I think it is market control. They'd rather loot a weeks worth of rings and have them start to rot/ go thru the work of recorpsing than allow them to regularly go less than the controlled price (5k?).

That's the dirty secret though, I've seen the black market side of jboots too, they don't go for 5k, they go for 3k if you have the right connections.
5k is just the controlled price for the regular market. It's fine for normal market use but the people(hirem) that are perma-camping AC are selling it in backdoor channels on other websites (such as discord) for 3k.
I warned the GMs this was going on too and got told to basically bugger off. Not sure how much more corrupt it could get aside from the GMs getting money donations to "look the other way"
The real sad truth is that naelamru, aka snaccpak, was caught in the middle of all this. I'm guessing he saw the lower prices too and was offering those standards to the open market. The people that immediately started to "shut him down" wasn't because of the kill theft, but rather, because he was breaking the market up-sale.
They can't corner the market if everyone offers the same price. It's money loss to them.
