I wouldn't be bothered by undercutting as much if there weren't bots to ensure people's prices are always the lowest on the market whether you're undercutting them at 3 AM in the morning or 3 PM in the afternoon.

If you want to fix FFXIV's marketboard you first have to fix the fact that gil is essentially worthless

Gil is one of those things where it feels completely worthless until you have none.

I know from experience. When some idiot blows all his gil on materia for an overmeld and then can't teleport anywhere, it turns out that I'm the idiot in question.

Beware the pain of being broke.

The problem here is that OSRS has the absolute worst abuse as far as markets go.

The unfortunate truth is that gil will never be useful for anything other then glams/housing because the game is designed in a way for you to get your armor yourself. It's only when you want to decorate a house, or look pretty that gil becomes something needed.

WoW doesnt have bots spamming gold selling 24/7.

They won tho.

If whatever WoW is up to somehow arrives here, and results in a game-sourced attempt to manipulate pricing in a free market MB, it must be strongly resisted and/or blocked before it is ever born. I've been in the free market for 40-odd years outside the game - and one thing I've learned, in a free market you live and die by your pricing and service, and if you die, you did it... no one else. I will not have anyone telling me how to sell my stuff, ever. The day that happens is the day I log out, for good.

Either you see how many items are already waiting to be sold, or the taxes the game offer will enable you to estimate that amount. In both cases, if you have a thousand items in waiting, paying a 5% tax can still earn you money quicker than waiting for a thousand sells. Besides, once you've undercut the first time and paid full taxes, you'll pay reduced taxes from other items you put at that new price, right ? And they'll all sell before the thousand items in waiting.

People don't undercut with a single item, they'll sell loads of them to make the price drop for a decent time.

I've been an unrepentant jackass on this board, recently. But I really have to ask, why did you think to make this thread? What bearing does it have? Are you just here to talk about OSRS?
