I think what he's getting at is ghost guilds, bidding in out of the way locations just in case their primary guild loses their bid. that way they can basically place multiple bids, bypassing the restriction that guilds can only bid on one location. In the event that they ghost guild is not needed as a backup to the primary, the location can be sold (likely at a profit) to another guild that lost that week.

Larger guilds will have no problem putting 50 members together to throw at this purpose on a weekly basis.

That last line though... 500k? You may want to rethink how much you bid as that is extremely low for most locations.

Either way it's a money sink, if they want to spend that much every week, that's their prerogative.

The gold you would have bought was still farmed from the game itself, it didn't come out of thin air. And some of that gold you would have bought, then spent on items from a guild trader, would go to said guilds, then sinked out of the game by bidding on multiple traders every week.

That's you know...kind of how money sinks work.

oh yes, i know how gold sink works in this game. but there is a difference between a generalized gold sink and the question where the gold has to sink. if it mainly sinks where people havent got that much, but not in those banks, who already have too much and even are able to buy more, then its no fair system as well.

Clearly missing the point here. They aren't losing anything. They are selling these spots to smaller guilds who are afraid to lose members due to not having a trader. There are so few of us pushing back that the issue is becoming a larger nuisance to those of us who do not exploit the system in place. Sure I could make 50 separate accounts, buy gold, then place bids in different spots as well. But why should I be forced to do something others in the game are doing that was never intended to happen?

so apparently me not naming anyone was a violation? that doesn't even make sense, you guys moderate and remove things you don't like, just like the housing thread you shut down and the many threads about lag and performance, this is why people, along with other things, don't trust you as a company.
