As it stands, a group of traders has been attempting to deliberately manipulate the value of multiple items in STK. The most notable currently being Fae's Lament. This group has a private Discord server where they discuss things like which items they are going to raise next, and take polls with their members.
Here is a general list of things we have noticed after receiving the proofs:
- The group has discussions on which items they should work together to raise.
- The group organizes a mass amount of value requests for items in a short period of time.
- Blacklisted users have been creating alt accounts to make value requests.
- Creating fake conversations in Trade Chat to deceive other users into thinking Fae's Lament is receiving large overpays: “Say ‘trading Arach for FaeL’… ‘I will say DM’ “
- Organizing fake hype conversations in Trade Chat to get other people on board.
Because we heavily believe in accountability for manipulation of the game's economy, here is the list of all the users we found to be involved in this manipulation ring:

Also, anyone found harassing any of these users will be punished for it. This list is simply to provide users with information they may need when trading and knowing who they can trust.
As always, STKValues will not stand for manipulation of any kind. All proofs will be attached to this message as a thread for you to view yourselves. We believe that transparency is key for the list to succeed. It is also important that you know what is happening behind closed doors. IF you see manipulation, do not be afraid to report it. This way we can keep trade going smoothly.
