gtfo eve you damn commie

The latest dev blog suggested the average age of CSM voters was 32 years old, with an implication that this was reasonably near the Eve demographic as a whole.

Sometimes I wonder.

Just because you see middle aged rich white men in the GOP debates spouting ineloquent hate fuelled homophobic diatribes doesn't mean you have to stoop to their level.

Get an education, expand your vocabulary; because right now the impression gatherered is that you're not entirely sure which way to sit on a toilet, let alone tie your own shoelaces.

Control your anger issues. I'm assuming you're not four years old anymore. Temper tantrums in the supermarket, shouting and screaming and stomping your little feet is not an activity that impresses grownups or convinces them of your position. If you can't control your anger you may very well someday do something really silly and end up in prison; where, so popular culture would have us believe, you might meet some real "faggots".

"******" is rather widely considered a pretty offensive and homophobic term, especially when used as punctuation as appears the limit of your linquistic abilities. A common theory suggests those least assured of their own sexuality are those most likely to verbally abuse the persuasions of others. If that theory proves correct it would strongly suggest you're rather far back in the closet. In fact - is it snowing? That's Narnia you can see!

WARNING



WE're gonna **** up your profits and market muahahahaaaa tell us how we goons don't ruin your game.



Oh no that's the other thread sorry .....

A good trader would take advantage of the swinging prices and increase profit.

You decided to cry instead as it doesn't fit in with your current trade style.


In short this is healthy for the markets and makes the .01 game less relivant.

More than a 13.5% spread on a big ticket item with a relatively stable price?
GOOD LORD, MAN !
That is a hilariously large gaping hole !

Considering I'd still make a (minuscule) profit at a 1% spread, and even a nearly total trade skills newbie with enough ISK can make a (negligible) profit at a 3% spread, when you see noticeably more than a 5% spread in a hub for an item like that, that's a spread worth shrinking for your own benefit. Well, if I'd be a relatively active "day"trader, that is.
ANYWAY, would I be the guy with the 1.035 bil buy order (and time to actually babysit orders), I'd go as low as 1.085 bil (~5%) on a matching sell order without even BLINKING, and down to even 1.055 bil (~2%) if it means I'm the one getting most of the trades and NOT anybody else (that would include you), since 80++% of the entire market at 1% profit is noticeably better than 4% profit for 10-15% of the market (lower RoI, sure, but when you have a truckload of ISK just sitting, meh).

Who does it help ? Me (I make more ISK) and the buyer (he spends less ISK). Also, a stabilized price might even drive volumes up, which helps me more yet again if I have cornered most of the market. Double ka-ching !
Who does it not affect ? Insta-sellers. Or, if I play both sides, it actually HELPS them. And also drives volumes a bit up. Which in turn helps me. Triple ka-ching !
Who does it hurt ? Sellers other than me that don't want to insta-sell (so, other traders mostly). Care level zero.
End effect : Triple ka-ching you say ? GO-GO-GO !!!

In fact, as an active daytrader, I'd probably START by heavily undercutting both existing sell and buy orders even more that that guy has to create a new 5%-ish spread (or even less, might go with an overly aggressive 3% a bit higher than the previous average to drive stockpiling early on) to discourage most other people remaining in and others from even trying to enter that market at all, then slowly relax the spread towards 5% or even higher (after most of the competition bails out) to increase profit, and stop increasing when others start encroaching back on it, tighten it again if too many came around, rinse and repeat.

Long story short, if you want large spreads, visit places where big walletted traders don't bother venturing to too often.
