Market Prices (STOP UNDERCUTTING OBSENE AMOUNTS)

[LORD_Dreago]

This is not world of warcraft people if a item is on for 300Gil the typical undercut would be 299 not 50gil ..... There was cases in other mmos where the Gold selling company's would Push down the value or objects in the AH to gain a control on the market Don't encourage or support them. In this game Gathering and Crafting is a entire game experience lets not ruin it by crushing the market and value.

50 gil? come on over to balmung.. we undercut by the thousands over here.....

[HiirNoivl]

lol It's because people are not checking the history and they're not differentiating between NQ and HQ. Their ignorance is my bliss though.

[LORD_Dreago]

it gets old on our server and the games to new for this to already be going on.

Agree with this totally. I have 1 item I sell at the x999 value because there's a guy trying to tell 10 of the same item. Next I check he's undercut me by 1500, I'm like okaaay...

[Jess_Spark]

Because when you undercut by 1 gil 10 seconds later it's undercut again by 1 gil so you might as well just go down to where it will actually sell. Most of the stuff I sell on the Market is just excess stuff I got from my harvesting anyway.

If its such a massive undercut buy it out and resell it. The Market Game will be really volatile for a while so its risky, but if its an obvious massive undercut its probably worth it. These players aren't ruining the game. They are simply setting those of us up that are interested in playing the Market Game. Launches are always like this. Get the stuff thats going really low right now that you think will be going way up in price in the future. Or control an entire segment of the market if you know players will be using/needing those items while leveling to maximize profit.

I've actually seen a totally different problem, people selling borderline worthless refined materials for 10x what they're worth, selling things in stacks too big for people to buy, etc. etc.

Makes it easy to move my own wares whenever I feel like it at least.

If something is actually valuable and someone sells it for less than it's worth, it isnt up for long. Rates return to whatever the demand is, sometimes you catch a break, sometimes the only one available is pretty darn expensive, which reflects rarity or demand for said item (a piece of gear for example). It's interesting trying to find ways to make money off the tradeclass. I do think some of the quantities of craft related items being established in the marketplace is silly as well, however. Then again, it's an auction board, freedom is really what we have there. I don't see any real issues as of yet.

Yea, undercutting prices is the main reason that i really don't want to grind gathering anymore. Why would you want to grind to level 50 when you could only sell it for a thousand or two, then the next thing you know, the price drops more than half.
