It's about time we reveal the ID of sellers on the AH - Page 3

I don't suppose people who vastly overpay for cards would take notice of the seller's name anyway, and illegal transactions between accounts are something OOTP has to monitor on their end anyway.

One more effective measure against price gouging (which should only be called that in extreme circumstances imo), would be limiting users to owning x amount of a certain card. 5? I don't know. Aside from that it's just supply/demand like normal, there is no 'right' to be able to buy a card on the AH at a 'fair' price on demand.

The auction house became junk the minute the Devs allowed and ENCOURAGED users to have multiple Perfect Team accounts. The fact that people can just stash 5+ accounts, earn 5x the PP with them, and open 5+ times the packs that a 1-team player opens is ridiculous. I guarantee all of you multiple account holders have manipulated auctions or used the AH to trade players or PP between teams.

Frankly, multiple account holders should be banned.

It's nice to "pretend" you could report an auction. The trouble is, I highly doubt any devs/admins actually monitor the auction house or even pay attention when people call out bogus auctions. Has anyone ever heard of someone getting banned for AH manipulation or account trading? I'd be really surprised, not to mention OOTP puts itself in a liability situation if they ban someone who spent real money to buy points. I bet the number of banned accounts is probably less than a handful through all the years of OOTP. It's cold war admin'ing -- it's said it can happen just as a deterrent, but it never has and never does.

i never thought about that. i have 2 teams each of the last 2 versions and i build both teams differently. Might have to consider this for 22 since i am only F2P.
