Food bug

if i ever hear from him ill be sure to send him your way o.O`

Believe there is an advanage in one post. crab if i could of sold my 3 billlion Minerials in one post at once i dont think i would have an issue with the rebuying & selling of my minerials rather then 300 post each which is rather very annoying post that much or even 1000 post. or 3000 post. i rather have one post as well but i dont bypass the limits no matter how much i have.

Maraudian please tell me when you get a chance to pass stephen my E-mail to contact me. I would be wonderful to hear from the guy & talk to him seriously

Lord - Believe me, I`m not arguing against punishing these people. I firmly believe the rules should be enforced. Like you said it should be the same for everyone. I was simply stating my opinion about the rule/setting itself.

and i will happily blacklist people bypassing limits without even thinking about it for 5 seconds , stephen wouldnt even think on it for 1 second , and i will force stephen to take the case if it continues

if i atacked you from 10 billion power while your at 1k power rating and a base world what trouble does it cause , bypassing limits is illigal for a reason , market limits are also for a reason

It is not the same Bladactania. When you post 4 times, there is a bit of time before each appear on the market. If I were to post within a minute of you and we were both posting a billion food at equal price, then each of ours would have a chance to sell on the market. If we were posting food at equal price at the same time, and you posted 4 billion and I posted 1 billion, then I`d have to wait til you sold all of yours out.

It doesn`t really matter though, everybody needs to play by the same rules. People who bypass this are blatantly breaking the rules and should be punished.

No it doesn`t. One big post of 4 billion food is just the same as 4 posts of 1 billion food. In fact, four seperate postings would be WORSE for keeping others from selling or controlling the price, because you could spread them out a little in time so your posts are ALWAYS on the market.

what advantage does it give the person "abusing" this bug? none, why is this such a big deal? its just in 1 post instead of 5

Well, the buying and reselling is legal as far as I know, but when people start bypassing the caps for posting, that`s not allowed and just pisses off the admin and some mods, plus, what advantage is there to posting that much at once? None.

yes aba is ALMOST correct , even i forget things like that and make mistakes you know , either way the person is bypassing the market post limit and will be punished

methods used to do it dont really matter

Kevin, EvilAba is right, unless you want to reword what your saying.
Be more careful with how you say stuff, cause people will read it how it is instead of how you meant it to be. or interpert it the wrong way.

& this person who are posting huge post like this are majorly cheating, a post that big means someone is buying & reselling plus using bigger then allowed post to do so.

Yep that sounds to be true Aba

But they should get in pretty deep crab anyways, there is no way they can give a good explanation of why they purposely bypassed the max cap, lol. Thats just silly. Burn em!!!

ok let me ammend my second line...

anything sitting at max cap can NOT get hgher than maximum allowed AS It will reset to max after a single turn is used, thus it is impossible for them to be botting it as it would drop to 2 bill the INSTANT they use a single turn or log out/log in/server refreshes or after a cirtain amount of time were the server refreshes market stocks (every 5 minutes on average).

Kevin you are VERY wrong.

anything sitting at max cap can NOT get hgher than maximum allowed. It will reset to max after a single turn is used, thus it is impossible for them to be botting it as it would drop to 2 bill the INSTANT they use a single turn or log out/log in/server refreshes or after a cirtain amount of time were the server refreshes market stocks (every 5 minutes on average).

the posting over max is possible, never saying how cos it is illigal and I hate people doing it as much as Kevin does.

There IS a way of getting more than max on anything. Just keep buying all you want as long as you have money to do it. DONT use turns before ou post it back on the market (hopefully at a higher price at legal max posting limit of course) before server refreshes the market goods (not server refresh but market refresh) or using any turns.

You can have up to as much is on the market total and however much your wallet can afford.

Just pointing out all the other ways of getting more than normal `maximum` limits

this person is obviously botting then selling when he comes online, they will be blacklisted when found unless they have a dang good excuse , ill probably end up looking sometime soon

if they buy up the market it takes time for the food count to refresh properly, so they can have more than 2 bil food temporarily as long as they post before it refreshes.

isnt 2 bill food the max u can have? how can anyone sell that much?
