Selling other people's instances.

Today I had an odd experience I haven’t had before and after asking around, no one really seemed to know about anything like this.

To describe what happened:

I duo’d a arah path 1 with someone, without anything being weird we got to the end and we set up so we could sell it, got fillers like any sane person would and gathered a few crystals. After we put up the lfg, we waited a little bit. Someone joined, entered the instance and then left the party almost right away without a word. Didn’t seem to weird so far. Shortly after that, another person does the same. Getting bored of waiting I decide to run around a bit and get some more crystals. Weirdly enough, I ran into one of the people that joined and left instantly, inside of the dungeon. They then dissappeared in thin air.

A bit suspicious of things, we keep waiting for buyers, we get one, notice that another lfg is selling for a lower price but we decided to wait more instead of lowering ours. Shortly after this, we suddenly see the two people that joined and left our party earlier walk up to the boss with some crystals, starting and finishing the boss. There wasn’t really anything we could do whilst this was happening.

After they killed the boss, I asked our buyer if he got any of the rewards (I already ran the path so didn’t know) and he did. Later, at the entrance of the instance we discovered another person that wasn’t in our party, after talking to him we found out that apparantly he was a buyer of the two people that invaded and finished our instance, he got none of the rewards.

I think that in the end there were 6 or more people in the instance at the same time, divided over 2 parties, which to me seems not really intended. Here’s a screenshot with their names partially blacked out, but you can see that they’re in our instance without being in the party: http://i.imgur.com/cDRlrBg.jpg

A little bit later, after having them in my friend list so I’d remember their names and looking a bit, they seemed to have done the same to someone else’s instance as well almost right after they did it to us. Both of the account had notable low AP as well.

I don’t sell dungeons often at all so it might just be me not being aware of anything like this, but if it’s really uncommon then I think more people should know about it. Obviously I also wrote to support about this.
