50 active auctions on AH limit are you kidding me?

It's very rare for me to not sell 90% of what I post, because I always post things at very competitive prices.


I'm sure the GTN will be improved as time goes on (IMHO, it isn't very well implemented at the moment, not up to the level of the rest of the game AT ALL), but if people cluttering the AH like that is an issue, why not just limit the number of times a person can post a specific item in a specific stack size? IE: Only allow someone to post up a specific crystal in stacks of one 10 times.

The assumption I made was that you could read and just didn't want to, I guess I should just assume you can't.

What is this "AH" you speak of?

Do you mean "GTN" - Galactic Trade Network?

Excuse the vernacular. I would change the title of the thread but I don't think I can.

The idea is to prevent ppl from buying huge stack with low price per unit and ressel em single high price per unit.

Now stop QQing and deal with it.

I agree, screw these idiots who want to flood the economy and sell their credits for real money. Anyone who complains about AH caps are manipulators.

I laugh in their face for getting owned by bioware.

Judging from all the overly negative responses to a perfectly valid and respectfully written OP question, I would surmise that the 17 and younger crowd has finally been given access to the game.

Aside from that, I think 50 is somewhat limited considering some people have toons dedicated to crafting for making a profit and will mail all the mats from their main toons to their crafting toon and put up all the auctions at once. This is a very common practice on ALL MMOs, there's absolutely no question about that. It wouldn't have hurt even in the slightest to increase it to at least 100 or a bit more.

Furthermore, I think there have been plenty of complaints from a lot of people about the AH in general which could lead to them doing a complete overhaul of it in the near future. Although I'm not usually one to join the "it's still beta/early" crowd, in this case I think it's fair to assume that they're not quite finished with it.

That's not how it works. People who sell gold (i.e. WoW) get most of that from hacked accounts. They aren't sitting there owning the AH. Players do that. When players are capped on the AH it hurts everyone, because it raises prices and makes it harder to get the stuff you want quickly.

Aside from being on topic, I find that people who pull the age card in order to patronize others on the internet suffer from some form of inferiority complex due to their own, less than street legal, age.

Long story short: Don't insult your peers. Pretending to be older by insulting young ones is not the trademark of maturity.

Yes they do. I knew a programmer that wrote a code to search for thousands of items at a low price and buy them out daily, there are also Auction house mods that make these leeches even worse. Ah manipulators are the worst kind of scum, they make it impossible to sell things for the price you want and make a fortune by being lazy bums.

Reselling thousands of items to turn a huge profit makes it WORSE for everyone, this 50 cap system prevents those people from screwing everyone. This programmer made millions of "in game gold" and sold them privately to gold farmers. If you don't think many people are capable of this you are either a troll or ignorant.
