Do you think Bazaar/ah manipulation is ILLEGAL? (2024)

OLDDERPYBETTER said:

what do you think about them?
i think YES.

.........
btw i personally wants built-in anti-manipulation system in the server like "can't set the price higher than <num>x(times) as current price!"
admins plz add it, maybe after a foraging update which everyone wants?

how is it peoples fault? manipulation can and has occurred between opening the menu, so the buy price in the instabuy menu is different than what is subtracted from chat. stealing gold bars from a bank is also a good mmm but because we live in a society with morals that's illegal

i forgot about that
You provide good points

scalping is more like buying all the dyes when they release

i think of scalping as any fire sale lmao
so many get bought just for the money and then not many are just used so the price goes up

My immediate thought? Yes.

After thinking for a few seconds? No, because it's simply the in-game version of an IRL monopoly on a market

monopolies are illegal lmao

Shouldn’t be allowed. Although idk how hypixel would prevent it. Everyone says “Well u should have checked the price”, in some cases the prices change when you are on the gui just before buying items, causing you to lose money even if you saw the prices because it doesn’t update.

mimey said:

because it is deception

manipulations don't show sometimes, so the price will show as like 50 coins in the instabuy menu, then you buy it 5 times and lose a bil

when you say illegal do you mean against hypixel rules or irl law? It’s probably not against either. It’s not really bad in Hypixel because it’s not a bug it’s just people being smart

against hypickle raw btw(i think there is no rule about these thing)

why would it? i could buy all of the doors there are on a market and then lost them at $5000 each. It’s up to the buyer if they wanna pay that amount for the door or not. It’s not like im using fraudulent methods to scam them out of their money. They have a conscious choice of choosing if they wanna pay the price of the item or not

Not how skyblock market manipulating works.
You're driving the price of a common item to insane prices hoping to get someone before others fix the price.
