And several months later, my server's Water Cluster market has fallen back into its original pricing from when I started. The only time your item gets undercut severely to the point it will never sell is when the demand drops to "unneeded." The Grade 1 Glamour Prism Market has currently dropped as most people have already glamoured the items they wish to glamour and/or crafters have caught eye on a currently "active" market. Eventually, the market will bounce back up to its static pricing unless new crafters entering the market stay in the market or a demand increases.

There is nothing wrong with the marketboard currently. It's just people want unreasonable things at unreasonable times. You need to understand supply, demand and trends when you want to deal with market boards. This is why those ahead of the game in the crafting department yield more gil per patch day vs. those who start entering the market afterwards because the demand was fulfilled before late-comers

Are you guys blind?? the market system in this game sux, and before u say oh stop changing the price i dont change my prince i leave it until it sell but is so stupid that people that have alot more time to gather items will have their items sell faster than the people that put it their and waiting to sell.....

...what?

like, a spelling and grammar check would be amazing. I had to read your post almost 10 times to get even a general idea of what you were saying, and, based on what I think you said, I might be reading this wrong.

you are complaining because people who gather more, and price more competitively are selling before you, who priced and left it afk, are? its a market, not a "gimme gil free" object. you have to play to get paid.

Exactly. I am new to the Market Board system and I have no issues selling anything.
I remember back when Everquest first started we had to sit in the tunnel and /shout for hours to get something bought/sold. Then, when it seemed a deal may go through, you ran a huge risk of someone trying to steal your stuff lol
Modern auction architecture is heaven compared to that. . . although the Tunnel did have a great social aspect.
