    Venomancers use the AH to (try to) sell babypets sometimes but most people use the Commisioner Shop now. Like most catshops you will find pack items. So if you search for someting just don't visit the AH, CS or shops. Instead just use a teleacoustic: "WTB ... pl link and price"
    now they buy from homstead by corncucopia and alot of scams happens there.
    Sure, people want others to buy gold and sell it in the homestead. Its a good profit: using free cold coins to buy (not free) gold. But do we have to sell? no! If anyone want items from the boutique he/she can buy it! This games has a lot of adults and there should be people with an actual job in RL. Other players should just ignore the worldchat. Please remember: PWI is a game: many quests to do and there is no reason to stay online many hours a day.

    Game is ruined for? Yes, prices can be crazy (like selling free stuff for 60kk) but we don't have to buy It's really not needed for PVE and PVP doesn't exist anymore. If people can't sell stuff at a "crazy" price eventually they need space so they make a new character and spend money for it. HS gold shouldn't be removed just because of people don't willing to buy/sell it. Also scams are on every server. Again, PWI is a game. Not something that makes us rich or makes us spend money. F2P still works for PVE.

    Speaking from personal experience, as i also bought or sold gold via Homestead/Cornucopia.
    I also got scammed when buying HS gold (luckily low amount), and i recovered everything via support/ticket as i had proof of screenshot.

    1. Be careful who you buy from. Check the player's name, guild, trustworthiness with other players. This is very important!!!
    2. Check his Homestead - It should usually be levelled.
    3. Check his Cornucopia - if other players already bought or it's empty.
    4. Depending on the level of trust:
    - test the field, buy 10 gold at once
    - if higher amount of gold, pay half the money at the beginning, half at the end.

    5. ALWAYS and ALWAYS, TAKE SCREENSHOT DURING ANY KIND OF TRADES, screenshot the trade, screenshot the cornucopia, screenshot the player's name.





    "Game is ruined and sellers are abusing it and selling at crazy prices so it is better to remove corncucopia/hs gold from homestead please"


    Allow me to dig into the past:
    >> Around 2016-2017, HS gold was also 10-12m/gold. I remember it clearly as when i tried to bargain, the reply i got was: "you can afford to pay" :/

    Towards 2022, HS gold became 7-8m/gold, due to other specific reasons. Everyone could afford it, NP cards were on the roll.

    Now, in 2023, HS gold price became 12-13m/gold again due to various reasons, one being that players charge less and less.


    Chronologically, you need to understand the itinerary and the context of Gold prices, which is a lil bit like inflation in real life.

    Unfortunately, you need to adapt to the present and become a small detective in order to get what you want.

    If you have to put in some extra effort in a game that is not much fun anymore... It's your decision!

    i agree corncucopia should be removed from HS and just increase the gold price at auction house so ppl use auction house only to buy or sell gold because it will be their only choice .
