Rite of Passage Market Manipulation

Hey Exiles,

Just came across what I believe to be some pretty blatant market manipulation. Search Rite of Passage (Cat, Bear, Ox, Primate, Wolf) and you’ll see this user (tianyunlok8#3301) has 1 or 2 of them posted, lower priced than anyone else. When you try to travel to hideout you receive the “item no longer available” message. But it’s not like someone just beat you to buying it, search again, and their items repopulate. Rinse and repeat, the same thing every time. Something terribly fishy going on here..

I haven’t played this league. But I first saw this image and thought the manipulation was how expensive this RoP is which apparently is not the case. I’m glad I took off 0.4.

I wonder if someone can exploit by having a second account sitting in their hideout and just keep buying the item as soon as its available then guild stash then sale again

Iirc they either have someone trying to buy it messing with the trade price and just not actually buying it, or they got banned and there active trades haven't been removed I forgot why that doesn't happen, but yeah..

Should be bannable imo I don’t think this would be possible without the use of bots or other type of glitch exploiting

Im pretty sure it’s just items sitting in Ange async. Just report it to support and they could look into it.

What’s the manipulation if they’re no sales? Seems more like trolling or a glitch. And the website kinda sucks compared to in game

I think it's unintended but you're right it can artificially lower the price, it allowed me to get a cat for 3k so god bless him

It’s a known problem that items from banned users are still listed but can’t be bought.
