    Market Board Rage

    The following ensued after I undercut someone:

    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> hey idiot why would u put up something for 450k when i'm putting up something for 680k? at least undercut me by 1k
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> u can even have the item idc, but make more money than that

    I reported him at this point, and didn't intend to engage at all, but just kept getting more pissed off, so finally replied

    PISSY ME: your attitude sucks...you'll be lucky if i don't undercut everything you have just for being so rude

    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> well you're an idiot
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> and go ahead idc
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> learn to undercut, why would u sell for significantly less?

    PISSY ME: because i can

    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> well that's dumb
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> ur logic hurts my brain -_-

    PISSY ME: so are you for thinking that calling me an idiot would help your cause
    PISSY ME: your logic hurts me not at all because i don't give a sh*t for you

    I'm guessing that this is when he got a notice that he'd been reported

    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> wow buddy calm down there
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> dont need to get so serious
    ANGRY RUDE DUDE>> i'm sorry i had a bad night doing relic runs, that was rude of me
    *** End of chat history

    So, the biggest part of my game is crafting, i sell on the market board, obviously. Rarely do i undercut by large amounts, although i do on occasion. In this case, if iirc, the item had either been sitting for too long on the board, and was grossly inflated by ANGRY RUDE DUDE. Regardless of how or why i undercut him this was a terrible way to approach me about it.
    The apology at the end was nice, but honestly...if you MUST approach someone for undercutting you, remember that honey is sweeter than vinegar. I would have been happy to have a discussion about it with someone who wasn't so insulting.
    I like our free market system. I get undercut all the fricking time and i still like our free market system. Not once have i complained to my competitors about their undercutting me by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gil. In fact, i have recommended them for commissions who didn't want to pay my price.
    There is no need to be afraid of competition, and there is no excuse to be rude to people.
    Thanks for hearing my experience and the rant that followed.
