Eh, I personally think it's okay for treasure MP items to be priced over MP value. I am equally guilty of doing this, but I think of it as a convivence of not needing to wait or stalk for restock. However, because I am guilty of this, I am absolutely biased on this point of view. This is just something that's common in the MMOs I play too, and I very much will buy things over market value if it's effort/10 for me to go to the vendor. however, I can understand how you feel this way, but I don't think others are intending to take advantage of others. I would be upset if people were buying them out of ignorance instead of "I don't feel like waiting for restock". I just see it as playing the market, and I realllllyyy hope it's just mostly people like me who are buying it for that effort/10 reason.
Now for gems... absolutely predatory. I think there's people who do it for +5 gems, mostly to prevent these monsters from listing things that never go out of stock for mark up.
((Honestly, Ellipoo wasn't one of the ones really annoying me last time I was scroll flipping though. I forget who it was of the top of my head, but even they are nowhere near as bad as Carnivore was. Carnivore was the bane of my existence.))
Yeah I don't really see the big deal. People absolutely don't have to buy a treasure MP item and wait for it to restock especially if it's new. I wish it was more clear that the MP price is the hoardsell price x10.

Carnivore did get banned for botting the AH, so that might be why they were the bane of your existence.
Ellipoo is just annoying and sus as most of their interactions are with or related to fellow sus person Mahogi.
Mahogi was claiming they were sisters with ElliPoo up until a few months ago, but that seems to have been removed from their profile, and now they only have one sister listed in their FAQ.
Thanks for that info. I know Mahogi is block evading me to undercut in AH. It's possible it's through ElliPoo, but they're both annoying either way. Time to block the other one!
"I respect and support all fair competition"? I remember seeing Mahogi's public meltdown in a domshop that refused their order, so idk about that respect...
Man, you just brought back memories of me, wanting to find a dom shop, seeing Mahogi in a fit and I just thought "wtf is going on". The dom shop had a small fee if you exceeded 1mil treasure (understandable imo), so Mahogi apparently straight up asked them if they could avoid this fee by splitting up the order.
They tried deleting their posts, but the DOM shop owner was smart to quote Mahogi when replying to them. I remember seeing Mahogi's posts and I'm so glad the owner quoted them because they're just as funny and childish as I remember. For anyone interested, the thread was archived before Mahogi deleted their posts: https://web.archive.org/web/20190302044341/http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/2128279/85 https://web.archive.org/web/20190302044716/http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/2128279/86
I'm not sure if this was the public meltdown you were talking about, but if it was, then wow I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed - that shit was hilarious.
It was this one but I didn't even see the second part - my favorite part is saying "(not my problem that you are subscribed)" to the service thread owner lol
