Filling the AH with Single Iceblade Arrows

Ok, on my Hunter's server I have a guy selling thousands upon thousands of Iceblade Arrows for about 2g apiece. Stacks of 1000 Iceblade Arrows generally go for 3g to 5g a stack. So here I am trying to legitimately sell stacks of Iceblade Arrows when this guy has the Ah filled with single ones. I tried searching the Ah for my own auctions of Iceblade Arrows but gave up after thirty pages or so of this one guys auctions.

So my question is this; is this bannable in any way? The guy is obviously trying to make it seem as if he's' selling full stacks of arrows. I mean am I gonna have to put up 8000 separate auctions of single Iceblade Arrows at 6 copper under his price to actually sell mine? I'd hate to see Engineers put thousands upon thousands of auctions up of single arrows in order to make a profit.

Can I report this guy or what?

Q u o t e:
Vrakthris, I don't mean to derail this thread and I think it's great that you are helping Baelx, but why has my 5 page thread on whether or not putting up thousands of single iceblade arrow auctions is ok gone unnoticed? I don't know what else to do to get a reply from you guys.


Please do not hijack others threads, we normally don't respond to such methods of attention getting.

Remember, Jungle, that these forums are here primarily for players to discuss the game with other players. Though we try to provide responses when necessary we are neither able or required to address every single thread posted in his forum. Especially when you received an adequate response in post number 1 by Karrek.

The Auction House is a free-market and anyone may place any number of items on the Auction House for any price they wish. If you wish to see a limit placed on the sales you are welcome to post in the Suggestion forum.

Thanks for the reply. As for receiving adequate responses, you can see in the 5 pages in this thread different people gave different responses. Some said that it was ok while others said it's bannable. How am I supposed to know what's an adequate response or not? When the possible consequences of my actions are bannable I'd rather come here and hear it straight from the source instead of needlessly risk my account.


Well. Karrek did also link a post I wrote which basically said the same thing. Froggy also provided a bunch of links in post 48 and though several of the posts are several years old they show one thing, a consistent stance that the Auction House is a free market economy.

I am sorry for the confusion, Jungle.
