again...

you may want to make that a banner for a few days, half the game doesn`t even read the forum, its tedious if you have no interest to open every single thread.

Sol...get stephen to actually WRITE it in the rules so it`s plain to see and NOT a rule that is not mentioned until it`s broken./


Currently if a player doesn`t know it`s illigal and is coming from UC and does it...and gets caught and punished it`s like driving 100km/h on a freeway were the last sign said 100km/h limit then getting pulled over and fined cos the limit is 80km/h but some punks removed the street sign saying as such.


Better get that cleared up.

I don`t really care, I am not miner on RT but it surely is annoying as hell for them to post minerals all the time instead of clicking once. And IF it works(and I don`t see it as a bug even thou I don`t use it) why do you think it is bypassing the rules? I haven`t read a single rule claiming that.

It would be interesting to ask everyone who agrees that doing this is bad for the game and should be against the rules to post, and see how many people there are. Surely if the majority of the players think it should be allowed then the rule should be changed?

Don`t think it`s anything influencing the market or helping anybody anything but if you say so...

Bigger font Sol, really go for it =) lol

It is only allowed on UC because of the heavy emphasis on economy.

I repeat...

ANYONE found to be bypassing market limits WILL be suspended without warning.

selling on the market this way in UC is actually allowed, and encouraged..
matter of fact, a (G) taught me how to sell over the market cap when i played UC. this is how i learned

it would be completely understandable if a person thought it would be ok to do it on GC. there is no rule anywhere listed saying that you can not.

i`m not arguing against anything, I guess I can understand why it would be against the rules in GC.
i`m just saying it`s a rule that hardly anyone knows about, it should be listed somewhere because a lot of people think it`s ok to do. especially players that come from UC.
if you`re not gonna list it as a rule/guideline, then atleast give people off with a warning before suspending them

also lower prices is good for the server but bad for the sellers. depends what side of the fence you are, producer or consumer

it is bypassing hard coded limits.

Think of it like this.

Someone builds 100 hercs a turn for a few hours. This is cheating and avoiding the cap of 1 per turn. People will b and moan about it and you will get suspended or force restarted for abusing a bug (not this is NOT possible as far as I am aware, just a hypothetical example)

Now if someone dumps a load of minerals on the market (say 40 mill in a single lot) they have had to bypass the limit (most people know how to and NO I am not telling how to do it) and thus it is exactly the same as the herc example above.

Posting 4 lots of 9,999,999 IS NOT cheating and gets the same results without killing the martket as much.

People have been suspended and force restarted once getting caught doing this so it`s advisable NOT to try and screw with it

WhatIsTheMatrix... when you can sell or post at the max price and definately there will be buyers to buy since demand is higher than supply, so it`s kinda fishy why a seller sells at lower price while breaking the rule of posting above the limit... either this particular seller is doing somekind of charity sale OR he`s not interested to maximize his/her profit at all... kinda make you wonder what`s going on eh? lol....

someone explain how a lower price on mins is a bad thing?

ahh... correction... i just tested.... minerals still capped at 9,999,999 and ore probably at 999,999,999... perhaps that`s why i accidently sold all my ore coz what i had and always have less than that capped limit.. lol...

i haven`t sold any minerals for quite a long time but the last time i did, i think it was a capped limit at 9,999,999 coz i just pressed the number 9 key until it stopped and hit the sell button... the only item that i know without capped limit is ore coz i always accidently sold all my ore when i just pressed the darned 9 key without stopping and hit sell... lol...

well according to sol its suspendable but i never read a rule saying you cant post 40mil of a mineral

Sol
What part of bypassing a pre-set restriction on a game do you think isn`t legal?

Edited by Sol on 2008-11-14

it makes you look too l33t :O

SRB, nothing. lol

whats wrong with posing more then 10mil minerals?

i do that all the time, spam the 9`s on the market... I was unaware it posted more on minerals though, hmm... i didn`t know it adversely affected the game either hahaha.

I accidently did it once like 2 months ago, but I bought them all back when they hit market... THIS TIME it looks to be done on purpose, but when I did mine, when I went to type 9,999,999 in mineral market screen "99,999,999" popped up for some reason under my cursor so i clicked it and it posted 99million minerals at once ;(... hard to tell how many 9`s...lol
