    That doesn't make any sense. Free markets are best. If a seller and buyer agree on a price, you shouldn't try to stop the transaction because the price doesn't benefit you personally.
    Its just a suggestion, SE doesnt have to have a 10% and 50% floor. But its a starting point to get a discussion going. If a buyer just ignorantly puts up items at extremely low prices then that ruins the economy. What they should do is look at the market board and compete with the other players, just don't drop the price to almost nothing. If someone is going to sell items for NPC value then go sell it to an NPC. The reason a buyer agrees to a sellers price this way is that they are taking advantage of ignorance.

    some ppl sell some items at or below vendor trash just to help out and not be these greedy money grubbing backstabbing players who would sell everything including their grandmother for the top value possible + 200% or sometimes too all they want is to level and make a 99 stack of something then just sell it quick to get rid of it. I do this a lot my self. has nothing to do with being competitive...Ill post huge amounts of low lvl mats that iv collected doing w/e for vendor price just to help ppl out. stop being greedy...

    wow seriously?? who says that the ppl trying to make some gil are "greedy money grubbing backstabbing players"? who says im being greedy? I spend alot of gil on the boards and in turn i hope to make a lot more, if i was greedy i wouldnt spend any money. FYI great MMO's have a good economy.

    most people your talking about post raw materials. You can post 123 star and materia most of all for huge amounts of gil plus crafting gear,gathering gear,crafted relic weapons.So yes complaining about unfair market prices on a mass surplus of items or someone just wanting to get rid of something for w/e reason is just greed.It's like you selling pepsi for a 1.50 then I still make profit selling it for 88 cents to make money.why should someone be forced to post an item at a set price if its theirs.May as well tell a person they're playing wrong and then tell them how to play their character.b/c hey every other person knows exactly whats best for that person to be doing.
