Great article. You really know you're in it when you start getting flames. That said, I have often spoken with Jewelcrafters when I see them doing something that will hurt them and other Jewelcrafters. For example, especially early in an expansion, JC's should never prospect for any ore other than their own. Putting more gems on the market just lowers what you can make with your skill.

Sometimes the undercut pricing is so ridiculous ... but usually in that case I just buy out the offending player (5g a stack of Thorium always makes me laugh. I buy it and either prospect it for a 10x profit or put it back up on the AH if I'm being lazy for about 8x profit)

Off topic, but I wish I was on your server. Thorium only goes for 15g max on mine except on REALLY good days. Mithril is king of the vanilla hill on my server.

On-topic, I have never received hate mail for my auction house manipulation. But then again I don't go at it too harshly unless the only auctions up are the people who think everyone has to be stupid and list a stack of Runecloth for 60g.

Robin's response has to be the most helpful. It's the kind of thing I'd do if I were in the Auctioneer person's shoes.

I suck too bad at the auction house personally to be able to have these kinds of troubles, though. haha
