Something have to be done about the people who try to ruin the first search page for every valuable item on the website, I'll explain:

Someone create a lot of accounts and for each account he puts a valuable item on sale for less, like 1 chaos for the reliquiary key. What happen is that the first search page for that item is flooded with 1 chaos priced RK (reliquiary key).

A user now drops this item and goes to sell it and check his price, see that is priced 1c and put it at - for example - 1 alch.

The scammer have the live search active on that item to be priced under a certain value, when a user get fooled by the lower prices and put his item on sale for less, the scammer get alerted and go buy that item for almost nothing.

This happen for every valuable item i've searched.

The first account doing that is: EthicalTransactions, now the market is flooded with hundreds of those accounts with sort-of-legit names.

They will - of course - not sell the item if contacted and just ignore you with DND mode.

Something have to be done as more and more players are getting scammed this way.

I think I good start would be to put the mean (average), median (middle), and mode (most frequent) prices at the top of the search results.

I don't know if this could be a solution, I think it may leads to different kind of problems but something need to be done, a round of bans from the website would be a nice start meanwhile we find out a better method

So I think when somebody searches for 3b2r1g the ones which have the possible setup with white sockets should be shown as well. Or maybe even add a checkbox on the bottom (automatically enabled preferably) that is count white sockets as all kinds.

Totally agree.

What a good idea here^^
