It should be fairly easy to track this kind of thing down no?
Setting up a monitor code statement like IF (Price_item / AveragePrice_item) > idk 100-200+? → Flag for review

Do we think this exists and they just haven’t dealt with it yet or no system exists

I am hoping for manipulation because that is one mistake that would hurt a lot.

Is it one sale at 4.5k or multiple?

As stated above, this is likely a fund transfer from one player to another, usually from one planet to anotherf

Every T10 let us “prestige” the armor by stacking another plate but starting over at T0.

People would get MUUUUUUU and also it would be fun to see everyone AFKing in trox spawns.

This can be market manipulation but I’ve also seen it done to transfer funds. It is much more realistic to profit from manipulating low transaction volume items like this than something like Oil or Sweat, even though the latter are typically the source of speculations about market manipulation since they affect and are thus likely to anger more players.

A single data point is likely a transfer of funds, while several transactions is more unclear. A strong piece of evidence is seeing the same avatar who sold the item on auction advertising to sell it in trade channels for an inflated price.
