What do you call this "buyers have no knowledge prior to what they're paying for" situation? Principal agent problem? I can't say that I feel sorry for the buyers who immediately jumped at no second thoughts to buy these stars from the "scammers". Heck, I haven't even done the Gollux prequests yet I know of this information shorthand after scanning through Southperry so consider me lucky. This problem will rapidly go away in just a few days the more people are aware of the cheap stars sold in the Gollux shop, so will people really care the next week?. Probably not the victims. All this does is make a cheap, quick profit for the sellers and buyers remorse.
These people have a point. The players themselves 99% control the market, not Nexon, so they have a say in what prices to establish. If Nexon really cares about the players, they would've said in their update notes or in the free market announcements that the stars are really cheap, and not just say "prices have been adjusted" which is a vague statement. Basic economics 101. Go argue at morality all you want, but at the end of the day, it's Nexon themselves who made the free market in the first place. Should you blame them?
