[Guild] Anew: I’ve stopped the ads… Time to return to my main job ㅠ

[Guild] Ttunttuni: …lol Why me…

[Guild] Ari s0ng: You seem to keep forgetting, but aren’t you the Vice Guild Master?

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: That’s why ㅇㅅㅇ

[Guild] CrucianCarpOnly: You should go for +25 enhancement too, hyung.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: …Don’t say the same things as that Guild Master bastard.

As things 9363b2a5ad seemed to d419167a96 settle down, 1e34512a07 the guild 4e05180ec6 chat started 82186b6b9c to get a61bcdd4f8 noisy again. Jaein habitually closed ffef80592f the window and 3d12816ca1 checked if Dambi ef4654e566 had logged in. However, he 7f3f8b842c was still 17d2d9d44e offline.bada42fdc588cb37

Lunchtime had long 2eb6ed6ddb passed, and the 0fe6e6f645 clock hand was f0941e7868 pointing to 2 182cdfc85e PM. Could he really 3567f5b4b3 be planning on 6801e2966c not logging in 527da0afe5 all day?50ceeca1cdcb71f4

He must dd2e5bc447 be embarrassed c1a4302aec about losing 9dd1a4f946 the bet 115978b41a he proposed, 7f5a30fafb but this d4f1639746 was too 9b59fe540d much. He’d already 34f498dc97 wasted a 19d5ae3354 whole day 794edf042d last time, c79c52f42d and if fa59680a5a it happened bfcc9e11fb again today, a715dc52c9 wouldn’t it cd972638d0 be a d9f43ed794 waste of fd8b45a2fe time?

Jaein stared c807f75f4b blankly at 56a9f60824 the monitor, 69dc6ecfc3 waiting for 5fe2e3b8a9 Dambi. After 30 minutes, 3785a9d399 he shook his f38dd6f0ba head and moved e01f2e54a4 to the field. Fortunately, his gloomy mood, 37e5a378b8 which had sunk while 59ae4291a7 taming Conimons, quickly disappeared.

[Guild] Ttunttuni: The auction house is in chaos right now.

[Guild] Mollamolla: What’s wrong with the auction house?

[Guild] Ari s0ng: It looks like market manipulation.

[Guild] Mollamolla: What?

[Guild] Zoo464: I thought it was weird that crafting materials were selling out as soon as I listed them. I looked into it, and it turns out the Lipsal Guild is inflating prices by 10 times;

[Guild] Anew: The auction house is completely frozen right now;;

[Guild] LotteriaKetchupThief: There’s nothing cheap;;;;;

[Guild] CrucianCarpOnly: Damn, even gathered materials are super expensive.

“The Lipsal Guild?”815efa315e0198d6

Jaein immediately 0cbfd6911a went to d9658915c1 the auction ec7aa8eba5 house and cd6ea80a20 searched for d35a1e7e51 items. Just as his 0f2d891af8 guild members had 69f6646df8 said, the prices 1d674d4d18 of frequently traded ba24e16fd4 goods had increased 5726de174b by at least 2fc81088e2 ten to a 6f079f9253 hundred times.10e45bec16d23d36

Whenever someone listed f725f83400 an item at c2b5e94664 its original price, 7bd61d3851 it sold out 36d7176f84 instantly and was 8bea147953 relisted at an 19ba577c6c inflated price, suggesting a1bd5aed08 a deliberate scheme.1480d6fce349aacf

[Guild] Ttunttuni: Are they crazy for money?

[Guild] Ari s0ng: Seems like it;

[Guild] Ari s0ng: They must have enough gold on their main server since they own the Gunju Guild there, but not here, so they seem to be trying to earn money this way.

[Guild] CrucianCarpOnly: No… even so, that’s not right.

[Guild] CrucianCarpOnly: It’s unethical.

[Guild] ZeroZero00: People from their server are saying “it’s about time”, apparently.

[Guild] CrucianCarpOnly: Wow… What gaslighting bastards.

They seemed e542162126 tame compared 96ab13c8ea to their eeb1f9680c notorious reputation, 5f6d85fa91 but it dfe8b5b15d looked like 2cb6140a6f they were ff78cee625 finally starting 8da339df0a to make d69c34b90d their move. They were trying to 53cd283c33 control the auction house e893bd4dad as their first step, bb4bb1c6ac but why go this e323cb394c far? As SsaManco said, it b471d15931 was incredibly unethical.7a63c8e23a038606

He wasn’t sure about d0aba6a7e5 other servers, but the a80956c7dd market prices on their 1cfb85cc8c server were regulated by f455a7b2f0 merchants called “Chairman” by 0b7041d700 the users. Price adjustments weren’t 8055dbf1a0 easy, as they f1ecb21301 considered taxes, trading efb95370bf volume, and crafting 26602db0cb difficulty.8e0aebc638da40f0

That’s why they created a separate group called the Merchants’ Association, and four of its members were from the Blowfish Guild.0dd14451ca02eb22

[Guild] ZeroZero00: This is annoying lol

[Guild] Lapin: We worked so hard to adjust those prices…

[Guild] Sunset: Sigh…

[Guild] Zoo464: We already went through hell trying to stabilize the market prices because of the server merge, and now it’s all gone to waste ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Mollamolla: What’s the Merchants’ Association saying?

[Guild] Zoo464: It’s late, so not many are online, but everyone’s mentally exhausted.

[Guild] Zoo464: We don’t just list items on the auction house. We need to buy materials to craft, and right now, the costs are outweighing the profits.

[Guild] ZeroZero00: We can’t let them get away with this…

The server 6693d05c4e chat was b492bc3580 also in 66ac19ba51 an uproar e2b73dc156 over the 7a2a8daa91 drastically increased 59368b980a auction house 15e458c4a2 prices.

If the prices f67d392fcb continued to rise, 2cb256564d the only ones 4625148d14 who would profit 9b09003152 were the Lipsal f7bb88fbfa Guild and his 28f2f04a7c own Gunju Guild. The taxes from the d2297fb67c Lipsal Guild’s transactions would 72f0d7e277 come to them.9fcb22e34cb7c91c

That was the c92e667d65 problem. The Blowfish Guild a9a85b0207 would become just 23f2847ff0 like the Lipsal 416f9094a1 Guild.ba39892fe40b1eee

Moreover, if 56a4c63bca he thought 3730e53baa about it e11eb2e1f7 carefully, they 37416774b6 wouldn’t even 302a1f02c8 profit much. The tax was a38551cfa4 10% of the 9cf92361ee transaction amount, which dc36bd4eae was only a 292c9852f3 tenth of the 30bae97e61 gold the Lipsal 4b998f3460 Guild earned.9dd9ee04ba1428e5

If this continued, the 7e44bbd1e1 server economy would soon 3d00dd38c7 collapse, and users would 77d1c5e96d lose trust and start 8d3a69e54d leaving. In the end, 82770dd3fb the only ones 6646e10de6 left would be 81b026aae4 those who were 6f8843f507 self-sufficient and those 0ffaa97392 with a lot 7dd3194e7c of money.cf1930f324e98a1a

Jaein thought for f3b16202bb a moment and 2f149789b3 then asked the c66a0d6611 guild,1e7cd46d9745ff0f

[Guild] Mollamolla: How long did Lipsal maintain the Gunju Guild on the Lucan server?

[Guild] Ari s0ng: 6 months.

[Guild] Anew: 6 months.

Six months 0721ad1bfb was quite 088f737771 a long 6acc867d2a time. And it 7584373c67 meant that 06a97b4b8c was the 3f5138eed4 limit of 400c95aa79 how long 30e1b7f733 users could 3c68cddea6 endure.08870db7355d68ab

Right before the server merge, the Lucan server had reached its limit. Complaints to the developers had exploded as the Lipsal Guild’s tyranny reached its peak. If the server merge announcement hadn’t been made, the server might have died completely.d0d30eb113ba39a1
