Idea against Undercutting at the Marketboard (The next.. )

[Nicobo]

That's the idea would prevent massive deflation of items

IMO price dropping is good as it prevents GIL deflation.

BTW, I think the auction idea will kill many players on really hot item like DET/CRI materia4,
many players need to camp the MB and test the price for whole day...

I have played other MMORPGS (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name them, so I won't) with an exchange system similar to Market Boards - but the prices are calculated by supply and demand. Say there are 10 buckets, and 1 milion people want a bucket - the price shoots up. Undercutting will still occur, but prices remain steady.

You are right it does prevent gill deflation to a extent but there needs to be a balance with inflation and deflation,in this game there is one its just massive deflation.

You think it's good design to require people to market board camp all day?

I think it is a bad design therefore I object auction house like FF11 (bid item)
I support open price, click to buy.

Nevermind I didn't understand what your post was saying originally. Yes, I agree that would be stupid.

In FFXIV sellers decrease their item in 1 gil increments.
In FFXI buyers increased their offer by 1 gil increments.

A better solution to 1 gil undercutting would be to make crafted items be desirable for more than just glamours. Very few people go for crafted gear on my server.
