Idea against Undercutting at the Marketboard (The next.. )

[Sibyll]

theres tons of reasons people undercut

1, mayb they wanna sell somethin fast
2. need fast money
3. mayb they think the prices are unreasonable so they sell for what they think is decent price

afterall its up to the seller to decide what he wants to sell for not just look at the marketboard n think well every1 is sellin for that price so i should aswell

The first two you listed are the same reason worded differently.

I agree that the seller picks the price. However, undercutting for 1 gil, which I'm assuming is what most complaints are about, serves no purpose other than putting you item at the top of the list. It's a flaw in the design of MMO market boards because it encourages people that market board camp and just continue refreshing their items to be the top. They may as well just give the retainer an option to repost your wares down to a fixed minimum value. I mean that is effectively what MB campers are doing.

Undercutting is fine if to drives prices toward equilibrium, but when people are undercutting by 1 gil it's doing this in the slowest most tedious way possible.
