ANet's assitance needed - TP theme guild!

Hello everyone,
I would like to know what can be assumed as an exploit, exploiting the Trading Post so I can be aware and not fall for an exploit I didn’t know of.
I would like to open a RP guild which focus on playing the market to earn gold for the guild, lower prices in the trading post for others benefit and sharing the gold with other RP guilds via RP (Example pay 10 gold a character to hire mercenaries).

The issue itself alarms me that it might be an exploit, using the trading post, inflation deflation it. Although these things happen by resellers and other traders.

I had a guild with the same purpose in WoW and it was ok by Blizzard, I would like to know if it’s ok by Anet too.

It’s merely playing the trading post, as a feature in a game I assume it’s playable.
Also it’s a nice added complimentary aspect for role-players as they earn “free gold” for doing what they always do and now able to afford gear as well.

Thanks for the help!

I don’t want to get perma banned for not knowing (I have searched for any topic explaining bans and reasons, only found on the names and chat issues, oh and snowflakes)

The trading post is part of Tyria, I know of no current way to earn a ban interacting with it.

So we can take that as an ok for all the trading tools as well? ex) things like zicore’s trading notifier

That’s not a valid deduction, as John’s statement is clearly about interacting within the game as a playable character, rather than interacting with the TP at all.

Olba is correct, I am referring to interacting with the TP inside the game, I don’t have any official statement to make on outside the game applications.

I’ve never heard of this happening, if you give me the names of your friends I’ll look into it.
