@kruimel0 The person I'm working with (he does the data side of things) said he has plans to expand to EMS soon.
@hadriel One of the nice things this site does is it exposes all of the meso sellers. If Nexon wanted to go on a mass ban spree, they could just do a search for Arrow and sort by price.
To mention people, don't forget the semicolon e.g. "@Faytth" + ";" = @Faytth; [hmm I messed up somehow... @Faytth works and so does @Faytth;? But yours didn't work...]
I can compare this to Basil's website, and any standard auction house in-game. As of now, this can be seen as undermining the game due to the loss of revenue from Owls, and it still is a form of botting. I have to admit though, I would hate to lose this function. I consider this a pre-auction house alternative that is technically shaded, but morally ok. But in comparision to Basil, which posts prices a user "quotes", Basil offers a complementary function with minimal invasion to the actual game, while yours extracts data from the game directly and overlaps directly with some parts of the game function.
"Nice" is a subjective adjective -- I would surely imagine Nexon is more than capable of logging all price changes etc. on FM shops, and track down what has been sold etc. This is a "nice" but external advantage.
I'm not interested in what happened before. I'm only interested in the motive (by a bit only) and the functions and capabilities.
