I just transferred here from Asura and I've noticed some strange stuff going on with the auction house, at least with the goldsmithing market. I haven't had a chance to look at the others. I.E. the price of a stack of hepatizon ores was 1.2mil recently, now it's 90k. If you list a hepatizon ingot say for 150k it will sit there for a week while ingots continue to sell for 400k. I'm trying to wrap my head around how all this benefits the person doing the manipulation if anyone can shed some light on the subject?

You'll get a pretty good idea on all sides of the topic there. Your opinion is your own. Offline

Appreciate the responses everyone. At least this gives me some idea of what I'm dealing with.
everything about the AH can be corrupt
Wait until you see the Gadfathers, Part 2.

It benefits the person fixing the price because they make 10x the profit off one sale of someone not paying attention to what the price really is. The ingots are really listed at 41k but people are buying them at 400k, which is why yours aren't and will not sell. Unless you are willing to list them lower and do the same thing Coldep is, that 300k per ingot profit you saw before transfering isn't really there.
