Is there any good reason for not being able to buy NOT the cheapest item in the same location?

Should they change it because boycotting sellers or blacklisting buyers makes sense from a market pvp standpoint? you tell me.
In such a context, a buyer like me could boycott 0.01 players, who could still pledge their trade and sell to people who want to save a couple isk on each purchase.


I can accept that the idea of market boycotts could lead to interesting gameplay, although the ubiquity of alt characters may make it hard to implement - if you have a beef with the Black Rebels you'd have to go a long way to affect our individual market capability.

As above, I'd suggest this is probably now a question for F&I, and if you want it taken seriously I'd suggest you avoid discussing the aesthetic qualities of market listings, which just comes across as being remarkably trivial. Similarly, "despising chrematistics" won't gain you much traction in a game that revolves around empire building and the accumulation of massive wealth.

I though this game was pvp-based and that every interaction was pitting players against one another. Now, as a pod pilot and a player, I despise chrematistics and want to aggravate people who play the 0.1 isk game, which is imo a waste of bandwidth and a visual outrage. Therefore, I want to buy from people who present coherent, easy to read prices with numbers that don't look like 79987.54, which are just ugly. I want to help make it unworthwhile to present those kind of prices.

Why is it that right-click buying a more expensive item, in the same location, makes you buy from the cheapest seller, at the higher price?

Is there any valid reason for that? I always thought it was a myth kept alive by 0.1 lamers, but I just tested it and it's sadly true.

What's the story behind this?


Thanks!


Only purpose is to stop players from getting the traders name - If I could buy stuff from all sellers I could easily make attempts to manipulate the market for said item.
