I hadn't been using this market for a while but recently started again after Dream had their "odd" week.
So I try to make an order with a vendor I've dealt with across markets. I FE to save shipping costs and tried to do so on AB. Except now that option appears nowhere and the vendor themselves has posted about escrow not clearing on the site.
Today I tried to log in and I'm getting to the login page and every single attempt ends up with a page saying "you're flooding, please wait 10 seconds, this is strike #x" No matter how long I wait between attempts, the strike count keeps increasing.
I've tried the mirrors with the same results. Now I can't even access the site to see if I can even release escrow or not.
It should have auto canceled by now but apparently hasn't according to the vendor.
EDIT FOR THE DUMB AND TOO LAZY TO READ: I wasn't saying it was an exit scam. I was mocking all the posts we see "X market is exiting scamming now!!!!omgz!!!" while stating I was experiencing behavior that was sketching me out.
Edit:And now the mods predictably flare this as fud even though I stated I wasn't saying AB was exiting. You want evidence where vendors are going on vacation because they can't get their escrow to clear? Would it even matter to the mods here since there's been bias for a while now? Astrid was a fucking berk but at least he wasn't doing the work of public relations for markets.
Edit yet Again : Thank you to the mod that actually re flared this correctly
