There was a player that had a shop open selling and buying the same item. The sell price was 100k and the buy price was 500k. So it would apear that the other player would benifit from that. But when you try to buy from her it comes up saying "service univalible" but you can buy from her just fine, to me that is obiously hacking of some sort. So I clicked the Report Hacking button. Now i cannot log on to the game!!

    there's plenty of hacks for PWI, just not spread like other games are yet.

    Beware of the forests you wander in... there are creatures you might not be prepared for.

    Don't fall for tricks like that in player shops. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    I would personally love to know how this is possible.. what part of the game are they exploiting? I remember buying 1mil worth of yuan stones to sell one for 1 mil (what they had set) and it wouldn't do it. I knew they had the coin to cover it, I had JUST given it to them.. (this has been a while, the stones came in handy anyway)

    Like the GMs said, it's all about buyers beware, so I don't think they can do with anything like this.

    it's not alleged, it's confirmed and truely DOES exist, and I'm sure there's an explination that does not tell HOW to do it.

    This has come up before, so I'm just gonna give the quick version here:
    1. Don't fall for it. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is (and I'd say buying an item and then immediately selling it back for a higher price qualifies).
    2. If you see someone doing this, report it to a GM via the ticketing system.
    3. Yes, we know that it works, and why it works, and we're working on fixing it.
