I agree that making the resale rate for raw and refined materials zero would help a lot but I don't think it would eliminate it. I think that ESO and affiliates will never go after goldah directly, as someone said that they contribute a lot of fund to ESO themselves. I did a search under a private brousing session just to look at there puke arse sight and I cant believe how much these buthole are selling Daedric Motifs for I think 59 bucks, what a joke. They sell Denata runes for .99 Rekuta for 1.99 and Kuta runes for 2.99. That's only some of the scam prices and they were like six bucks before. I'm sure they got an army of players working indirectly for them. ESO needs to hire more people to work each area in every pact to spend there day zapping bots because people like me and you report 30 or more bots a day for practicaly nothing. This Game Master coming in and zapping a few bots a day is just for show and realy
The problem isn't even vendor price for raw materials. The problem is, ZOS let these exploiters bot their way to higher levels and now they have rank 3/3 extraction. So they harvest those raw materials to refine them with a high chance of getting purple and gold crafting materials they then sell for gold or RMT.
oops. a joke. The Bots are getting harder to report because they are just to fast they fly and go through terrain standing still faster than a speeding bullet and at least faster than your horse can run. I have to sit at a resource and wait for them to come buy and I have a hot key message I write for ESO.
I can't people would spend money on a subscription and pay these fools at goldah for over inflated supplies. Goldah does this crap for WOW and SOTA and more and ESO won't stop them either, if they even want too.
ESO could just offer the same service I guess, but I don't buy anything in the game none of it's better than you can make yourself if you want too, that's what I do. I'm not in any guild as I don't care to do PVP campaigns or buy or sell anything for money anyways as there is nothing to buy besides a horse.
The bottom line is that the only way to even make a dent in it ourselves is offer good values ourselves in guilds besides the over inflated buying and selling in the chat window, which is probably mostly bot masters anyways.
And most of all would be to get the word out in your guild to not buy the junk from goldah.
Sorry so long I hope people agree I'm tired of bots everywhere and I know everyone is too. I hope my message doesn't get deleted by ESO but I think there the biggest reason we still have bots. The whole thing is a joke when you got level 2 prison garbed bots doing quests in Eastmarch within the Pact. come on.
