At this point are you, seriously, comparing loosing a few gold on the AH, because you didn’t check the sell price, with someone loosing their account?
Dude, just how much did you loose?
Are you seriously trying to make an excuse for people not having personal accountability?
it really is a solution. People need to be more careful and accept that if they rushed and listed for below market value and got “scammed”(it’s not a scam) then it’s on them, not blizzard. They don’t regulate the market.
That’s like employees telling their employers how much they should be paid.
I tell you how much you will be paid, you can then decide if you want the job or not, that is how it works.
I set the price, if it’s too expensive just don’t buy it.
I didn’t lose anything and you still have no clue what this discussion is about, mainly because you’ve been focused on “well, actually” technicalities rather than the content of my suggestion.
That’s not a comparison, it’s about testing a principle.
What exactly is the excuse you think i made? The fact is that “just pay more attention” doesn’t solve this problem, never has, never will. I also have not asked blizzard to “regulate the market”, it’s a feature people asked for ages now that happens to have the side effect of making this particular scam impossible, the question is: Why do you really want so much for this scam to exist in the game?
Why not look up what buy orders are before making a fool of youself?
I love being right, so use that as motivation.
Now I want you to explain to me what a buy order is, I need you to do this so it is more impactful when I destroy your argument.
I don’t remember last time i laughed so hard, you must be completely delusional.
Also scroll up, it was already explained, but in traditional forum fashion i guess you just jumped into a discussion with no clue what it’s about and immediately started to disagree with whatever is proposed.
But still, i want you to humor me so, a buy order is a listing players can make at the AH for an item they want and they can list the price they’re willing to pay for it. Other players can either accept that offer if it’s high enough or use the AH with its current functionality to make a sell order at the market price.
Now please explain how this is tyranny or whatever.
nothing, it’s just too slow to react to anyhing, so you have to be mega careful, or be at the mercy of trolls.
Right, lemme school you.
As your employer why would I allow you to dictate your salary, I’m going to pay you as little as possible under the law, that’s capitalism; the very thing “buy orders” are antithetical to.
I set your salary; if you don’t like it; there’s the door.

You’re too young to know how the job market works, but as an employee you can negotiate your salary, you can make an offer of how much you want to to get paid and the employer can accept or reject that offer, this is how buy orders work, nobody dictates anything and the more you talk the more you show of how clueless you are about more and more subjects, including capitalism.
And again, in typical forum fashion, the more ignorant you are the more certain you are of your beliefs and the the only thing you can possibly destroy is the reader’s neurons by exposing them to such stupidity.
edit: and i didn’t even mention that your whole analogy is flawed because the relationship between two players in the game is not the same as employer and employee.

Interesting take.
Right, lemme school you again.
Do you know how leverage works?!
You’re the one that needs the job, I couldn’t care any less if it’s you or the next person that takes it.
So yeah, I’m the one that dictates your salary, because I have the leverage and if you don’t like it; again, there’s the door.
In capitalism, those with leverage are the ones who will win the exchange.
So why would I give up the leverage I have on the free market to go and complete buy orders?
I am light years ahead of you, so do yourself a favour and just take the job at minimum wage.

Much better than you, i’m actually surprised you even know what that word means.
Exactly, which means either party can have leverage and demand better terms, which directly contradicts your previous statement that the employer sets the salary.
You’re making the mistake of thinking that only the employer has leverage, based on the assumption that the employee is desperate for a job and your business can function without employees.
Because the free market works both ways, you may need gold more than the buyer needs the item, a simple fact you seem incapable of comprehending.
But again, despite your narrow-minded misunderstanding of how the job market works, the same dynamic doesn’t apply to players in the game.
Right now only the seller can make an offer through the AH, while the buyer has to use whispers or trade chat, buy orders just allows buyers to make their offers through the AH aswell and nobody forces you to accept it. Perhaps you should spend more time understanding how the AH works than smugly owning yourself on the forum.

How can you think you’re smarter than me when making statements like this?
If I have more money than you, you will do what I say, that’s how leverage works in capitalism.
What world are you living in, I would fire you on the spot, you work for me so you’re going to do what I say.
The Golden Rule - Those with the gold, make the rules.
“Both ways”, Nah, this is what the HR department is for, giving meek individuals such as yourself that illusion.
You work for me, something you should bear in mind.
Or I can just fire you now if you keep talking recklessly.
That became obvious after reading your delusional posts. Anyway, since you failed to address my buy orders suggestion there is no need for me to engage with your childish fantasies.
