Nope. At least on Mateus, every market is locked down by bots. Or should I say, one particular "baka" who is selling literally every piece of gear in the game, updated constantly to always be on top of listings. Yes thousands of listings. He's literally everywhere selling everything and trying to sell in ANY crafted market is a waste of time. Glad your server still has an MB where low level stuff sells. All it takes is one guy who wants to bot to ruin the entire server. We have another "signature" bot who purposefully crashes the current endgame market every time around by lowering prices 50-100k per undercut to ensure that endgame gear prices fall as fast and hard as possible to push legit players out quickly and efficiently. There are other botters but just these two cheaters alone have done more damage to Mateus than any other.

And honestly, to me, 500k per week is not making money. That's like, selling one Zonureskin map per day money. It's chump change. For low level players, sure 500k per week will get them slowly to whatever thing they're trying to buy, but for those of us who expect at the level of play we're at to be making that much per day, it's a waste of time. I didn't level up my crafters to 80 and fit them out with gear to be making the same money I can make selling my freebie treasure map each day. I am aware this is mostly me being used to the old levels of profit, but I don't consider anything less than a million per day to be worth my time, considering I used to make 15-20million per day.
