What would you do? |
Do nothing (so that the evil illusionist will not get 30K gold from the auction sales), but others may buy it anyway |

Buy the item (which also means giving 30K gold to the evil illusionist) and return it to the monk KNIGHT knowing that he will probably die to the illusionist again |

Buy the item (which also means giving 30K gold to the evil illusionist) and use it yourself, so that you can use it to fight evils in your own right |

You are a level 15 paladin. An evil illusionist just auctioned a tight-fitting charcoal pants for 30K gold. You know that this was taken off the corpse of a monk KNIGHT that this evil illusionist had just killed. You have the gold to buy this item.
*just asking for an honest opinion as to what action you will take in game* |

I picked buy it and keep it myself with three assumptions 1 - this paladin is my new main, 2 - I plan to try to level quickly and get in the fight, 3 - I don’t plan on joining knights.
If the knight had a good chance of killing the ill back then no matter my circumstances above, I’d probably buy and give back to the knight.
That being said, I never have a huge pile of expendable gold. Idk how everybody’s bank is overflowing - especially at level 15 😳 |

Do nothing. I don't think pallies should wear tight-fitting pants. |

I agree with vhae because 1 it isn't heavy armor so you are taking a hit to AC and set parry which I think chest and legs give the biggest bonus correct me if jm wrong. 2 it kinda flows into the thought that would you ask a evil to kill a light walker npc cause you couldn't request his gear??? Nahhh. I don't buy from auction unless 1 its unique or part of my set and I need it. If you kill me take my shit and auction it I most likely wont buy it back. I however dislike the new 5x auction rule on expired items 2x maybe but someone is gonna start saving things in auction at 100k and expire them so nobody can get them. |

You are saying that AC improves potency of set parry? that's news to me.
Anyway, I don't see how this is in any relation to asking an evil to kill a lightwalker NPC but yeah, it's fine. It feels good to wear something light at the waist down sometimes, yeah? |

I'm with Kalist on this one. Wtf am I doing wrong that I never have any gold?
I don't think it counts as trying to kill a lightwalker though, that's a huge stretch. If something is on auction it's on auction, it's not really your responsibility to research where it came from.
I mean if someone kills me and auctions my stuff I'm basically never ever going to buy it, but that's just out of spite to the ass who's trying to profit off my stuff he took even though he didn't even need it.
I used to wait for it to expire and then buy it at 2x gold, it was more money but then no one profited off it, so it was worth. But 5x is nuts. No one can afford that. |

I think this question entirely depends on the roleplay of the character involved. How does he/she think? What do they prioritize? |

The way certain peoples gold is overflowing is from running scripts all day that grind areas. They are actually at the keyboard all day (pandemic). Somebody suggested make the bank scale with level. |

Or make bank fees scale with amount of gold deposited? 5% on first 50k then go up from there? 🤷🏼♂️ |

@kalist - most banks offer lower fees if you have larger amounts on deposit, since you're allowing the bank to make more money off your money. Just saying.
This is completely deviating from the OP's question, but are we more concerned about shrinking the economy, or are more people curious about how to make money and don't know how? Capitalism is great, baby. |

Sign me up for the make money course! Only way I have been making money is on the way leveling to 50 and looting the odd corpse. |

Almost anytime I can log in and make 30-50k in under a half hour kill red dragon sell leather armor in ofcol and orrcish guerilla for bear cloaks sell them at mundo and leather shop move to timaran rinse repeat till they are all empty. Also at least I'm not the only one who hates this 5x for dead auction 2x makes sense 5x is just retarded |
