Alledged price increase

It's been a while since my last post, and i've been out of the state for 2 days before i came back here and am able to be online. One of the things i was welcomed with was people asking will there be a price increase inside the free market, which might effect the whole of maplestorySEA. So, many people are starting to worry and started buying items they don't need inside the free market. Which is probably what traders do considering they buy cheap and sell high. Probably the cause of the price increases inside the free markets would be advertisers. Saying something like "Buying Ilbi 12mil" and when someone trades them and shows the Ilbi, they cancel the trade and continue saying that they are buying stuff. This tactic would make other people sell and buy at a price of 12million mesos. But as far as i know, only a handful of items inside the free market have had their prices increased. Which would include spear for attack scrolls T_T. But people who are buying now are too late. The prices have started increasing, even before word got out. So no one had time to buy anything before prices started. This is actually what a lot of people have done, but never had the guts to try it out. Fearing community backlash, many people have kept this intention on hold. But only one person has tried and succeeded in making the prices inside the free market increase. I applaud what that person has done and at the same time, i believe that person deserves a middle finger :D . Lol joking. These kind of things can get you Free for all-ed in maple.
