IMPORTANT MARKETS!! GMs

[Cattibrie]

So your ok with markets crashing or someone over saturating the market with product and undercutting to an extreme? I honestly don't care to be undercut by one Gil or even five Gil. That is a part of the business and competitiveness of the market. But what I don't like is when someone appears to be trying to destroy a healthy market on purpose. There is no reason to throw an item up for sale for a considerable price drop.

Ex: An item that has been selling decently and often with a price range of 1000-1500 Gil for NQ and 5000-10,000 Gil for HQ. Then someone lists NQ or HQ for just above NPC price. That is just stupid and blatantly trying to destroy that current market.

I don't care if someone lists twenty stacks within the current price range but to do this at NPC prices or just above is uncalled for. Markets are never stable but they are healthy until this happens, which if it continues will make it so that people slow down on listing items or stop all together due to low or no profitability.

When this happens, unless the supply volumes are ridiculously high, I would buy out that under cutter myself and re-list at my desired price.
The undercutter is happy with the quick sale, and I am still happy to sell to the masses at my price. I do not make as much on the re-sales but the profit is still really good most of the time, and I barely had to work it.
