Guild Wars 2

Me again, with another Idea for the TP. Again this might crash the economy so Disregard this post if you find lots of holes to poke in it lol.

I was thinking that to encourage more players to sell at the highest bidders price there should be an incentive. I think it might be nice if (for example) I was selling Dusk (yes i’m using that as an example a lot lol) and instead of listing it at 700g I matched the highest bidders offer at 600g (just example prices, don’t take literally).

By accepting the highest bidders price I would be exempt from the additional 10% selling fee on the TP after the item is sold. However you would still have to pay the 5% listing fee.

That way more trade will be happening and people would be more likely to list items on the TP knowing they will keep their 10% by meeting the highest bidder. Thus making the TP a fairer market for both sellers and buyers and personally i feel it would stabilise the economy.

Thoughts?

The 15% fee is a great gold sink and is probably the main thing keeping inflation down.
Besides that I don’t really see the problem with only having people who want a quick/guaranteed sale sell to the highest bidder anyway.
