Overflowing stupidity

[ApolloGenX]

E.g. I used to check history for who had been buying tomb mats, out of curiosity. I've often seen new crafter's buy mats for a 18 mat item (560k in at the time + 15k for other mats). Craft the item that sold slowly for 900k (back then), then undercut their competition by 100k a time until around 500k.

Maybe they saw it listed at ridiculous prices and thought it was selling for that much... but once they actually made it realized that no one is buying it for those rip off prices because it is junk and lowered the price to the cheap level it should be at because those products are junk. At that point, they probably realized they overpaid for those tomb mats, because they are used to make junk and got out of the market.

Meanwhile, someone has stuff listed at 900k that is junk, but it might eventually sell to a gil buyer - if no other junk is listed at a better price.

Not surprisingly, at some point -said ripoff lister- comes to the board complaining that they got some kind of temporary ban because apparently they were involved with a transaction related to gil buyers....either that or is here whining that prices get slashed on this kind of junk and they aren't selling for those ripoff prices anymore.

Eventually, the tomb mats prices fall, the marginal upgrade junk prices fall... and everyone moves on except the people that were charging outrageous prices, who curse the "undercutters".

Anyone considering 2 star items to be "junk" 1-2 months ago, is really showing their knowledge.

Yes people should be suspended for selling items at the going rate on the in game market board, that makes a lot of sense.

There are always a lot of foolish people who believe "I can't afford that, so anyone who can must be a cheater!!"

Since when did gil-buyers Only buy expensive items anyway?

900k for a BiS ring (you may disagree, but many high end players believe they are BiS when melded) back when hardly anyone could make the and mats were over 30k each, is actually easily doable for "high end" players.

If a 50% mark up on items is a rip off, then you are likely being seriously ripped off for most things you buy irl xD

The only whining seems to be those calming prices were too high, it's all down to supply and demand etc, just because you could not afford something, does not make it overpriced.

The fact is there is a lot of stupidity on the mb, people selling at a loss will sell their items and prices will go up again, providing there is enough demand for the item.
