1.Make it so market data can not be collected, so prices can sky rocket
2.Ships and just about everything cost more
3.CCp sells more plex now

If this happens then trading in game would probably collapse given the nature of accuracy would result in market crashes. Given today we all rely on IGB and cache scraping it still adds a buffer that spaces out trades to in a way "luck".

If it were to be released 1hr delay then that would work IMHO as getting the scrapping can give a bit of an edge but also means players just can't second trade as much as an hourly latency ?

I fully agree that 'perfect' market data, on demand, would be a significant issue. I cover that in the blog post in my request Blink I'd written that, then posted this later.

Short version: Add caching. so the very first person to request an item's price, in a region, gets the up to date value. Everyone else, for the next hour, gets the same data. It would emulate the effect we get with cache scraping now.


The EMDR style firehose of market data would also be good, as players would have no control over what's coming out of it. It's perfect, at the time it's published, but without control, there's no problem.

Woo! CSM XI!
