Undercutting by 1 gil?

[Masekase_Hurricane]

What is going on in the heads of all these idiots who put stuff on MB for LESS THAN A VENDOR WOULD HAVE PAID THEM!

I do this with craft mats as it helps other crafters out. Npcing the item just removes it from the game and helps no one. Sometimes it's not about the gil.

In other mmo, even if you don't mb pvp your stuffs will still eventually be sold in 2-3 days. Here, if you don't mb pvp hard your stuffs won't even move for a week. That's from Tonberry perspective. You undercut 1 gil, the next guy will undercut 10 gil. The ones below will be spite to undercut 50-100 gil just to be seen on the first. I don't blame others for undercutting as they wanted to get rid of their stuffs and make gil too. I can only blame se for this stupid design.

This is like Wendy's complaining that McDonald's is having a 1 dollar drink sale.

If someone attempts to do this I undercut in small bursts to get them to lower their prices to the point I can buy up their stock and relist it at a profit.

Honestly though, the MB needs a listing tax instead of selling tax.

[KatenKyokotsu]

No, the mb needs a total revamp.

What is stupid exactly on the design? in Wow I had to undercut as well and in wow the prices were even worse, with ppl selling the end product a lot cheaper than the price of the materials.

It lends itself to people aimlessly going back and forth undercutting each other by 1gil just to stay on top, there is no cost for doing so.

By charging a tax to list it, as opposed to sell, would vastly change the Market place

I really hope they doesn't do that, it would be annoying to start losing money without not being sure if you're going to sell that product or not. I hated that in wow.
And plus the "pvp" on market board is fun <3

It works just fine on Guild Wars 2, the only "pvp" comes from buy orders as people offer more and more for players wanting to insta sell their goods as opposed to listing for a price.

Listing for a price of course carrying the tax, which prevents endless warring going on there.

Default sort order by update_at timestamp. The item longest on the MB is always #1, if you update your price you go to the back of the line so you don't move up in the list. If there are already more items for sale then can be shown, doesn't matter what price you put it up for, nobody is going to see it until enough in front of sell. Sort options expanded to include HQ only, NQ only, Current City only.
