50 Item auction house limit=high unemployment

im happy with the limit.

Why?

Because in years gone by, myself and a friend managed to single... ok dual handedly knacker the economy on an entire game server by buying out pretty much the entire auction house stock and then reselling at a level we felt was more appropriate, and we held it that way for several weeks till the devs implemented limits on players there.

We did it to demonstrate that the market wasn't working properly, and we made playing as a trader nigh on impossible for a lot of people as a result, whilst our bank roll's just got bigger and bigger.

Personally speaking, I don't want to see that kind of arbitrage messing about the economy in SWTOR. 2 or 3 people should not be able to dominate and dictate the market by virtue of owning all the products on it (including buying out and reselling other peoples gear) and in my opinion the 50 item limit is more than generous and currently still allows individuals to monopolize a lot.

Sorry, I know it sucks if you want to mass produce, but those are the breaks. It's harsh but it's a mechanism that protects your ability to trade at least as much as to the extent that it inhibits it. Scale down your operation, try not to flood the market with stuff that isnt selling, SLOW DOWN...

50 items limit is way too low considering the last SWG mmo I played you could put over 5000 items on the AH vendor.
Lets be honest here,this is just plain stupid even if the AH worked right.

But if you are having almost half the things you put up not selling, clearly they ARENT sellable items.

Sure you can put them up for sale, but unless they are actually selling whats the point?

You are missing the point.
The system is broken. I did not have this type of prob on wow. Everytime you go into the auction house on wow unless it is 2 to 6am in the morning where you are it has plenty of people in it and an arseload of stuff to buy and sell.
