    There's nothing to stop it, but moral integrity. This could be past reps mentioned instead of current ones too. Then again...I mean they could just be buying old sets hoping to hit it lucky. Still this feels like a name and shame thread with out a name.

    You know how you stop people from doing this practice? You ruin their market and tell everybody what theyre buying and you name name's. If you aren't willing to do that, you're just as complicit or you're full of it.

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Would be hard to not buy anything cheap if you know it's going to get more sought after. I know I would. There has been some unusual activity like completely useless sets being bought out.

    Two things have happened:
    1. They've said they plan on reviving some dead sets.
    2. DLC announcemnt is close.

    I don't fault them for using/abusing the private information they received during their discussions with the devs. Who wouldn't? An example would be Mother's Sorrow buff and last minute nerf. How many people invested in that? The difference with PTS is that the info is available to everyone. So everyone can make early predictions.

    But still who hasn't done this?

    Martha may be a jerk irl but she got rail roaded on those charges.

    Anyway, shadow dancer's rainment huh? So vamps are getting a huge nerf hammer and they figure everybody will want this? Dark Stalker is hasta la vista maybe?

    there is a trollface in my comment....

    I do not beliefe, that any rep makes profit by already buying sets together, which will be buffed. If so, please OP tell me who bought all that gear and especially which gear set.

    Ha. I'm not very hip so I missed that. But yes. I guess this is how WW3 starts.

    But a revamped Shadow Dancer's Rainment would be nice. I might be able to drop vamp then. :)

    Well ZOS said that they are going to buff crappy sets. So all you have to do is think of some useless sets and stock up. Maybe you'll get lucky and one will be a set that gets major buffs.

    Ever since Murkmire hit a lot of endgame players stopped supplying the demand for a couple of items and most the population is newer players who don't have a ton of gold which is why you see the drop in prices of certain things like crafting materials. However more specialty items are typically only useful to higher level players and if higher level players stop playing then it becomes even rarer.

    Taking a shot at these "sets" people are freaking out about. I would suspect anything dealing with poison or disease damage. As Necro's will almost certainly use that as base damage. But honestly, the class won't be here till the next chapter right? So...sometime in the summer?

    The other thing still holds true. Streamers make a new build, and people go hunting for the pieces.

    I can understand why Necropotence sales would go up (obviously). And, perhaps some Khajiiti themed items as well.

    Now- if people suddenly started farming Direfrost for Ice Furnace- I’d think something was fishy. :D

    Without any sort of proof, I have to say I'm a bit skeptical about the whole conspiracy.

    Even if it were true, I can't say that I really care all that much. If a set gets buffed and I want it, I'll just go grind for it. I hate the current guild trader system, so I rarely buy anything anyway. I'll post stuff for sale, but If I can't find it on my own guilds, I won't run over all the zones searching it out.

    I would say do not speculate and start the flame without solid proof or even the set name. ZOS should just check it out as they have proper tools for it (or so I hope ...), if it was true make a public wall of shame and point fingers + ban for such thing + demotion from Class Rep to "I was naughty and got punished".
    if it wasn't true that certain sets that they shared info with the Class Reps, they should just post item sets bought list from class reps on forum to stop the flaming.

    End enough story, no need to wonder if they did it or not, I mean without solid proof I can say half of people posting here are serial killers too given the logic OP goes by.


    Ok so to sum it up:

    OP post the items
    OP makes a report to ZOS along with proof he thinks he has
    ZOS responds and is going to find out if it was true or falce accusation
    ZOS gives us info if it was false or not accusation with evidence.

    Why are people so obssessed with class reps, who are essentially unpaid interns? It's honestly just creepy at this point.

    If you're that jealous of class reps, maybe stop making garbage threads like this and try to be helpful to the community like the current class reps have?

    Funny that you mention that. A couple of days ago Direfrost was a pledge, and i ran it around 20 times to get some Hulking Draugr for a stamplar build. I met a lot of people that were looking for Ice Furnace.

    Yes I'd like to expose @Liofa he told me the Ancient Grace and Bloodthorn's Touch sets are going to be extremely overpowered next patch and he has bought 1 mil gold worth of these gears from me and told me to keep quiet about it.

    But I am an honest person and I cannot stay quiet. People of ESO deserve to know the truth, Liofa cannot hide this from you any longer!!!!!!
