In theory, using AH is not a violation of ToS, but I think there may be a case for player grieving, and certainly a tactics GS has used.
It is good you point that out. Players should also be careful of unreasonably priced items. With FFXIAH now... it takes a little more work to manipulate price that way.
In the end, supply and demand is what control price. Insider trading and fudge price doesn't work in the long term :3. It is also pointed out now a lot of players now are as lowly as GS (or even worse, I actually think a lot of real player "ethics" are far worse than GS now).
It turns out one of the "victims" is someone I know and he has a quite influential NA LS in his backing. I guess... there will be a hell to pay :P
Apart from that, about the song lyrics posted above: IMO. LS leaders have the responsibility for his own LS member action. If there is a misbehavior of a member to other people, LS leader should take measures against it. Oh well, quite a bit of E-Peen people would rather have a everyone-knows botter in their LS so they can get their Ridills.
