1. Buying Platinum items in bulk and selling them one at a time trying to set a market price and anyone that sells under what I am selling I buy them up and continue selling for the same price always?
2. Collecting.. Buying all of one certain item for a price until you by so many the price has no choice but to go up?
3. Wall glitching?
4. Buying a item on one toon and mailing it to your alt to be sold at a higher price for profit?
5. now the auction house is here is it still okay to shout buying and selling items over and over again?
These are some main topics I am wondering about I am the old player and and getting bored so I started buying and selling and collecting just wondering if otm frowns upon stuff like that buying Platinum and using the gold to invest in items to sell for purely profit later.
Re: Does otm look down on
#2OTM doesn't care about any of those unless you are using #3 to disrupt/disturb other players
Re: Does otm look down on
#3If it doesn’t mention it in TOS, then you’re most likely fine.
So to answer your question, just #3 will be ‘looked down on’.

#7I’ll add to what others have said...
#1-2 People see through forced economics and will rebel. I still pay 5k for sigils even though there are people trying to market them at double to quadruple that price. It’s ridiculous. And if someone offers me 30k for an alt book, I won’t take it; I still charge a decent price. I won’t take advantage of their lack of knowledge of the going rates.
#4 seems just on the verge of dishonest. If you gain a reputation for being fair, your customers will trust you and become your friends. You won’t need to use alts to buy and sell. Using alts will, in fact, make people distrust you. I buy and sell a lot of fashion and people know I won’t price gouge them. They know I’m fair and try my best to be consistent so they keep coming back. I help them sell their own fashion at fair prices, too. I buy from them sometimes when it’s something I may need for my collection or for a friend. Merching is about more than making money; it’s about building strong relationships.
#5 is annoying if you do it incessantly. Shouting occasionally is fine, that’s why it’s there, but the AH really has eliminated the need for most of that, unless you’re selling things that can’t be put in there like fashion SETS!
Still no way to do that,yet...
Just my opinion...
