Transfer gold between Horde/Alliance without the 15% cut

let say you have one horde account and one alliance account

the Neutral AH is the only way to transfer money between them and the 15% cut is annoying


now when you set the item price to 28634g

the fees will only be 13s27c


why?

One of my friend familiar with programme explain to me by this:


(well I dont understand this shit too I just know it works and copy and paste it here)


the model answer should be: 28633g11s54c


because 286331154 * 15 = 4294967310


change it to hexadecimal: 10000000E

it become 9 digits, for a 32-bit system the 9digit will overflow


and the fees will be 0 T 14/100 = 0


and in the 5%AH you set the price 85899g34s60c will have the same effect


so when you set the price to 28634g in a neutral AH the fees should be 4295g10s

but because the limit of the fees is 4294g96s72.96c, the fees will be overflow and become 13s27c


the exploits is quite useless if you dont have a horde and alliance account


but the "overflow concept" maybe useful in another way so I would like to share it out
