FIX the AUCTION HOUSE!!!!

[theflo84]

There needs to be lets say 3 hours or more where you cannot Change your Price. This will help a little bit i think.

you want SE to fix players? lol

I don't like the MB aspect of mmorpg, i dont care to make top profit as long as i get basic gil to take care of repairs and save up a bit, what I care about mostly is inventory space, and to get free spaces asap is to undercut. If you get undercut too much maybe you're asking for too high price? and if you dont then maybe you need patience to wait for it to sell.

everything is a yard sale, theres no actual economy.
so cheapest wins 100% of the time.
theres nothing that can make your goods stand out everything is the same and abundant.

Oh no I want the market board to revolve around me, to hell with everyone else trying to sell things, only I matter, how dare they sell things lower than me.
-OP.

Is what I get from this thread.

huh? why would i talk about TESO here??? and yes im serious

TESO has no Auction House of any kind lmao. People have to personally sell items on their own to make any money.

Don't jump on me for mentioning XI, but...

Well, XI.

The auction house in XI severely discouraged undercutting. You could only see the sale history, not the actual price because of silent bidding. You would make bids til you got it. Sure, someone could still undercut by thousands, but chances are the buyer didn't want to waste time playing a guessing game and the undercutter would just get the average value when purchased.

The buyer would just check the sale history and bid slightly below it, whatever deal they think they can get. More often than not, they would be lazy and just bid the sale history.

It was ingenious.

Supply and demand, look it up.
