Bumblebeeman Ruining Economy

[elgringobonito]

A Night Elf named Bumblebeeman is purchasing the Frost Oil recipe every 90 minutes, then immediately vendoring the recipe to keep ALL players from getting the recipe. He keeps this toon logged into the server 24/7 AFK at the vendor (multi-boxing). Then he charges 10g for the recipe in the AH.

When I brought his behavior up in world chat, I was told to "get cucked" and other things by his various alts. I'm guessing he does this at many different vendors on many different accounts, and thus ONE PERSON is unfairly dominating the market for many different recipes using multi-boxing and negative economic behavior.

This is against the spirit of trade within the game and should be bannable either as griefing or under some other categorization. In order to compete for recipes, players would have to create many different alts on many different accounts and station them at many different vendors, and that is something that I doubt was intended by you developers.

Moreover, with the recent LAG issues we've been having due to the unexpectedly high population, it is conceivable that Bumblebeeman and others are giving rise to lag directly by having so many toons logged in at one time. The lag may be due to multi-boxers keeping many toons in at once which they aren't even playing, and this hurts players trying to actually play the game itself.

Please respond with some word on this topic, GMs.

Thank you,

Good find. I think I've seen this person myself, hanging around Stormwind. If you're right, then damn, what a sore loser they are.

On a side note, screw multiboxers.

sounds like you're mad and want a gm to come hold your hand because some1 has taken over your precious FROST OIL market and you can't handle it

I dont think he is breaking any rules since technically you are allowed to have multiple accounts logged in for trading purposes.

After camping the vendor for several hours, I can confirm that Bumblebeeman remains AFK and logged into the server at all times, and add that he engages in PVP against others to stop them from getting the recipe.

At this point, he is technically PVP multi-boxing, which is expressly against the rules. Please advise.

/bump -- Can we get this looked at Devs? I mean, I personally don't care how horrible things go for those filthy alliance players, but this could spread to the horde side where it's actually impacting real people. (I kid Alliance... Kinda )

Already has.

Yes, the recipe on Horde side has gone up in price from 1g each to 15g each, now sold by someone named Zentrex (who also appears to be trying to corner the Frost Oil market).

Best,

I hope that actions will be taking to prevent such behaviour, as camping a vendor like that isn't blizzlike. Noone would've payed an extra account just to camp a vendor.
