Tried to sell a BoneShaker to a Buddy.
Was sniped by a *censored* *censored* of *censored* who had even "sniper" in his Gamertag...
Srsl what are they doing with all that stuff? I play legit and have more money than I will ever need.
On top of that I can't get my painter/tuner rank past 5, my paintings/tunings are downloaded/liked but it doesn't seem to count...

My influence should rise for dowloads/likes but doesn't.

For most people the influence gains glitch at Level 4 and you no longer gain influence for downloads/likes/uses. The only way to gain influence if you are experiencing this is to share more content at 100 influence per share.

an AH update is rolling out that will bring common players abilities to list cars at higher prices closer to legendary based on historic average sales of cars. For example, the more cars a legendary tuner/painter sells at 20M the more the non-legendary player can post a car for, as it brings the average sale cost of that car up. So if people want to be able to sell cars at 20M legendary prices, they need to just sit on their exclusive cars until the legendary players have brought the market price up to 20M, then everyone will be able to post for 20M.

The one drawback.... player's with small bank accounts will then be locked out of the sniping market.... and exclusive cars that everyone can sell for 20M will only go to the "Haves" and the "Have nots" will be.... "Have Nots".... this will be interesting to see roll out and see how this impacts the market. Not to mention that non-legendary macro bots, will now have the ability to post their sniped cars for 20M a pop without legendary status once the market prices rise to max....

More details on the AH Update from Discord:



LOL... I foresee this system definitely getting manipulated.

Depending on how sensitive the algorithm is... this could have very bad effects on the AH economy..... A bunch of 10M CR cars are going to drop down big time too.

quite weird logic to me, offer and demand makes the price is rule to me, the less a car is available + the more there are searches for it, the higher should be the price period.

AUCTION HOUSE CHANGES

The maximum possible Auction House prices for many cars will now fluctuate based on sales, up to a maximum of 20.000.000 CR. The system will monitor which cars sell quickly, and allow their maximum price to rise over time. The maximum price for cars that do not sell quickly will fall over time, to find an equilibrium. Legendary Painters will not be affected by this system, and will be able to set prices as before. We will monitor the impact of this feature on car prices and continue to respond to it.

Oh, there's no doubt the exclusives will jump to 20M eventually, but every other car will drop. Legendary's and Bots can also intentionally inflate a 10k CR car all the way to 20M to turn it into a "CR Transfer" car. So PG will need to implement limits on cars that don't make any sense to be worth 20M and can be bought from the autoshow for 10k then sold to an ATM account for 20M on the AH to get accounts to 1B CR with ease. Hopefully, they already foresaw the possible exploits and put measures in to block them.
