Undercut Hell

Im glad im not the only one that agrees on this a Blind Auction must be implemented in order for this game to survive. As for you FANBOY's out there im glad half of u were not in Alpha or beta or this game would be even more screwed up.

So basically, because you cannot cope with the current system you want it scrapped to more favour you. Righto.

As with any player based economy, making currency is fairly easy. As long as you've put the effort in to learn what the current demands are and current going rate of items and then plan for those items.

There will always be fluctuations in price. There will always be people selling at silly prices for quick gil. You just need adapt your prices or move away from that item until it stabilises. Or take a gamble and try take advantage of those situations for greater profit.

No that's not what I said ,I am talking about a system that would benifit everyone in the game from,crafters,to gathers etc and that will benefit the economy as a whole don't twist my words around.

As long as you put in the effort to learn what is in demand then crafters and gatherers benefit from the current system just fine.

Lol That's what the price for this one item I was trying to sell looks like. 60k all week, doing well so I decide "I'm going to make a few and make some gil" well it eventually dropped to 40k, so I put it for 39,999, someone does 38k, then some idiot decides to be "smart" and put it for 7k, then 7 other people drop it down to 2k -.-

A good advise for you - if you really wanna talk about fairness and teamplay - *match* the price and do not undercut even for 1 gil. As any undercut even the smallest one may lead to price war, those often become quite brutal.

I wish those idiots would realize, dropping it that much might sell theirs faster, but overall it's just screwing everyone else out of time/gil.

You just have a poor experience at such things.
Other day I simply killed the guy who wanted to sell a bit faster by undercutting me by a little and dropped prices by half, and now I have over half of the market at price just 30% lower than before price war started. It still huge profits for me at this price, especially as I captured more marketshare than I had before.

you're in such a rush to sell something and don't give a crap about others, which you know, you should, considering it's a mmo, you know multiplayer.

MB is competitive multiplayer, not cooperative one. If I can force you out of business and get all marketshare for myself I will do it in a blink of an eye. I will raise prices of course after I achieve such result to a "reasonable" level.
