price manipulation? big deal
basically the OP is talking about buying out a low finite quantity material and then reselling at a higher price
so if you have the spare gold, anytime you see a crafting material of less than 500-1000 units buy it all and then sell on at a higher price, which doesn't exactly work as hundreds of people stockpile and drive the price right down again, if you are lucky you might just make a profit
GENIUS!!!

Pile of Crystalline Dust L0 - Guild Wars Trade.
here's the ****ed up trend in game economies:
the bulk of trading is done by speculators and not by people using them to craft - so the bulk of materials never gets used. just bought and sold over and over as prices slowly rise.
but the rise is fueled ONLY by speculation - not by consumption. so it ends up being a huge ponzy scheme that crashes from time to time and the cycle starts again
can we get this in the elite section, please?!?

HERES THE REASON: FROM ANET
I apologize for the lack of current details. What I can currently say about this topic is that
we’ve recently begun a renewed campaign against RMT and Bots. The change in these markets is a direct result of the success of that campaign.
You can expect to see more details coming out within the next couple of weeks.

For anyone not wanting to read all the posts, here's the TLDR.
Buy item A
Tell people item A is used in an exploit
Sell item A when the price goes up
That's all this post is.
PM Please ^^
thanks
