How is the Market on your NA server doing?

Would be better if severe undercutting wasn't so rampant. Seems like I can't list an item anymore without the price crashing 15 minutes later.

Ever consider that maybe other people value an item different than you?

Ever consider that maybe other people just want to keep themselves at the top of the list; and they don't care about profit, they just want to sell fast?

Yes, and they are willing to sell it for that price in order to do so.

That is not the point.
The point is that they are playing dirty, cause they are losing money to sell fast while stoping the sales of everyone else, and thats the doom of the free market system.

Even tough you can flip the market, in this game that wont do, cause in 5 min someone will be undercutting again...

This game economy needs a controled market, it cant be that everyday each hour of farming is worth less and less.

There has not been a controlled market in any MMO since the dawn of MMOs because their has never been an MMO that has RATIONED out everything in the game to every single player or controlled the number of each type of class created and their professions. No one wants to play a game where the instant you join you must be this class and this profession or the market of this game will be out of sync. This is the simplified reply to the community members who seem to think a MMO can somehow have controlled markets or even a small degree of it. Even if you ration all the items and allowed everyone to choose what they wanted to be, the varying number of classes and professions will still cause the RATIONED number of items to vary in price. This occurs vice-versa if classes or professions were controlled as well. This is all caused by supply and demand.

This has been discussed to the ground since the dawn of MMOs. If you have played MMOs long enough, you will know this very well.

They aren't playing dirty. For some reason your expectations of price aren't justified by the market. You are the one out of synch. Others are willing to satisfy the market at a lower price point. I'm not sure how your entitlement attitude somehow invalidates the practical function of the market.

To be fair, while I understand a persons need to undercut a certain item in order to have their item appear first on their list before other people. But when an item goes from 4k to about 1.5k because people are constantly undercutting, I think there might be a small problem.
