Discussion Advertising Rules Question

[Pory]

I know that its against the rules to market yourself as a "top trader" if you are not. I know that it is against the rules to advertise a price you aren't actually willing to honor.

What are the rules when it comes to advertising account details.

If you claim the character is BIS, and it is absolutely not even close to BIS, is that something we care about? Is posting the gear enough to counteract the claim of BIS and just force the buyer to understand what they are purchasing?

Is this just something we don't care about and just allow the buyer and seller to deal with it during the negotiation process?

PS: I'm not talking about being 1 item off, or a side-grade away from what someone could reasonably consider BIS. I'm talking multiple items that aren't even remotely close to being considered BIS in the current era of the game.

One listing comes to mind straight away and there’s a reason it’s been on sale for over a month now

I don't know personally but totally seems like false advertisement and also just feels wrong? I'd vote against it being a thing immediately but unsure myself.

Yea, I mean I would imagine most people buying an account would do their homework. But there's always people who just don't know better. Who might see BIS and assume the listing is correct / truthful. I agree it does seem like false advertising. Would probably be hard to police, but in the specific case alluded to, it's fairly obvious this account wasn't even BIS in the former expansion, let alone the current.
