GNG's in Auction...

I'm wondering why all the GNG's that have been sold in Auction in the past week or 2 has been from people that are level 7 and under o.o Does anyone else find this suspicious? There is a GNG for sale literally every single day and sometimes more than one is being sold. All the people are under level 7. I don't get it =/

  • I know certain players have managed to hoard several of the rare (so called lol) items! Could be alts that were never used.  Mind you, I did meet a low level player (level 9) weeks ago who had the gng and played it to me.  I asked how he got it and he said he played with his friends pickle.  Apparently she had never gotten the gng from it herself and rarely plays.

  • I was just wondering if maybe it was some sort of hack or something else fishy going on because I just don't see THAT many Beta members coming back this week and last week just to sell their GNG's. I could be wrong. It could be nothing, but it's raised a red flag for me. Seems really odd =/ Donno. Thanks for replying Casarat <3 and G'morning to you! xD

  • Well, not saying this what is happening but :
    Beta player (or otherwise owner of pickle) sets up 3 alt accounts by invite.  Each new alt player then plays with pickle until GNG gained.  Sells 3 GNGs (what are they going for now?  500k?).  Each new alt then uses invites to create 3 new alts (sells 9 GNGs) ... and so on.  This surge in GNGs could simply be just one player exploiting this loophole to the max ... 500k per alt for a few hours simple effort.
    Not my idea of fun, but something to do I suppose :-/

    Edited to add : btw the idea that it's only one GNG per pickle is either urban myth or it's buggy.  I have known 2 players who have gained a second GNG from their own pickles, and many players who bought/borrowed a pickle that had already produced one GNG which then produced another for them.

  • I borrowed a players pickle for 3 days and no gng unfortunately, but if the alts were created early enough they would have had pickle giving gng's of their own : )

    Begs the question of why are pickles so damned expensive now.  It was lovely of the glitch to let me play with it but blimey, I was bored with the thing after the first hour and once it's given out the gng the only value to me would be novelty.  I wouldn't pay more than 400k for one now, purely for the reason that it's the GNG that makes it so valuable.  That's just my own personal take and view on it.  I realise other players will happily pay more to just have a the pickle alone.

  • very interesting question -...
    still no GNG from my pickle- but as "not-the -original owner" (i won mine in a contest) I have no idea if it has given a GNG before me or not.
    I hope if TS does anything -that it wont change my chances of getting a GNG from my pickle!
    I'd be a sad sad panda then .

  • Does it really matter either way?  At least right now there is NOTHING to do with money once you get to the higher levels other than throw rocking purp parties or buying cubis like a crack fiend.  Also,  if I were going to hack the system Id go for something more rare than GNG.  BTW,  if any hackers with 25 bags of SB-1s or T-1s are looking to sell feel free to look me up ;)

  • Does what really matter? Are you responding to the op or to me buying another GNG...I love that tune 'to infinity and beyonddddd!!'  Parties bore me to tears and the lag most times is unbearable.  You can only jump up a rainbow a few times before the fun wears off. 

    Just re-read your post and of course hacking matters, alt account are blah (zzzaaayyy), everyone's got them.  That does explain the multitude held by some users and of course those purchased the old fashioned way, by easy earned cash : )

  • Time to get back into the habit of playing with my pickle. (that sounds worse than it is)

  • Hmmmm just sounds like possible multi abuse. If the Pickle really can generate a new GNG for each person then somebody with a pickle is just making insane numbers of multis in order to farm the GNGs and sell them. Then they dump all the currants back into their main account.

  • Bear in mind as well that a number of people who never really played in beta but did set up accounts have been coming back to the game. It could be that Senor FP and GNG don't have the same sentimental value to them, and it's an easy way to make some quick currants. I agree that some of the GNGs may be from alts, and it could be that existing pickles are giving off more blocks, but having met at least 3 "new" players in the past while who had beta accounts but haven't really played before, I can't help but wonder if this may also be a source.

  • Voluptua may be right but I would expect to see a bunch of pickles getting dumped into the auctions as well and there aren't. It's just GNGs in numbers I have never seen before.

  • Why would anyone want a GNG anyway? I know the song is good, but you can hear that on Glitc Strategy wiki. www.glitch-strategy.com/wik...
