Problem is that there is nothing stopping them or anyone else from doing it again. In fact if people will buy at that price it will encourage more to do it.

In the tribunal there needs to be an accused party, and some evidence for the admiralty to take steps on the matter.

Leaving that aside, I have observed this issue myself, not just with Cartagena Tar, and as far as I'm concerned it is an exploit. It is unlikely that any player can be punished for using this exploit, as there are gray areas where it is difficult to know if a player tried to exploit the shop bug, or was actually just trying to make a buck off a highly sought and steeply valued item. However it is an exploit that can be used to sabotage others in many ways. The most obvious is blocking highest bidding contract from filling, cheating players with the winning bid. This exploit also seems to slow down the drop-rate of some resources, which means that it can be used to reduce the tax income of some ports by blocking the most valuable trade goods in that port from spawning to the market.

do you have any proof of what you are saying?
No you do not have it because you've never bought a tar from a FIRST at 1.5 mils!

I ask you politely, stop to say lies and if you have any other problems with us it is the case that you are more explicit!

[Donjuan Dimarco]

and we are having an other egoist...

egoist egoist go away go away from this server

A GB alt, perhaps someone from another nation, is currently using this exploit to prevent tar being sold by port to the waiting buy orders. FIRST clan took down their tar sell-order and has stopped doing this following the bruhaha last night. I do not know whose alt this Adam LittleJohn is. His sell order is 5.5 mil. This exploit must be fixed.

[that guy that time]

did no one get a screenshot of Massimo's sell contract, I know he did it but everyone has to understand that without the proof there is nothing that can be done really... no screenshots of him admitting it in chat either?

It's not just an issue with cartahena tar but also Guacata saltpeter.  

[The Wren]

There is no need for punishment.

An exploit has been found in a game that we are beta testing.

Note the problem and fix it.

Move on....

[Donjuan Dimarco]

totally agree with Peter and thanks for statement of fowlplaychicken.

Cheers, and lets hope we have fun in trading soon when the developers have solved this problem in a suitable way for the whole community

[Donjuan Dimarco]

i forgot something: banhammering this alt adam littlejohn!

[Rumpelstilzchen]

german:   ich weis nicht was bei dir falsch läuft verstehst anscheinend nicht den kapitalismus .wenn du die ware kaufen möchtest musst du das zahlen was andere spieler aufrufen und wenn du nur 4,9millionen auf dem konto hast und keine 5,5 millionen auf den tisch legen kannst denn bist du raus .einfaches handels gesetz . und nur weil du die preise nicht mitgehen kannst musst du nicht so einen fall vors tribunal  stellen nur weil du zu wenig geld hast ,du hast doch alle am anfang überboten .so läuft die freie marktwirtschaft .pech gehabt wenns gold nicht reicht ,bist du raus !!!!!!!!

sorry kein fall fürs tribunal bitte um ablehnung dieses ersuchen!!!!

little john hat weder ein vorkaufs recht oder sonstiges davon und er kann seine sachen da verkaufen wo er will

so sehe ich diesen fall .und wenn du noch screenshoots brauchst habe ich ,

[Pit Pinsel]

 you can not ban the player, because the game mechanic allows it now and if the developer know it does not repair it and the game mechanic change, it is their own fault. This player just wants to make money with Cartagena Tar that is my argument. It can not be that a player is banned because he wants to sell something.
