To everyone who under-/overcuts me by 10/100/1000/10000 ISK instead of 0.01 ISK

Did you really think I wouldn't notice? Did you think you were being smart, huh?! "Maybe he'll just update his order by -0.01 ISK and then I'll still be the top order!", is that what you were thinking? You are so ******* dumb. Even if I didn't use Eve Mentat and instantly see the difference in our prices and the new price I need to use to be the top order, it'd be **** ******* easy to see what's going on. In fact, after Rubicon 1.2 when Eve Mentat was broken the last time and I updated my orders by hand, wanna guess how many times I was tricked by ******** fucks like you? ******* ZERO ******* TIMES.

Or maybe you're doing it because your dumb, lazy ass can't be arsed to do a little math? Is deducting 0.01 ISK too ******* difficult for you, is that it? Or are you doing it to reach the closest round value and then deduct 0.01 ISK from that to get a nice string of nines, like they do in supermarkets, that TV documentary you once saw 5 minutes of said it makes the price look cheaper which increases sales? You think that ******* matters with Eve? The buyer in Eve don't ******* care about round prices or nine-ninety-five deals. They only care about what's the top order and whether it's unreasonably expensive through manipulation or not. They don't even have to punch in any ******* numbers, the market automatically selects the cheapest deal for them, and the market especially doesn't ******* care about 9.95 deals, you dumb ****.

Imagine, just ******* imagine with that pathetic frontal lobe of yours for a moment, a perfect world where you didn't ******* undercut my Phased Muon Sensor Disruptor I from 1 749 999.89 ISK to 1 699 999.99 ISK because you thought you were being smart, you thought I wouldn't notice, or you thought it'd make your **** sell faster because it's cheaper, or you thought I wouldn't go that low and would no longer undercut you, but I ******* did because I've learned to accept the fact that morons like you ******* exist and I'll just have to chalk it up as smaller profit margins. Imagine that perfect world, where both of us would be sooner rather than later making almost 10% more ISK and our goods would sell just as ******* fast as in Undercutland. Wouldn't that be ******* great?

But no. You and your stupid face just had to show up in the trading business and ruin it for everyone. And yes I do ******* know you're just completely ******** beyond all help and it's not manipulation. Sure, when that **** keeps going on for long enough SOMEONE's gonna show up and take advantage of your stupid ass and buy your **** for cheap and relist it for more, but that's not what you're after. If I was in a room with Mittani, Mynnna and you and had a gun with two bullets, I'd shoot you twice, that's how ******* ******** you are.

that is some major sperging.

I always undercut by arbitrary amounts. If it fools someone into messing up an order that's a bonus, but the reason I do it is because its easier for me than to match the price exactly and undercut 0.01

And now I'll do it because it makes guys like this post things like that.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Undercutland, coming to Phased Muon Sensor Disruptors in a hub near you!

Poor Mynnna, having to be fictionally placed in a room with that guy and not getting shot :(.

That saying is much better when it is used alongside Goodwin's Law.

Although I do hate people that undercut deeply on meta 4 sensor damps, especially as I'm exiting that market at the moment. Fortunately I am holding very few of them so I'm not all that fussed about the 50m undercuts.

There have been a few people under cutting me while I slept? Spin the mouse-wheel till it's below the lowest. how far below? not that important.

Woo! CSM XI!

I do love the 'undercut by 10.01' approach, just because 20% of the time it buys you five more minutes as the lowest order and 0.5% of the time that is accompanied by hilarity in local.

That said I do more region trading than station trading.

Wow. Why so serious? Just masturbate next time and call it a day.

I really am wasting my breath though, when you can avoid questions from Hexxx and RAW23 like that you must have some seriously devoted investors. --Elizabeth Norn

When this happens to me, what I do is stay at the computer and undercut by 0.01 ISK for as long as it takes.

That'll show those chumps who's boss....

I recently had five split stacks of Stasis Webifier IIs as a result of really being determined to mess with someone in an undercut war.

Sometimes, market PVP is about profit. Other times, it's just about ruining someone's day. I achieved all of my goals that day, even if I did end up still holding 200 or so modules that I didn't want.

LOL if I can't undercut you by at least 100k multiple times a day it is not worth selling.
