Help me understand please

[Krausus]

You think thats bad? I want to know what rock some people lve under especially since I know people and see people buy copper ores for 200-300 gil a pop when you can buy them from the npc for 67. Either these people are extremely stupid, or super lazy. >.> Fact is the majority of the player base does crazy things we can never explain o.o its like trying to explain why cats meow. I have stopped trying to understand people, it just gives me a headache.

yeah lol I see this all the time, sad part is it stops HQ ores from showing on the list which sell rather well

Also, it's called undercutting.

this is one of the best things ive ever seen

Looking up the other undercut topic, it looks like said "herp derps" undercut because they want to and enjoy screwing over other players purposefully. There's no purpose for it especially when you sell something you can make a profit on of say 300k, then suddenly "herp derp appears" and undercuts to 15k because "I want to move it faster" and "I want to run others out of business."

It's because they are borderline retarded and if they have to wait an extra 2 hours for their stack to sell then it's /wrist time. Like someone said, the idiots are only hurting themselves.

Here, I have the perfect example:



There's really no explaining this lol.

Funny part is they undercut so bad they could make more selling to a dam npc -.- that what i hate most about dumb people.

Possible they're not calling their retainer from the market wards and/or don't have time to go to the search counter and look up prices, but need the inventory space so want to shift the items at more than they NPC for. Or they want to make the items available to the playerbase at whatever low price rather than 'lose' them to an NPC.

There will always be times where players sell for less than the NPC. Either because they want to provide a boost for their fellow players or they cba to go check vendor selling prices or look online.

Nothing brings more joy to my gaming other than those guys. they let me make so much money by simply just idling in market and buying the cheap stuff and reselling. 2-3hrs a day can easily nett you 500-750k+ on a good day. and as i always say; If you cant make money in this game, You cant make money anywhere. few days back a guy was selling 10stacks of Kidney for 350 a piece.. imagine how much i made of that? lol. and u dont need a big capital to invest. only doin the storyline will give u so much to money to play with.
