With the old and recent changes to the game, HQ materials and items have become a lot more popular. Not a day goes in which I curse the Market Wards for not being able to see the HQ versions of an item because the list is cut off at 20. That the new Item Search feature doesn't accept the "item+1" as an option, isn't helping either.
Please, for the love of Byregot, fix this dreadful situation :eek:
As someone who sells a lot of HQ Darksteel I find this especially irritating. A reliable window into a given market is something that sellers need to have in order to ensure a prompt sale. The fact that the market can become flooded with NQ ore makes it very difficult to both see what my competition is selling for and react accordingly, and ensure that may sale is being properly advertised to buyers.
Sometimes I feel that in order to ensure a prompt sale I need to purchase a pile of the NQ ore just to get the HQ ores to show up. My only consolation is that everyone else in the market is dealing with the same thing. The question of course then becomes "Who among the bunch of us is going to bite the bullet and buy up the NQ ores so that business may continue as usual?".
Pretty much this. It's very hard to sell +1 materials because of the 20 items cut off. There really needs to be an option for this.
The lack of +1 search feature hurts both buyers and sellers. For example, Darksteel Ore and Iron Ore for Flawless Obelisk Head.
Without the +1 search feature, both buyers and sellers can't sell the +1, which is needed (not strictly) to make the flawless Obelisk head. Because of the relic weapon, there is a massive surge of new sellers selling the said materials, effectively pushing all +1 way off the list.
I'm the one trying to buy all the Darksteel Ores +1. 4-5 times per day I have run through all the marketwards, on Monk in af with with Fists of Wind, just to see if any new HQ mats are up.
My feet hurt.
