No, seriously. Most MMOs require that you pay a listing fee (usually some small percentage of the item's list price) in order to place it up on the market. Do this whenever an item is listed and whenever the item's price is changed and you'll see the rampant undercutting grind to a rapid halt. The markets will stabilize very quickly and people might actually be able to make a decent profit from gathering and crafting.
Isn't that what they are doing w/the tax on each item. Personally I just up my price by the amount of the tax, but still, the tax is still there & is not gained back. In order to avoid that tax you have to be in a market that is not charging it at that particular month & since you are only able to have two retainers, you might not have that advantage unless you dismiss a retainer from one market & go to another. I don't have that kind of time or patience so I just go with the tax.
