somehow 'mysteriously' it always being the same individuals who buy from certain sellers. These individuals and these sellers have a relationship in the game, either in another clan, spending a lot of time together, or otherwise. This reeks of friends sponsoring friends to earn qps/ master. Obviously, neither of these are intended, just like a friend dying to you a few times on their crossrace alt is not intended, nor acceptable. The Market Hall was intended as an open market, where people can do business regardless of timezone.

Because of this, there will now be a variable delay between an item being offered for sale at the aide/ affable broker and the time it will be put up for sale.

Every single transaction at the Market Hall or potion/fireworks brokers is recorded and saved. Sooner or later, anyone trying to gain an illegal advantage will be caught and dealt with. We will continue to monitor the situation and if there is continued abuse and/or gaming the system, we are considering also punishing the buyers who are part of the problem, e.g. the sponsor types. Please use your heads and don't let it come that far.

These have been updates so if you

SAY BEG AIDE, the aide will randomly drop all items carried.
SAY BEG BROKER, the broker will randomly drop all money carried. The brokers without an aide will also drop items carried at a random moment.

Update:

A reminder: you can say "next sale" to see when the last item was deposited before making a purchase. This works for an estimate of the backlog and also can be used before checking an item.

Say help in the room to find out the updated costs and you will see this:


An affable broker tells you 'Currently, I broker deals between merchants and any customer seeking the products of their
trade.'

An affable broker tells you 'For a glass of apple cider, give me a shimmering pendant of obsidian or a shimmering chain
of gold and say "buy apple cider".'
