Guild Wars 2

Now, i’m one of those that are not really happy with the current sittuation of the market, n’or do i despise it so bad. I mostly just dislike the huge price differences between mats of the same importance, ergo imbalance overall.

BUT, and a big BUT … In half the times the prices go up skyrocket, it’s because of random people messing up, (so i won’t say other bad words) not thinking a freaking second before placing an order.

So, if you want an item, and it’s current price is 50 silver, it’s current highest offer is 40 silver, and you want to place an offer for that item (especially in bulk), my friends… You DO NOT place an offer for 45-49 silver for the love of god. No, you outbid the last guy with 1 copper, keeping a balance in the economy. That way, the next one to outbid you won’t have to go upper and upper, rasing the price of the item in an exorbitant way. No, it will go up slightly, 1 copper at a time, untill a supplier comes in and restores it to the previous price.

So, what have we learned today? Stop kittening up the economy, and think twice before placing an offer that will cause imbalance. Just because you raise the offer in an absurd way, doesn’t mean you will get what you want. No, someone just as desperate or more will outbid you and so on, messing everything up.

Please keep this in mind if you want a stable economy. Thanks.

pretty sure that if i want something i’m going to pay whatever, i’m not going to sit at the ah putting in 1c bids above the next guy for the next hour when i want the item right now and can get it for the same price i’d have payed before but without the effort

pointless post and i can’t believe i wasted my time reading any of it let alone all of it

If someone will sell you the item, he’ll sell it when you outbid the last guy with either 1 copper or 1 gold. It’s the same thing. Just that when people like you, with no brains whatsoever regarding the consequences, place orders like that thinking it will help them somehow, they mess up the economy for the rest of the players.

You want to pay “whatever” because you feel like a rich egotistical guy? Buy it instantly my friend, don’t place offers.

how on earth does me paying whatever make me feel like a rick egotistical guy? if you were to see my name in the bidding screen that might be the case, alas it isn’t and i’m buying it for whatever i want because money is so easy to come by that if it means i get stuff done quicker i’m willing to spend a little more, you clearly don’t understand much about the trading post though

if you want to get all philosophical don’t try to preach on the forums to people that couldn’t give 2 kitten about something as petty as outbidding the next guy, it just makes you look like a whiny little kitten

Thank god for all the kittens. I didn’t flame you, n’or insult you, why are you so childish?

And again, you spoke without thinking even a bit…If you’re willing to spend anything, you just buy it instantly my friend. If you place offers, it’s because it’s in your interest to save money, or invest to make money.

You think it’s a petty thing to play the market even a bit? I guess this game is slightly overwhelming for you. Thanks for replying, go and throw your presumed to be coins someplace else.

Your ability to make a profit does not constitute “balance in the economy”.

You do not understand economics well. It is called ‘Supply and Demand’. If buyers reequilibrate the price higher than you like, you are the problem, not them. This is how perfectly competitive markets work.

P.S. – I wouldn’t insult people by calling them kittens when you have some serious flaws in your argument (lack of economics).

you’re so clueless it’s unreal, you didn’t flame or insult me, i didn’t flame or insult you yet you think i’m childish? you think that someone arguing with your flawed theory is childish?

you have no idea how to use the trading post so stop trying to change everyone’s way of using it

Ok, i’ll just stop here. Either i’m to be blamed for an outrage and a misunderstanding, either you.

Nonetheless, it’s not the outcome i expected, and rather than having this turned into a flame wars, just pretend you never checked it in the first place.

I asked a moderator to close it.
