Prices!

I couldn't agree with this post anymore. I don't post here too often, but I do "stalk" the forums lol.

i agree with this topic, but due to the increasing of botting ppl just stack up their goods in 100pcs for sell for x100 less than the market prices, and that's just stupid of them for getting ban and go around complains about detected or shjt what im doing is im just put mine on sell for a few pcs with the prices is suppose to be and the rest im just throws them to the shop or selling them slowly.

There are people that purposely list stuff for super low, like that asshole hamster guy who speaks in the 3rd person.

Gold farmers.

/thread.

^^; Sorry, but it's the truth.

Haha, gold farmers probably just NPC everything. They get their gold from the thousands of battles they complete on their multiple accounts. To waste time selling items on the Marketplace wouldn't be worth their time.
Besides, I think it's been confirmed that the idiots who undercut ores and shit by a ton are actually us, not gold farmers.

it's not greed or stupidity, it's free market
if we don't lower the price as the supply increase, there will only be lots of unsold items stuck in the marketplace, not utilized by any player

Nah, they're smarter than you think they are. I know for a fact that people that run gold sites, especially some people that run MapleStory ones have a lot of controls on the market set in place. It wouldn't be surprising if they had the same tactic for Vindictus.

fundamental problem with Vindictus lies in that gold doesn't do much for you. Apart from enhancement and dye, there isn't that much to drain gold into, unless you are very into getting the best gear possible, aka +15 weapons.

Most people realize that the system is rubbish and quit anyway though.

So if you set a price, there will always be people to beat you out. And if somehow every single person dealing with that item sells at the same price, eventually it'll keep dropping either due to ^- free market, or gold sellers beating out the price.

Protip: Law of supply and demand runs the marketplace, so undercutting isn't a major threat so much as other... things.

Actually supply and demand doesn't work, because some people just don't check market prices and just put it in at default price

is the market still full of idiots selling 100 stacks of superior iron ore?

yup nothing has change
