Dear SE, please apply a sales tax to adjusting prices in markets

[Ramath]

Dear SE,

yes please. It would save most of your customers a lot of nerves, and thus probably help strengthening your subscription base as well, if the handling of the market and economy would be a bit more less alienating to serious players.

Please help by getting rid of 1 gil undercutting (and most likely also some RMT-driven activites) by applying the 5% market tax not just to initially listing an item, but also to adjusting the prices of already listed items.

Wow... it never ceases to amaze me....

Get this through your head: Undercutting is going to happen, regardless of by how much. Undercutting puts them at the top of the list. The only difference between 1gil undercuts and 905498432754392875432958743985g undercuts, is that the 1g slows down the value depreciation.

If someone undercut you by 500g, or by 1g, they still undercut you. They still put their goods in line above yours. No difference. Only difference, is that the 500g undercut is now making your goods worth less.

You should be happy that people are undercutting you by 1g, and not 40-50%.
