List of Confirmed EC Fatcats

[indiscriminate_hater]

I think it's worthwhile to keep an up-to-date list of known scumbag EC Tunnelquesters. Aside from being general nuisances who spam WTB offers of 2/3 of going rates for all items on the market, these slimy middlemen try to manipulate the market in the following ways:

• They send hate tells to others who are undercutting them (read: offering the same items that they are, but at normal prices)
• They send tells to people trying to convince them that their wares don't go for as much anymore, and/or rarely find buyers, and that they'll "take it off their hands to free up their time"
• They attempt to push the market price of items in a certain direction by offering fake WTB and WTS auctions on their armies of alts, in an attempt to have auction logging tools such as the wiki and http://ahungry.com/eqauctions display these bogus offers
• Perhaps counter-intuitively, they reduce liquidity in the marketplace by jamming up items while holding out for the best deal
• They make the tunnel and the server generally worse because of their toxic presence, and do not provide value to the culture or well-being of the server

Now before you all say "Antonin, you're just a jelly anti-semite who can't afford to buy pixels", know that this list will help our posterity of future server noobs by letting them know who to avoid. And, if we all avoid these pests, we can get rid of this plague on our beloved server.

I'll start the list.

Winkell - one of the most egregious fatcats in the tunnel today, this guy spends about 8-12 hours per day trying to skim off the top of deals. His most recent play: buying a Lodi shield for 40k and trying to resell it for "55k of trade for a fungi". Personally, he has, on several occasions, offered me 8k for an Iksar Regen BP.

Why doesn't someone just form a "procurement services" or "order direct" guild and put them out of business. Just park a mule in EC advertising sales of EVERYTHING at 10% or whatever, less than the fat cats with a 1-2 week (or whatever is appropriate for said item) fulfillment period?

Finally a good rnf thread. Actually has a purpose! Good for community awareness!

That just sounds like he was putting plat in your trade screen so he could move faster.
