    Typical False Advertisement.

    I typically buy WoW gold but I use to for when it came to Runescape too before that EoC update. But no matter which game it is, there are people claiming in their post/title that they're selling the "cheapest" WoW or RS gold, yet, they aren't. This is typical advertising that you'd also see on TV such as those "Treasure Hunt" and other gold buying commercials. They claim "We pay the most!" Yet, if EVERY commercial claims that, then they all don't claim the most. I know this is kind of a worthless QQ post, but it's highly annoying to thing "Hey, maybe these people are actually going to be cheap considering they said they're the cheapest in their title!" Then I click on it, and they're one of the most expensive.. Like come on now. I guess my rant is over. This may have been mentioned before so sorry if this is just another post.

    Typical False Advertisement.

    Prices are always changing, and it's hard to keep up with title changes on the hundreds of threads in the market when it does change, so titles are never really 100% accurate most of the time. There's been much discussion on the matter, whether we should disallow prices or "cheapest gold" to be put in titles, or if we should allow users to edit their own titles instead of waiting for staff, but each solution has its problems. For the time being, the best system is our conventional one: if your prices change, you report your original post and ask a mod to change the title accordingly. If you're browsing, read threads carefully and don't judge the serve by it's title. That's the best we can do.

    I'm genuinely sorry there isn't a smoother method, but we just haven't discovered one yet that would work in tandem with how our market runs.
