Good job. Now you can be the king of East Commons and have some sort of relevance of success in your life. People are losers.

I'm no programmer but isn't it possible to tie live feed only to certain identified/trusted contributors and use client to server encryption, rejecting any other data?

definitely, it would be also wise to give IPs of dubious activities to P99 to monitor, as I suspect these people might be involved in RMT and such activities...

Sounds like Swish

I don't ever see myself going "full Grocer", I think its good to see the community have things like this...the server will be worse off for it.

Seems like the sky is falling in lately. Is it time for something <fresh>?

I say we band together and find the malicious attacker(s). Then take them out behind the barn.

site has it's flaws but it's so fking convenient.

I'm guessing the people behind p99auctions don't have the time or desire to recode everything to bulster it's encryption and or source of information.

While I love the spirit of this post. IPs can be rotated, ISPs can be changed. It's one of the flaws in the 'anonymous' system that is the internet today, necessary evil.

It does make you wonder how players are going to determine prices for items now?

The same way they always have. Perception of item value.
Nothing on P99 (Blue or Red) has real value. Supply and Demand isn't even a thing on blue or red.

Everyone who is active could have fungi's for their main and there would still be a lot left over. Yet people still precieve it to be worth ~40k atm (6 months ago it was 60k, which it was precieved to be valued at for years)

My condolences to the p99auctions team on their loss, but a huge thank you to the asshole responsible for ridding us of this non-classic feature.

The site was being heavily exploited by a handful of individuals using armies of alts to established their preferred prices on items.

The site's existence also diluted social interaction. Since th rise of p99auctions players have become less sociable and more unpleasant whenever encountering an offer (buy or sell) deviating from the price established by the spammers.

I used to have fun when I needed to dump my wares in EC. More recently I dread going there because of player attitudes associated with that site.

I am certain an alternative will rise in short order to fill the void, liberating players from the burden of choice.

For now though, good riddance.

Don't watch TV, and never read these forums if you want to remain a happy human being.

You are the type of person I loathe in society.

This is why p99 can't have nice things.

Not to go into it, you went into it deep enough... But of the pro and cons you nailed the cons of why I did not like the site.

It simply was too easy to manipulate by players in the game to put prices where they wanted them to be.

The idea behind the site was great, sadly when people can manipulate nice things to their advantage and to the detriment of others, it will be done.
