Phasics Imperium Technologies	Posted - 2010.12.05 22:37:00 - [1] What if any effect do you think the following change would have on the market and on the indivudal player using the market (buyers, sellers, traders etc). Change Every time you modify an order on the market you pay brokerage again as if you had cancelled the order and set it up again. Now modifying your order by 0.01 isk no longer costs you qty x 0.01 in isk it costs you that plus the original brokerage. So modifying your order multiple times is going to start adding up against the value of the order.
Jita Marketcheck	Posted - 2010.12.05 22:48:00 - [2] would be nice
So Cash	Posted - 2010.12.05 22:51:00 - [3] It would also probably eliminate 0.01isk bots a little too.

Nope, because that's not a bot. Some of us just have no life And no to op because that's how I make my isk. Originally by: Xen Gin Originally by: FOl2TY8 I know that some people like to have voluntary periods of abstinence. Yeah, I use that excuse too.

Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:08:00 - [6] Edited by: Destination SkillQueue on 05/12/2010 23:08:08 The question is why should the market be changed in this way? It seems to be doing just fine and provides active gameplay and competition to those who are willing to dedicate their time to it. Those who don't want to play that game don't have to and they can still sell their items just fine.

Drykor Minmatar Aperture Harmonics K162	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:17:00 - [8] Don't fix what isn't broken. There's plenty of room for improvement in other area's.
Killstealing	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:22:00 - [9] no .01 isk games just means there will be .1 or 1 isk games which means massive fluctuation in min prices (and by proxy ship/everything else)

Cash Equivalent	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:33:00 - [11] I recently received a marketing email from CCP and one of the touted main features was a vibrant market that received over 3000 (or was it 30,000) updates per minute. I imagine a change like you propose might put a bit of a dampener on this. In fact it would essentially put what we think of as the market on pause. Would more likely kill things dead. I prefer lively enthusiastic competition.

No, he's just asking the obvious question: why should the market be changed in this way? ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki
Hivsen Ng	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:53:00 - [13] Only those who are determined will most likely achieve success. It's the way of life since the beginning. Persevere and you will make it. So generally, those who are determined to play the isk game every 5 minutes will make it big. You're suggesting putting less effort for a greater gain. You can see how it won't work.
Mrgwr	Posted - 2010.12.05 23:57:00 - [14] It's called contract trading.

Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2010.12.06 01:05:00 - [16] the only way you get "used" by players who make it their game activity (and presumably enjoy it) is if you're greedy yourself. If you aren't trying to take part of the bid ask spread for yourself you can either sell to the listed buy orders or you could just cut the spread in half an put your stuff up right in the middle ... and look to see that its close to the average sale price over the last week... some traders might .01 you from there but probably not in enough volume to keep your order from being filled in a couple days. Also, players who trade regularly almost all have taken the time to train skills (accounting , broker relations) and grind corp and faction standing to get their broker fees far below non traders....the changes would cost them far less. The richest, best capitalized traders are happy to have mutiple orders on either side of the market too (or at least often they will)...so they'd just put another order in (and they'd train up skills to have hunders of orders). So, it wouldn't work.. it would hurt those you'd like to help, and really you really only get "hosed" if you're trying to have your cake and eat it to ... collecting the spread ..
AnakieNine	Posted - 2010.12.06 05:26:00 - [17] After everyone trained up a few more basic trading alts. You would most likely see lots of single item orders from the same people over and over again. no more 0.01 war instead you would see orders wars with only 1 item in them. No reason to move a 20 item order when you can just create another order on another alt in order to annoy a competitor.

SiR3N	Posted - 2010.12.06 05:50:00 - [19] Your idea will get absorbed into sell prices and the .01 isk will continue. It's not really a market when everyone sells generic items. You can't customize blue prints to have high quality, cheap quality or something never thought of. Nothing in the market can make your product stand out but easy access and price.

Eleana Tomelac Gallente Eclats de verre	Posted - 2010.12.06 07:51:00 - [21] Maybe what you are really searching for is... When you modify your order, the duration isn't set again to its original duration. So, orders finally expire and brokers fees are paid again. If you want to avoid the 0.01 isk bidding, maybe a minimum on broker's fees when changing an order woud be good? But not a fixed amount, it would be crap, more something like there would always be 5% of original broker's fee paid again, then if you move price much, you don't pay more than now, but it you play the 0.01 isk, you pay 5% of original broker's fee. But market is the thing that works best in eve, I'm not sure we need to nerf it. -- Fanfest memories : I looked in your eyes And I found the galaxy Now I'm stuck in eve.

Heh maybe instead a Future's market for the 0.01isk bidders and the regular market for people just looking to buy and sell ;)
