Please don't think I'm trying to say that one person should control the markets

    So, after a heated and angry me decided to report myself for extreme undercutting (90% undercuts for example, to try and lower prices) I was responded to with this.

    Greetings (name),

    Thank you for your call.

    We're deeply sorry that your game experience is disrupted by another player. Unfortunately, undercutting in the Market board is not a violation to our rules and policies, therefore we're afraid we won't be able to assist you in this case.

    We would be very grateful if you could submit any suggestions or comments on our official forums. Your feedback will then be forwarded to the appropriate department by our Community Representatives. We remind you however that name shaming is strictly against our forums guidelines, therefore we advise you to share your comments without referring to any specific player.

    Official forums:

    Although individual responses aren't sent, rest assured that all comments submitted are read and considered for future updates.

    Thank you for your understanding and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    Regards,

    So, currently it clearly isn't a violation. But do you think it should be a violation? Why do you think so?

    Personally, if it is deterimental to the experiences of other players as I have been told it is, I believe it should be. I do believe experiences which severely negative impact the experiences of others (as I believe severe undercutting is), should be punished. But what are your thoughts? Let's turn my heated and angry moment into a useful discussion.

    No no no... You have it all wrong... It isn't that it "currently" isn't a problem, it's that it IS NOT a problem. And why is that? Because it's part of the uncontrollable feature of an MMO. Undercutting is just how the game's economy works. And if you don't like it, then build your own market of people to trade stuff with. On the Balmung server, there are many people who offer to craft things for free if someone has the materials for it. And then you also have people that are willing to give things away to people for free as well. So tell me... should something that's uncontrollable and unmonitorable such as giving things freely to people also be a violation? Because technically... if company was able to give things away for free in the real world, then it would cause other companies that their competing to lose their consumers since everyone would flock to the free stuff causing the other companies to lose business
