    There are no GMs that stroll around in game. The only way to ever get a GM in game is to Live Chat about an immediate issue and even then it's hard. I'd suggest opening your own scam shop to compete, personally.

    You mean those shops buying for 1 coin each? How about you just take the time to look before selling :)

    Alot of people have 1 coin buying because they solo and just drop off to their alt.

    As long as they aren't advertising falsely, it's not a scam. Just look before you merchant and if someone's price is too low move on. Plenty of factions buy for 1 coin as quick and easy way for members to donate without having to constantly log back on/off stop whatever they are doing. Some people do it to give to their banks alts for later resale. Sometimes factions even hold events, such as when we had as scavenger hunt in my fac and the leader had people setup shop selling low level items for 10 million coins each, for example a pig iron for 10 million coins. No one is going to buy a single piece of pig iron for that much, and the title of the catshop was the coordinates of the next one. Winner got a prize of 200k. There are a lot of legitimate reasons to have those there, if the price is too low for you then it's not for you. Move on.

    Now shops that are pretending to sell one expensive item but are selling a cheap item (eg tokens of luck instead of best luck) or advertising one price but selling it for another are totally different things. Just screenshot and report those.

    Venus is right..

    if a shop's name is B>Canny520k though, and they are 52k, thats a scam..SS those..

    But if it's just B->Canny, no price, and they are 51k, you cannot do anything about it but double check before selling.
    Proud supporter of the new expansion. Sure it has it's share of bugs, like any games. But for a pure farmer/grinder, that's a whole lot of new mobs to go beat up b:chuckle

    Thanks for bringing this up. In 2 years of playing I never thought about using this method to unload stuff to an alt quickly. (DOH) I usually just price normally and use it as a way at the same time to transfer coin back to the main, but that isn't always what I want to do.

    But yeah as long as they aren't advertising falsely, it is up to players to check prices first.
