You realise that, if everything was 50% cheaper, everyone would make 50% less profit selling, but would save 50% everytime they buy something. Lowering the market prices ain't that bad, since the cash you make by clearing a run is getting really low vs the item's prices. Meaning you can't possibly "make" gold by running the battles and doing bonus missions because items on market/forum are way too expensive.
And sometimes, "your" price doesn't mean it's the one it's worth. I undercut a lot because items will sell faster. If I cut the price a bit, it's just gonna sell faster, because someone might need something and doesn't want to buy for 80k, but I undercut to 70k and now he's gonna buy.
Sometimes if you don't undercut, you end up not selling, wasting market fees. You end up needing to put it up again, wasting another market fee and in the end, you make less profit than if you would have undercut the first time.
In the end, if the market prices get lower, you make less profit but you need less gold too. It's all the same.
