  1. There has been no modifications from vanilla with the exclusion of certain special balls having their rates tweaked. These tweaks to ball rates are publicly documented in the item descriptions. The formula is gen 3/4, and monster capture rates should be unmodified gen 5.
  2. Ah whoops, I conflated informed consumerism and the right to be informed with informed consent. I've edited that post.
  3. We're already planning to address it in more ways, we've already implemented price caps to prevent the main issue, which was order of magnitude differences. It's easy to miss the extra digit when they are all the same. The RP Vouchers are extra egregious because there's two different places this order of magnitude occurred, on the item itself and on price. But by no means was this the only item this happens with. We've had to restrict other items, and will very likely have to add more too. Sure, a better icon wouldn't even prevent the issue entirely, but it might help a little. We're considering other options to fix this, such as an automated valuation with warnings when value is too far off, but these will take time to implement. It becomes extremely hard to do for non-fungible items, but for fungible items it may be reasonable to do soon.
  4. The thread is a bit too heated atm, throwing insults and not really conductive to an actual discussion. I would have liked to reply earlier and leave it open, but for now it's better off left locked. We've wanted a value tracker and automated price limits for a while, it just gets extremely complicated with non-fungible items (monsters). So it never has really gotten enough dev time. We should probably have still already implemented it for fungible items. I edited my reply to address the anon aspect afterward. The problem is that these players have already gained (in some cases quite large) amounts of value from this. Announcing it wouldn't make that go away, we've already added upper bounds price caps to prevent further exploitation and will make this system better and less reliant on manual updates in the future. It should be obvious, but if prices were to get close to these limits they would be raised, but a few users in this thread don't quite understand this. The work is being done, but the users who have already taken advantage of other users is a separate issue.
  5. Okay boys and girls, listen up. It's time for an economics lesson with Desu. Free Market is only a free market if it has a few principals that are required to have a functional free market, one of which is informed consumerism. All parties on a contract must be aware of the terms and and conditions of what they are agreeing to. This includes the price and actual value of the item they are selling/purchasing. In these cases, there's a clear lack of consent made obvious by immediate regret upon realizing the true terms of the "contract" they just agreed to. Even some of the freest of markets have consumer protections and requirements for refunds build into the economic system for people who express regret. This keeps the system fair, there's no benefit in scamming someone if they can just return the item up for 24 hours. There's no mechanism to do this on the GTL, so we have to enforce additional rules to prevent this. In a true free market, scamming and ripping off other players will hurt your reputation, but the GTL being anonymous doesn't have any feedback mechanism. A true free market would be much more baazar style, where every seller has their own stall or business. Competing for customers based on trust, reputation, and reliability, in addition to price. The GTL is arguably, not a free market due to these limitations. High-pressure sales tactics are another highly regulated and illegal practice that conflicts with true free market informed consumerism. You can't have informed consumers if you do not have time to properly consider your options and responsibly make a purchase. The situation of listing an item which looks like it is under-priced and will sell extremely fast is exactly a high pressure sales tactic. This behavior of listing an item with a misleading price and creating a false sense of urgency is a textbook Illegal high-pressure sales tactic. Lastly, this scam has always been against the rules, but it has gone unreported due to the anonymous nature of the GTL. This isn't a sudden rule change, but an increase in enforcement due to the rapid increase in scams. No staff member, and to my knowledge, no friend of staff member has fallen for this scam. Enforcement has started due to the increase of players reporting and being made aware that they can report this.
  6. Have you tried not scamming other players? 你有没有试过不诈骗其他玩家?

  11. This is a false positive, we will be contacting Kaspersky again shortly.
  12. We are not going to help you debug a problem when you're running Vista still.
  13. This isn't new, we've said before we plan to do it eventually™ We're not actively working on it now.
  14. No, there's too much state that isn't persistent.
  15. This latest change correctly sets the cap to 5% profitability after fees.
  16. We gave a 2 hour window from when we turned off the entrance npc. It's a balancing act on online population, off-peak time, and how long nobody can play for the sake of people with longer runs. Our shutdown timer only does the full effect for the last 10 minutes unfortunately, we announced a bit earlier but not everyone would have seen that. I avoided shutting down when anyone was past 25 score, but there's a point where it has to be done.

  21. This is called price discovery. Someone who doesn't value it as highly as you do lists it cheaply to sell it, and if someone else values it more than that they will buy it. This isn't a problem, and if your items aren't selling, you've priced them too high. Buyers and sellers aren't always equal forces, sometimes prices wax and wane for seemingly no reason. If they're as cheap as you suggest, you should be buying them and relisting them to take advantage of their lack of patience compared to yours.
