not in the way the phrase is meant. Lots of regulations and if you get caught price fixing or gouging in certain situations it can mean legal trouble.
if you roll a billion d6 you will get about a 3.5 average overall.
A friend of our years ago did a dice rolling program for d6 when we used to play a lot of Champions.
Jesus…that program wasnt even close to the averages. It was all over the place. It was better to just roll all those d6 and count them.
And free markets are notoriously bad.
Again, you are pressing a button. Some people will pay to press that button. You pressing that button adds no value to the materials, and there is a price premium people are wiling to pay for it. It’s really very simple.
Its too bad they cant figure out how to use FIFO. If there was a way it’d really help to stop a lot of the problems of cancel scanning/ delisting to relist if you know you just put your stuff to the back of the line.
someone had a item up for sale for 1k i stuck my stack for 400g now its down to 100g
the region wide AH is just 1 step they needed to help bring wow to console which will prob happen next year once the MS deal is complete
Idk what people’s obsession with Ms and consoles is.
Microsoft has game pass for PC as well, they are big on PC gaming just like console gaming. If anything the big change to wow would be porting it to Microsoft’s “play anywhere” cloud gaming infrastructure so people with utter potato’s can still play the game.
People will pay with what they can get away with. Meaning the cheapest. What they are willing to pay is something entirely different. It doesn’t matter if I’m pressing a button or swinging a hammer. If I produce something and i want to sell I generally want to get more than it cost me to produce. You are arguing semantics and that is nonsense. Pretty simple really. You want to get more energy out then you put in. Not hard.
the last in first out only helps the AH botters. they can automatically cancel/repost 24 hours a day 7 day a week. they basically OWN the leggo market. try to sell one if you dont believe me.
He did originally. After I replied, he edited the post to change what he said.
I’m not arguing semantics, I am explaining to you why something you don’t understand is actually occurring, because you seem very confused. Just because you want to make a profit by pressing a button, doesn’t mean you can if no one wants to pay you for it. If there wasn’t enough tailors, and it took a large investment to unlock the recipe, then you could make a profit.
But right now you are asking to be rewarded for doing something people want to pay to do, and that’s why the market isn’t rewarding you. You just need to accept that.
Yes, that’s called economics.
Not in a singular market it isn’t. You may have a degree, and I am sure you worked hard to get it, but that doesn’t mean it applies to every situation.
Price fixing defeats the entire purpose of an ‘auction house’. You might as well just buy stuff off a vendor if that is how this plays out.
Region wide AH was a mistake, but one that had to be made because of the declining customer base. Of course, Blizzard could have just further merged realms but people tend to get upset about that because for some reason they are attached to their realm name.
You said ppl will pay what they are willing to pay .Which is true. Thats not the same as buying the cheapest available because if the cheapest exceeds what they are willing to pay, then they don’t buy it. Again if I can’t sell it at a profit then I don’t produce it. I don’t need to accept anything. It’s you who is confused.
lol. dude. you are just walking yourself through basic market dynamics.
again, economics 101, if supply goes down, then the price will eventually go up.
I don’t really understand what your point is here. Are you mad that the market is doing what a market does? It’s like getting mad at the sun rising in the sky. It’s just basic economic laws at play.
Blizzard can’t fix the market for you so that you’ll make money for doing nothing, and they shouldn’t do that. If you want to make money, provide a service or good that people actually want to pay you for.
I have already published 4 ideas to solve the problems of the current auction.
- Add a public market value for all players.
- Add a Buy Order system
- Reduce the number of requests to only 15 in each scan, it is not necessary to look at 120 offers with differences of 1s
- Change the order of priority when making purchases, give priority to old offers so that they can ensure their sales
No they shouldn’t do that.
They should keep it the way it is and let the market do its thing. There’s no problem here. If you want gold get a job and buy tokens.
Correct! We are perfectly fine “controlling” our own prices 
If this is turning into a mobile game, they should remove the sub fee.
