UNDERCUTTING....

[Themule]

We can give examples of how we all make money in the current economy until we are blue in the face. Thats not the point. Its not RMT that is threatening the economy, its regular people deciding to bot because they can't be bothered to actually play the game as intended and spend the hours actually leveling DoL and DoH. I'm not worried about people not being able to make money, I'm worried about people not playing the game anymore and discouraging new players from playing it as it was intended to be played.

Yeah but instead of undercutting if everyone kept the price around the same (like 1 gil under isn't gonna make or break the market thats fine) then everyone would be making good money and its all win win. The more people undercut the lower the price drops and faster...

but on my server I see people selling stuff for 200gil when everyone else has them up for 5k and last sale 5k. Those kinds do hurt themselves unless they enjoy having 200 gil fast instead of 5k >.>

I usually undercut the lowest item by 1 gil. Its a good way to get your item sold first without destroying the value of the product. The exception is when I know an item sells quick enough that I wont have to do that.

When I saw this.... I immediately thought this...

Its a free market. I always undercut by a lot because I want my stuff to sell faster.

My favorite responses are the people who say SE shouldn't allow undercutting

In XI, I crafted, gathered, and undercut.
In XIV I craft, gather, undercut, and will continue to do so, because I can. As said before my stuff moves and I get to list more stuff. Bottom line

undercutting can be fine......

The people who undercut sell faster, sell more, and can use that money to invest in whatever sooner. You can hang on to your stuff and sell it in two weeks for 10 mil. But I've sold twice as much as you for 8 mil per week; who's the sucker now?

You're still the sucker, because you could have gotten the same result by just selling it for 9.999.000

Besides you think you're the only one undercutting. You undercut to 8 mil, then someone else undercuts to 6 mil and then you get the guy who thinks prices are way too high and wants to be generous to the buyers: starts selling it for 2 mil

Ofcourse you still want to get rid of your items so you undercut that guy again and sell your items for 1.5 mil

and repeat.
