Auction House (player ripoff) bug(?)

Well, I gave u the benefit of a doubt, and checked. You apparently no nothing about what you're talking about. The PW Boutique Agent doesn't sell tokens. If you check the AH, immaculate citrines are still selling for about 800k, sometimes less. That's how I made my money, by buying the lower priced and selling for the higher.

I don't see how you could make a million in a day farming, unless that's all you did for hours each day. I didn't want to spend hours and hours every day farming, but I spent a lot of game time looking for people selling gems at low prices, and then turning around and selling for a bit higher. And yes, it took weeks of doing that to get up to 1.5 mil in coins.

After a year and a half of playing, I no longer click delete on a message until I get the contents. It took only a couple mistakes like that to get in the habit of taking the items first. But still, I'm not an idiot. I would known if I did that and never would have submitted the ticket in the first place. Just as if I'd spent the money upgrading my skills, which can also deplete your money.

I put the items in the AH before going to bed, in the morning when I logged on, there was nothing at all in my mailbox. And, there was no sales listings in the AH either.

The issue of course is not how to make money, the issue is that the AH has a bug that steals money from players, and that PW support people do nothing about it.

If you made a million farming in one minute, but never got the money through the AH, you would still make $0.

To those who have written and said they have 0 loss at the auction house, and have made several thousand sales there, I'd like to see your tracking records. Because I'd bet that you have lost a couple. But, my guess is you haven't tracked them, and are only guessing that you've never lost them, because you didn't notice.

As far as the "token" issue. In checking the best price I could find per token was $10595 each. It would cost you 147830 coins for each Flawless you bought, you would need 5 to make an immaculate. Then, if you sold it for 790000 (I'm thinking that's what I sold mine for, but it has been 10 months), you would get a return of 750000. I'm not counting the 500 listing, but you can add it if you want.

5 Flawless @ 147830 each = 1 immaculate @ 739150

750000
- 739150
======
10850 profit

You can only sell 2-3 immaculate each day for this price. So, let's see at 3 a day that's 32550 profit. If you managed to sell 3 a day every day for 46.08 days, you'd make 1.5 mil. Or, something like 6.5 weeks.

If you actually could find a place to buy tokens consistently at 10k per (which I seriously doubt as your consistent buying would drive prices up) and got the immaculate at 700k and then sold it for 790k @ 3 per day it would take you 30 days. Or, 4.28 weeks. That was my breakpoint BTW. I never paid more than 700k for an immaculate.

So, yes to make 1.5 million took weeks.

As far as the farming, only high level items I saw were selling for 6k - at least they were listed at that, selling is a different matter. To make 1 million coins it would take 166.66 of them. Not counting the auction fees. These items were also high level, so I'm not sure I was even in the areas where I could have farmed whatever vague item you are talking about. The items I saw were metals, of which, you only get 1 per stop. I seriously doubt even with the fastest mount that you could farm 166 of these specific items in an hour, much less put them up for sale & sell them. Unless you are talking about farming in a specific instance, where I haven't been yet, then I believe your troll to be BS.

And, sorry, it's not been caused by lag or user error. I didn't click any button too many times, or delete any mail. As I have said before, I put the two gems up for sale in the AH as my last action for the night, checked the listings, and logged out. In the morning when I logged in, there was no mail - you know the envelope icon at the top right of the screen. So, I thought they didn't sell. But, I went and checked the AH, and the items were gone; ie: no longer up for sale. I logged into mail, just to see if they were not indicating on the main page, but there was no mail in the inbox.

I've been working with computers, programming and support of same, since the 1970's and do most things in a careful step-by-step manner. Even responding to the first responder here, while I was a little brash, was made that way, because I checked and his response was written and posted 6 minutes after I posted the original post. So, my response was colored a bit by being irritated that 6 minutes wasn't enough time to read and carefully digest what I was saying, as well as the person being critical in the method that I made game coin.

The gems were correctly and successfully posted in the AH.
At some time they apparently sold.
I received no email regarding sale of same, nor the money for them.
PW support, other than telling me their logs showed me getting paid have made no effort to research the issue.

And yes, I too - long ago, got good support from the PW support people. But, not for these last issues.

Really? You really sell only 2 items a day for THAT profit? In that case farming is much more of an option to get coins.. Go and kill some mobs for DQ Items.. That will get you 3k+ for an item + DQ-Points.. Even below the higher lvl it's worth it.. Economy in that game is bad any way.. If you wana resell, get sth that gets you more +. Selling shards is definitly not the best item for that.

I did several trades with AH too and also NEVER had an error and I play PW for almost 4 years now..
