Almost wish they would just implement item cost limits like the Runescape Grand Exchange.
For anyone who doesn't know what that is; to help put a stop to botting and meso selling the makers of Runescape, Jagex, literally had to take direct control of item prices and disallow uneven trades. Every item has a max and minimum price, and depending on what level you were you could give away/get for free a certain amount of item worth/cash per hour... Based on how much an item sells for (its minimum or its maximum) that price is edited to reflect the demand. Merchanters were pissed, because the wankers cant directly control the economy anymore if they have access to an entire stock of a rare item, but it made smaller scale merchanting easy as hell. Buy for minimum price, sell for maximum.
Its cool because the grand exchange itself is a place where you can put up offers for an item within its price range (maximum if you want it immediately, minimum if you want to save, of course) and it will automaticallly do the trade if an offer with your specified price is found...
Im just bringing this up because my bro just told me now apparently a few hackers just wrecked the economy and something like this might be necessary o_o... -starts actually reading the more recent posts to see if this was brought up lol-
