Prices too high for mats?

again, it doesnt take most
it only takes a few

if you got just a handful of people buying up apples at 5k a pop....then they are selling, and sellers will post it at those prices more
and the "majority" of people wanting apples wont see the price they want in the ward and will be forced to the vendor

If it's just a handful of people buying apples at 5k, then that is an anomaly which will be obvious once you look at the price history. Eventually you will have people buying and selling for the correct price, and that will take hold due to other people being informed by looking at the price history.

you underestime the power of the "i need that item now" crowd lol

if you want to do something, and you want it now, you dont wait for the price to be right, if your willing to pay the price, youll pay it

and what happens if the price history is overwhelmed by people buying items for 5k+ each? what then? It will then look like an anomoly that someone was selling them for lower.

Also it is SO easy to rig the price history of an item.

And what happens if the majority of players in this game aren't as stupid as you think they are and buy apples from the NPC for 1.3k until a buyer with some common sense lists them for 1k in the wards?

It's not easy to rig the price history if it keeps records as far back as a year and if it lists the names of the buyers and sellers of all transactions.

It's not easy to rig the price history in EVE.
