I know it's a silly wish, but I do wish that people were more... educated (I think that is the right word?) when it comes to undercutting. I really think some people don't understand fully how things like the economy work in this game, and as delicate as it is, I think silly people are more detrimental to the economy than gilsellers.
They're always one winner and one loser. In that case, if someone undercut you, the buyer will be happy while you'll be QQ'ing. You gotta look at this from a different angle.
Let's say I have 400K on me. I wanna buy 1 khroma ore. "Average" price is 300K.
Case 1 : Undercut : Some random dude sells his for 150K. Well I buy it. I have 250K left, which can be used to buy something else.
Case 2 : Normal : I buy my ore 300K. 100K left on me, not enough to buy anything else.
Case 1 = I'll please the seller of that undercuted ore (well he got his 150K) and i'll please another seller because I could spend my 250K on something else (w/e it is).
Case 2 = One seller will get 300K, period.
You see where this is going ?
Economy act just like a balance, someone undercutting price cannot "kills" the economy since at some point all money invested through AH will return back into the economy. People have a hard time understanding that.
What's kill the economy is removing or adding currency (or items) into the market. Stop looking at the problem only from your seller point of view.
hehe your my hero QFT^
The AH is working as intended your just got boned on a sell but the buyers are happy
