Undercutting... we all know it. Not sure if many of them are bots..
But it seems you can't place a bid without being outbid again just a few seconds or minutes later.

It takes away your possibility to get rewarded for your effort and yet some people seem to get rich while we can't... as if they have a bot or script to keep track of the prices and autoupdate them.

So my suggestion to deal with this issue is as follows:

- When you put an item on the market you can never bid lower then the average of all bids, meaning the system will auto suggest a price for you to ask "or" you can raise it.
- For each day your item sits on the market its price will be 1% lower so after 10 days people will get a 10% discount on your item however the seller will still get the full amount (game pays for the discount)
- Updating your price will reset the discount timer meaning people will yet again have to pay for the full 100% on day 1.
- After 99 days people will get a 99% discount on your item meaning it will always sell seeing as undercutters can't go under the average price which will always be higher then the discount given.

This way people that are patient will always see their items sell and undercutters will be able to be less agressive. This means that more people will get rich while not having to piss eachother off.
This potentially gives SE a chance to make gil more useable/valuable in game by presenting more options that may require it.

Obviously I'm not saying you should copy my idea entirely seeing as abusers will always find a way to abuse, but at least try to see the potential here.
There are clear methods to make undercutting feel unrewarding.
