Sell them in /2 to people with MRP if you REALLY want to only give them to RPers, otherwise, I don't really see the problem. People buy and sell like this to make money via AH. If nobody buys his stuff, then he'll stop posting it. If people continue to buy it, then there's not really any problem apart from them losing out on gold, which is their fault for buying a green for 2k gold.

This also means that you can sell pretty items you find on your alts and don't need for the same prices, and make a decent sum that way.

The economy changed, deal with it.

and the people that put up the stuff for less, get bought aslo by him, so nobody loses out here...

The people that lose out are the RPers that do not want to buy nice pieces for 2k? He is trying to create some kind of monopoly.

I have always viewed supply/demand as something where things actually sell for certain prices, since people are willing to pay that price. The supply side can up their prices if people are willing to pay more. But here I mostly see the same pieces of gear (growing in numbers) just sitting there for around 2k gold on the AH.

as some of you may have noticed, an individual by the name Contagion has been buying RP gear on the auction house (hordeside), and placing it back at ridiculous prices (thousands of gold for a lowbie green)
I approached the individual in a long conversation, where he claims to provide the RP community with a service by doing this.

Personally, when I place a nice RP weapon or robe or any other item on the AH hope that it finds it way to another roleplayer, so that they may enjoy it. Not to see some greedy bastard buy it, then to place it there again for 2000 gold.

Contagion however, has stated that he is doing the community a service with it, and that he never got a complaint from anyone from within the RP community.

So if it bothers you, that you can't make an RP item available for a reasonable price, send him -one- polite mail informing him that you disapprove of his method.
If it bothers you that you can't purchase any gear for a reasonable price, again, simply -one- polite mail towards Contagion.


Basically, if this is a thing that only bothers three people, he'll just get three mails.
But if he's a pest to the entire community, this is a great, yet polite way to let him know exactly how well loved his service is.

Thanks for reading,
