NOTICE: I do not play .01 isk games. and as one man said: "I am here to destroy your game..."Blink

Greetings folks,

I want to share with those who want to know. We all know about .01 isk market grinding every 5 min time.

CCP could:

- CCP could change that to once a day at least. (to induce more client/trader relations, give more life to contracts)
- Maybe appying market pre and after hours with main hours.
- Define them in ET schedules and let it run.
- This will make market bots obsolete, to certain degree.
- Reduce number of people going for 1 ISK games and allow players do other stuff while not in main trading hours.
- Maybe applying main hours to different time zone sections. Lets say Caldari for Asia and Oceania, Amarr for Middle East, Gallente for Europe/Magreb and Minmatar for Americas.
- Certainly this wil shift traders dynamics as where to trade due to their time zones irl.
- That will also affect producers selling regions
- Maybe applying this only to citadels' markets?

I need constructive critics and ideas to improve that. .01 isk games are really a trade killer. More realism into it please.

CCP would?


Happy triggering!

They would simply break their orders out into more orders and continue undercutting you by 0.01 isk - and you couldn't even change your price to compete with them...

This is a horrible idea.

TL;DR--

"People don't play the game the same way I do, so please change the mechanics CCP."


Is that about correct? Just wanted to make sure I was correct in lumping you in with the "anti-gank HS miners" and "delayed local" folk.

why dont you just do that yourself instead playing the .01 isk game? you know, go do something else then adjust your order later? i see you want to remain at the top but it wont fix your problem because someone will just change the price after you then your stuck again all day rip no cigar, why do you want to force dedicated traders to be doing other activities?

Oh, boy...

Let's start at the top.

XThere's nothing wrong with the .01 ISK game!X
Tranquility Trade Wars is a viable and fun way to play EvE for quite a few players.
Constant updates and nursing investments is a feature not a flaw.



Now that that is out of my system, let's ask some questions:

First, how would any of this - in any way - obsolete bots?

Second, how would this affect the actual inter-empire trader? How long do they need to be online to actually buy and sell things in multiple areas?

Third...example time... I'm in the US, does that mean that I can only trade in Minmatar since I'll be at work during the other empires trade times. i'm not a big proponent of fire and forget orders...

Fourth.... Seriously... How is ANY of this a 'good thing'?

Wow. That was... original?

I honestly tried to think about the possible outcomes for this. They would be good for some, bad for others, but in any case I've got to disappoint you: if .01 ISK games are your problem, the suggested changes sure as hell aren't going to solve them for you.


Hypothetically, that would make market competition more strategic, requiring from traders to think ahead and study their competitirs' order patterns. At the same time, everyone would start placing items for sell in much smaller increments lest they have all their wares locked down for the day.

And it will favor those who can afford to spend more orders on a particular item. Oh, James, will it favor them. Right now, casual traders with one account and low trading skills can still have their 20 seconds of fame every 5 minutes even when bidding for a hot item. Even I am able to sell all my (significant enough) loot through sell orders in Jita (eventually) by updating the order 1-2 times a day. With your idea, casuals go straight out the window. It won't be any easier for the big traders either: they'll have to specialize more and waste lots of orders on one item.

To think of it, right now I'm even failing to find anyone who would be happy with this.


Verdict: if you don't want to play .01 ISK games, get out of Jita. Work hard or work smart, that's your choice. Either babysit your orders while station trading or do some legworkand bring your stuff to where people will buy it.

Okay this one really got me LOLing in my chair.Roll It is SO stupid I shall only say this as it sums up everything. And yes that is as "constructive" as I can post atm.Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

As noted above, people would just set up multiple orders so they can adjust the price more than once per day; 305 market orders per character, 3 characters per account... theoretically your "once a day" becomes once every 2 minutes, which is less than the "once every 5 minutes" that we currently have.

CCP could change the fee for modifying an order, so that changing the order for just 0.01 ISK costs a lot, making it unfeasible. But it still won't help any single person compete on the market.

Because it's not really "bots": you have 2,000 - 3,000 PEOPLE from all over the world competing, esp. on the popular items like PLEX and injectors, and even with a 24 hr. restriction you will still see orders being changed every minute or so. Because there are so many people. The server has anywhere between 20,000 and 30,000 accounts logged in at any moment during the day; it's not a stretch to imagine that 10% of them may be using a fundamental feature such as the market, without being bots.

Now as triggering happened, we know them. As of course, they made instant assumptions regarding me.
Some said I play the .01 game like they know me. Reminds me of the guy in Jita who said I am racist because he assumed that Juanita was a latina maid. Now if I am also latino, then no racism, if me and JUanita are both white no either, and you can't find out either. Yelling spouts is much better, and that is why I liked triggered peope. They show the flaws you overlook yourself sometimes, which is very helpful.

So order limits do not exist? Please, think before posting.

If you had read the rest of the replies you would realize how stupid you sound right now...and how ironic that statement truly is...

You are individual that makes assumption regarding individual rather than constructively criticising the idea. So idea will live as long as people like you won't deal with the ideas. Your mindset is dangerous, including for yourself, and I am talking about real life as well.

Technically the amount of orders a player can have is truly limited to how many alts she is willing to use.

Well, just as told, put passive orders in regions out of your timezone and trade actively in the region of your timezone when it is your prime time. Seems like diverse game?

Fourth.... Seriously... How is ANY of this a 'good thing'?

--Honestly Stunned Gadget



Setting passive orders in areas out of your region with forecasted prices for the trading cycle. When in your time zone trade in your own prime time in the active hour set. It can be distributed evenly. WIthin different hubs in same region different time sections applied. Bringing more activity to other trade hubs.
