what would stop me from splitting my order into 2 batches? I price one under the lowest at .01. And hour later, I under cut the lowest with the 2nd stack by .01 and cancel the first stack or wait on it till it comes back around. The point is, there are simple ways around your suggested improvement. You either need to develop it further otherwise implementing such an idea would waste resources from CCP that can be circumvented with a simple work around.

OP, can I have your SP?

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Sweetie...

The reason that see bids under yours that are only .01 ISK difference is because that is the minimum possible. If ISK were measured out to .000000001 then that's the difference you would see.

In the same vein, if CCP decided that the minimum amount for any transaction (as in that's the smallest number you can put in the box) would be 500 ISK, then the next order under yours would be 500 ISK less.

Stay more vigilant on your orders...

You don't see Walmart undercutting people by one-hundredth(.01)


Walmart undercuts Target, Best-Buy, and any and all smaller mom-and-pop shops by 0.01 Dollars (1 cent) ALL the TIME. They undercut by the smallest possible amount of currency that exists. Everybody in RL does this.

You are not forced to go shop at Walmart any more than you are forced to shop at Jita. As a matter of fact, the citadels they've put up around Jita are there specifically for that, to avoid the Walmart price. And taxes.

But do they undercut by .01 of a cent?

Can we please get it so that reducing the price on an existing market order requires more than a .01 isk change?
Under what circumstances would somebody modify their own order by only 0.01 ISK? If they're already the cheapest, no need to modify. If they're not the cheapest, a 0.01 ISK change won't make them the cheapest.

undercutting by .01 to be cheapest is a load of crap.


Undercutting by the minimum amount possible is market economics.

Posting uneducated comments on forums is a load of crap, though.

I am talking about raising the minimum.

Do they put prices on things in cents? Or do they have a "dollar" amount, and then a "decimal point", and then the number of "cents"?

When you see $0.01 - do you think that is 0.01 "Dollars", or 0.01 "Cents"?

You seem to have issues with even the most basic rudiments of currency....so I think you should just give up on understanding this stuff before your brain overheats.

Also see my previous post - I already solved your "problem".

Why are you equating 1 ISK with 1 cent?

1 ISK is clearly equivalent to 1 of any currency, from dollar to euro to chickens. "Cent" by very definition of the word means 0.01 of whatever the currency is. Walmart's currency is the dollar, not the cent, and so they undercut by 0.01 of 1 dollar.

And you're talking about changing the minimum. We think that's stupid, and thus no change is required to the game.

So if this thread is going to turn into a vote thread with no actual discussion or valid logical arguments, then you say "yes" the rest of us say "no", and CCP can go about continuing with the game as it is, and ignore you.

because it is the smallest unit of a currency.

0.01 isk = smallest possible increment in the ISK currency.
1 cent = smallest possible coin in the dollar currency.

So 0.01 isk can be equated to 1 cent, and 1 ISK can be equated to 1 dollar.

Dude. I was watching this Rob Schneider movie last night. It involved a simular situation when the main character was taking a rather tall lady on a date. They were just walking down the street when somebody yelled out "That's a huge *****!". (female dog)

OP should go watch the stock markets in real life work a bit before he opens his mouth.Roll

Any market, any currency, any website globally. Dont just look at the stocks but the buy/sells for any stock, especially the liquid ones.

Guaranteed you will be amazed OP.

Oh and edit... price matching is still a thing last I heard. So even if a store doesnt list a lower price in order to make a sale they will usually beat a competitors price.

Have you heard anything I've said?

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

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

Yeah extreme ignorance is unfortunately not against the rules but trolling is. The general thought is no one could possibly be this ignorant so you must be trolling.
