Easy way to stop all flippers, speculators and insider traders (like what happened to the crossing) make all tp purchases account bound = no more problems

That would be bad for the economy. Too much gold would be in-game, one of the largest gold sinks would be gone. Making money off the TP isn’t the problem, the people who think so are just mad about it. Flipping has benefited this game a ton. If all the gold stayed in the game you would be looking at precursors being 1000’s of gold a peice.

So add or increase another goldsink/cut gold supply…..

Adding more would be horrible, since over half of the game is practically goldsink supported with lottery.
When it comes to raising, then I guess raising TP tax fee would be okay, would take out or restrict some of those flippers at least.

Personally I hate flippers though, one guy I knew played one character to lvl 44 or 45, had saved up around 5g till then, flipped bit over week and had around 400g+.
Though I laughed my kitten off when he decided to quit GW2, because he calculated that if he had continued flipping he would have been rich enough to quit anyway after month or so and not having anything “interesting” to spend it (housing, mounts, anything OP gear etc). Thus decided to skip the game and not wasting month for average game.

the only thing I assume from your post is that you are jealous. And if you are why don’t you ask him flipping tips and do it yourself so you could make that 400 gold per week. Sorry, you don’t point out any good arguments why they are bad, only the sadness that you can’t do it. And again I repeat flippers are good and argumetns you can find above

Greetings,
There is a huge issue that is almost not being addressed by the community afaics
Flippers & Real Money Trading Outside the Gem-store

There’s a large amount of Players lurking in the shadows buying hordes of Gold From Websites/ Chinese Re-sellers and so on and that Effect the Gem Prices because less supply vs more demands and it Causes Anet to lose a fair good amount of money that can be used for Development and causes the player to get less for the time they’ve spent farming those gold and so on

2nd Issue at hand is Broker Flippers
They just flip the broker buying an item or a material or w/e for an Small “x” Amount of gold and sell it for higher basically earning money over time by almost doing nothing and it causes the prices to go higher and higher over time

i just wanted to point out these two issues because its effecting the game in a bad way
i don’t know much of solutions to the Flippers but the RMT can be avoided by setting an “xxxx” amount of gold to be mailed to anyone per month or per week and restrict it to friend-list "For an example a friend that have been in the friend list for an “xx” amount of time"
My dearest Respects!

And i disagree with you. What are the traders doing is good ( i dont know about the chinese guys and other stories behind them), and what is happening when they start flipping, the buy orders get higher and sell orders get lower as the market becomes more competitive, in short you get a better market which has lower sell orders until the profit for flipping becomes 0%. So flipping does not make the prices go higher, the things which influences it is supply/demand and gold influx into economy
