I've been known to destroy the profit margin of a market before, did that right when I started without even knowing (little over a month ago). Discovered how useful it was too, went form have a lot of healthy competition to 2-3 people I was competing against. Than I learned about 0.01 isk wars when the market stabalized and went back up in a week after that.

Someone else just tried to crash said market within the last week I decided to just ride it out and keep my same price on goods and not adjust. Which was a good thing since someone came along and bought up all their stuff and all of mine in the course of one day, so I made a better profit than I would have otherwise and the market returned to normal.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

OP

I used to trade a lot but i just bored of the constant 0.01 wars. So i used to make massive changes and see who went with me. If i dropped very low and people came with me i would simply buy up their stock and up all my prices again and as i had 100 orders on the go at once i had spread my bets

I gave it up as following 100 or so orders takes a lot of time and effort
I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

Who's "They"?
You keep refering to "them" and how "they" ruined your market in arnon.

There is no THEM, It's tons of people just like you. some with more patience, some without.
I'm still trading in systems people think are useless. Good isk to be made.

You sound like you're sad they took away your isk fountain of no competition.
That's how it works in every market.
You think it would be better if everyone would undercut by 100K?
Markets would heal MUCH faster, keeping people with LOTS of sales, at 0% margins. How is this good?


What happened to my draft? Dang I will have to rewrite this some other time.
