To all you UNDERCUTTERS out there!

I think its good that some undercut it gives some of the new players a chance to get a high tier item.

Some can't afford some of the huge prices, this helps them a lot and some of the rich ones are mad cause they ain't getting the full monty.

Those same new players that wont be able to make gil, because someone went and undercut prices too far? How do you guys even think new players make their gil in the first place? xD They need to sell something too, lol.

Just because they're new and poor doesn't mean they have to be stupid when pricing. In fact, the new and poor should know exactly how much to price it for since they're the ones who know how much gil they had at that point in the game.

Generally, brand new players make money through questing. The Main Scenario quest, sidequests, levequests, etc.

I've seen level 15 stuff being sold for ridiculous prices, and they're certainly not using the MB to accumulate gil at that point, as it's not even unlocked yet.

The Market Board is not the primary source of gil in this game. In fact, it's not a source of gil at all. All it does is transfer around the gil that has already been made from quests, FATEs, dungeons, leves, etc. It's the rate at which those primary sources provide gil that determines how much is reasonably available at any given point. And low-level quests, leves, FATEs, etc, don't pay out as much as high-level ones.

Yes the MB is the medium where one accumulate gil, not generate it, but at the same time it is the best way to accumulate and be a a Rich merchant.

Too much self greed now days >.> hence why REAL nice people undercut

It makes financial sense to undercut things. You gain zero Gil if your item doesn't sell. What are you thinking sellers will do, set their price higher and wait in line for their item to sell? Most of the time the offers that are sitting on MB are sitting there *because* they are overpriced and nobody bought them. Undercutters aren't actually making an item cheaper, it's natural price correction until a price is reached at which the item will actually sell.

Welcome to the free market, where the person with the most discounted items win

I love price gougers. If there's multiple offers for whatever HQ I'm selling up for like 50k it makes mine at 38k look cheap so it's more likely to sell. In all reality I paid less than 2k for the mats (more like 1k if even that) so it's extreme mark-up but all that matters is buyer perception so yeah...
