Being able to undercut and lower prices is literally part of player driven economies and usually what keeps them healthy. If you don’t like those prices, buy them up and resell them higher for a profit if you can.
demand is still there and even increasing
then the 20% discount clears quickly and the overall equilibrium price isn’t impacted.
Fully agree. Either more players or smaller map.
There are too many settlements, too many trade posts. Most of them are dead.
On our 1k pop server owning companies aren’t paying the uphold tax for settlements, because apart from 3-4 settlements they are all running at a loss.
This post is like saying “everyone be nice to everyone” like yeah ideally that would be nice but do you think this post will change even 1% of players on undercutting? The 4 people that liked this post probably will undercut today, tomorrow and the next. It’s how it works.
One thing to keep in mind is that the market is finite in the sense that there is no need to renew any final products (except ammo). That’s a major difference with real world consumer economy.
For example, let’s say you are level 60 and you already got the best level 60 helmet that suits your needs (armor stats, perks, etc.). You just need repair parts and some gold to maintain it. It will never break. You will never need to buy another one. Therefore the only thing stimulating the supply side is players reaching level 60 and having the same needs. And with time, the number of players reaching level 60 will slow down.
For that reason only, supply will tend to exceed demand and prices will tend to go down.

Are you trying to regulate the market?
Imo,
On a high demand thing, someone sell 1k thing at 100g,
five minutes later another sell same amount of thing and undercut by 0.01 and another one do same and so on.
Finally no one sell, and price juste go down…
If there is high demand and sell, peoples anyway going to buy if they need,
you juste had to wait 1 or 2 day for your order to sell.
Peoples seem undercutting juste because want their money fast, rather the reverse is happening imo.
And when that happens they will raise the cap to 65 and put the wheels in motion again.
That’s true, but that doesn’t sound like an efficient economy.
I agree. But it’s the only way I can see this even remotely working. Driving up the gear/level caps will create a continuous demand for resources. I guess the idea being; highlevels will focus on getting their new gear together - low levels can make a buck by farming T1s and T2s.
Shrug.
Nah, let people keep undercutting everything, I’m saving my money till endgame BiS stuff is available for 10 cents.
I don’t understand peoples problems gold.
Example: If you have a spear of the soldier and it has +20 Dexterity, so you think ooh! Might be able to sell this, so you go to the market and see a bunch of spears of the soldier all on the market for 4-5g check the stats. Chances are all those spears are trash and it’s yours that will sell for 100g+
As for crafting items, learn the market. I made thousands making lumber and charcoal yet gold is worthless. I have a shed that is just full of gold bars, it’s got more than the federal reserve. I have no doubt that in a few weeks they will be worth much more. Which is why I dumped them in an unused shed rather than sell them for pennies.
Most of my money has come from weapons/armour, Lumber, Charcoal, bags, vegetables, and crafting food.
I wound be so interested to hear how to make money from crafting weapons/armor.
I mean it’s an IRL tactic that works in-game, and with no in-game vendors to sell too, people gotta try and make money anyway they can, such is life, such is life in Aeternum
Stop overpricing your junk.
The trading post items needs a minimum price of at least 1-3g. This will help keep the gold flowing and the economy thriving.
Minimum 1g-3g bids 2021 ! no more 1c ore or anything! this will hep with repairs and daily things and make things seem more meaningful.
Or it will destroy everything. Lets find out!
I undercut by great margins as long as I’m making a profit. There is nothing worse than losing out on gold because your items didn’t sold and you still had to pay the listing fee.
Yeah. Often Charcoal is more expensive then 2x Green Wood! People are lazy, just throw stuff at them and take their money
If prices are to low you buy them and sell them at the right price.
if you can’t really do that it means the prices are correct for the demand.
I earned my undercutters badge 13 years ago using the Galactic Auction house. Been undercutting ever since.
