    Players spamming Market Board with hundreds of the same item. Please change this.

    I have noticed items in the Market Board where a single player uses multiple retainers (and they are definitely the same person because the retainer names are similar) to spam an entire single result with over 100 iterations of the same item at 99 stacks at the same price.

    You cannot look at other people's listings on this item and are forced to buy this single player's item at their price point with their stack size or none at all on your server.

    You are also unable to post your own items at any price higher than theirs (in a smaller stack) because other players cannot see it.

    Why can I only see 100 hits on a single item? Why is there no option to go to the next page? This limitation is allowing people to abuse the system.

    Please add a page feature on individual items so that players can bypass Market Board spammers who are trying to force people to buy their listings only.

    I'm for people using the market board however they want. Both the buyers and sellers. As you said, the problem here is the 100 hit limit.

    We need QoL changes specifically in regards to pages and/or scrolling, if only simply an arbitrary limit removal and a scrollbar. But it would also be nice if we had a retainer blacklist for buying from the MB.

    You could just price lower than them, they'd soon get bored of having to update prices on 100 retainers.

    Or just sell something else?

    anyone who has that many items is running bots which also automatically lower market boaard item prices every 5 minutes or so.

    I have done this once or twice without botting.
    It's not something I could do for extended periods of time but a small monopoly here and there doesn't necessitate botting.

    Okay well I've done exactly this. It's not hard to do with 5 retainers going.

    I also do this from time-to-time, not saying that people do not bot, but it is not that uncommon of an occurence. Granted at times especially in NN people do complain and generally assume foul play which is just a general problem within the community.

    This is the best advice. When the listings for a specific item are saturated that heavily, whether by one player or multiple players, it's better to start selling something else.
