I dont see what the problem here is. Sure 0.01 isk doesn't sound like much to you but to me it could save me millions.
For example tri is selling for 3 isk per unit, now I notice that ever 15 min it drops 0.01, so I wait and see what the market is doing. This can take hours or even days but with dedication I sit and watch untill i see that the price has not changed for a few hours. Now is when I buy, so rather than spending 3 isk I now pay 1.94 isk.
Now when I buy tritainum I buy ALOT so 50 mil of the stuff at the old price of 3 isk would have cost me 150 mil, but because I waited I only pay 97 mil. I just saved 53 million by playing the markets and using the 0.01 price wars to my advantage.
The most important thing for me is reducing my costs to maximise my profits on my final products so even saving 0.01 isk per unit of resources to me is very important.

the difference being that people still have the ability to buy from Kmart. If the Kmart DVD were invisible / unobtainable until the same DVD from Walmart had been purchased however it would be more like what EVE is now.
Trying to sell anything on the Jita market quickly is a nightmare unless you camp it all day long, constantly undercutting by 0.01 ISK, which is both frustrating and a massive waste of time. It's the kind of thing you'd have Macros doing.[/quote
um, I can still see things that sell for more than the lowest bidder. If I wanted to I could buy those more expencive things but because I dont want to spend more than the lowest offer I will always go for the cheaper seller. Its exactly the same as my town center, the shop that sells the same item cheaper will get the sale.
Honestly some of you people in here make me feel like a market expert sometimes...

I veiw the markets on eve like the stock markets. Constantly on the move, numbers moving in the 0.01 range (the real stock markets operate in the 0.00001 range)
As I have said before, 0.01 to you whiners means nothing, to me it means I save millions. For every 0.01 isk movement I stand to lose or save alot of money. These minute changes in the markets is what makes it so much fun for me in that you cant predict what is going to happen in a market a week or a month in the future only guess.
Remove that and we get generic MMO econemy No. 2345 and all the fun is taken out of it.

People who sit in Jita all day upping their orders by .01 ISK are douchebags, plain and simple.
people who steal jetcans are stupid, as are mission runners, pirates, and miners.
see theres no truth to what I say, its just that I cant take part in those things effectivly so because I cant/won't take part in them Its stupid and the people who can be bothered are dumbasses....

A trained ape could refresh the market screen and bid people up by .01 ISK.
The vast majority of you people bidding up .01 ISK fail to achieve any great amount of wealth in any case, which is to be expected.
every 0.01 isk on my buy orders means I save 500k isk which results in cheaper ships for my customers. Plus whenever I change my orders I end up paying 100 isk, not much on its own but it quickly adds up and must be taken into account when working out my budget.
If you dont like it then dont play the market game, but dont spoil it for others just because you cannot be bothered.
