Min-Max Price System on Market Is Abusable

One of my biggest issue in this game is how you are forced to price/buy your item within the minimum and maximum which is based on the previous sales.

I know, it has it’s perks like look at the current supply of Tokens. No one can undercut.

But it also comes with a major problem.

For example, some clueless person sells a very rare item really cheap. Someone bought it. This will now become the standard for the price. The min-max price will revolve around it. So people who got the same very rare item are forced to sell is cheap as well.

The opposite case is also possible. Someone sets a fairly rare item at a ridiculous price then some rich person decides to buy it. Min-max will now use that ridiculous price as the standard.

Allowing one sale control over the prices means it’s abuseable. If you look at Dilgele on market of Telsiai. You will see that the min price is ridiculously high (19k? minimum) for such a common item. There’s also Karacha Dagger recipe (Telsiai) now at minimum of 1.8m because some stupid buyer decides to pay 2m+ for it, everyone else suffers.

Eventually, we all know whales will have ridiculous amounts of silvers and is willing to pay extravagantly for items they need. Prices will revolve around that because of this min-max system.

All I know is this system prevents undercutting but undercutting actually shows how much the supply is and eventually creates the market equillibrium.

It feels like such items (I noticed bat wings as well on Orsha) are being pushed up deliberately. Im not sure whether by goldsellers or others.

I think this was done on purpose. On Orsha many of the 120+ recipes or items are being sold for 1m or more now, even tho their supply remained the same (in a number of cases even increased)

I find it crazy that the Karacha dagger prices have inflated an extra 500k per day… a few days ago it was 900k, next day it was 1.3m, next day 1.7m, yesterday it was 2m, today its 2.7m… this is crazy

people are buying them and don’t even use their secondary attack, they just have it in their hands like an accessory, while corsairs and archers that really need it cant buy one because its either overpriced or always out of stock

YOU ! You stole my nick !! :cry:

Someone stole my nick in-game. Anyways, out of topic.

The examples you guys have given reminds me of the Arde Dagger going from 500k to 1.3M on Klaipeda. However I had no clue that ONE person buying the item at X amount of silver can change the min-max.

That’s pretty dumb because a person with a butt-load of silver can make the price of specific desired items go up by a large amount simply because he had enough money to buy all the “max priced” items.

I’ve heard tell that the highest and lowest current posting enforce the opposite limit.
Like, if you post something at the current max possible, it’ll set the current minimum until it gets taken off.

Which would be silly, as anybody farming that item/mat can dedicate one copy to always being the highest on the market while normal market users buy the cheapest version, continually driving the price up as the new max gets reposted.

I’m not 100% sure as well on this but something really controls the prices. Currently, Karacha Dagger recipes on Telsiai market are all 1.8m. It was because of someone buying the same recipe at 2m+ yesterday.


Really stupid system.

IMC just enjoys punishing us because there are people out there trying to make a profit off online video juegos.

I wonder if IMC will ruin their own game, or actually devise a way to stop RMT. They could do what Nexon did with Maplestory Reboot and just make the game a single-player based mmo. Oh wait, it practically already is.

its simple, we kill the batman.

who else is ready for a private server?

Bet they’d do a better job at the networking…

Having items being an enforced certain price is a great idea until you realize that bots outnumber players…

I’m more concerned on this,
