Undercutting by 1 gil?

[Clicked]

As an Omni-crafter, I love 1gil undercutters. They respect the economy. The people who annoy me are the ones undercutting by massive percentages, who are subsequently undercut themselves and thus bring a market from 500,000 down to 100,000.

To be fair it sounds like the market decided that 100,000 is an acceptable price for the good you are trying to sell. Maybe there are just too many omnicrafters?

you and the people who don't undercut by 1 gil are the problem with the MB, so you are annoyed that you get undercutted by 1 gil....so? would be worst if it was 10k, 100k, 1kk there's absolutely no point on undercutting by any larger amount unless you are massive jerk who enjoys screwing over other players (opportunities or climb to end game crafting) it makes the market board bearable and not get a surprice price drop by the next morning lower than what it either initial costed the mats or just a overall loss. 1k 100kk makes nodifferent the effect is the same to be at the top of the list to sell the item, 99% of the time the item that gets sold is the first one since it's the cheaper, the market resembles more a auction house who the best price wins. cutting 1 gil not only gives you more money also prevents crashing the price beyond redemption. get your stuff together jimmy.

Nope. I have checked the sale histories and items consistently sold at a high price before someone decided to tank the market. When enough people undercut this new price, it's not worth buying them out. Regardless, the whole point is to let the market recover. It benefits all crafters to undercut by very low amounts lest you make significantly less. What usually prompts enormous undercuts is impatience or someone arbitrarily deciding it "isn't fair" to sell things at such and such a price.

funny coincidence I just got someone who doesn't have a mother because it would be too good for him undercutting everyone in the market by over 500k item was selling for 1.4mil with everyone steadly undercutting 1-1k this person comes and puts a nice of 800k price drop other followed and now we had an item selling for 1.4mil selling for a mere 750k and dropping... damn those 1 gil undercutter are the WORST!

I'm having flashbacks to WoW and people being undercut by a single copper. Which is more annoying since money in wow is broken up by copper, silver and gold whereas we only have Gil here.

They should add a listing fee - would help cut down on people who camp their items and constantly adjust the pricing.

If item price is less than 50k,I undercut by 1 gil.
If -----------------between 50k - 1 M,then 10 gill.
If -------------------- 1 M or more,then 100 gill.
Also,I'll avoid putting my retainer as the same city as the lowest price.

The rest is up to buyer.

Undercutting by 1 or 10gil is actually the good way to do it. Doing this makes the price of that item to maintain more or less the same. What is annoying is when you have a difficult/rare item that every gatherer is respecting and keeping the price as it is and then one comes and undercuts it by 2/3 driving the other sellers starting to undercut by that price.
All depends if you look at it as a consumer or as a seller. As a consumer that is great, as a seller that is annoying.

Undercut will always happen, everywhere all the time...
