We could all just get money from selling stuff at cost + questing/dailying. Like I do, and I am never lacking money. It is also cool to sell stuff cheap or just plain give them away. Makes you feel happy more people are getting otherwise expensive goodies and experiencing more the game. But enough of my MMO-adapted Marxism. Who knew the President playerd SWTOR. Drive on Marxist. Drive on.

They sell fast enough, there's really no need to drop them so much in price it's just not needed.. As im being pretty specific about it being Advanced Skill aug 22, I'd imagine this goes on for alot of other items in-game... Anyway, had some time to kill so figured i'd vent a little heat on the forums If they sell so well, why did you undercut the person. You could have priced it the same and both made a sale just fine. But you had to start a price war by undercutting them.

And then you thought you would come to the forums for a chance to...... 1- Expose yourself as the exact person I would intentionally NOT buy from? (1K discount over seeing you frown...your frown is worth 5K at least) 2- Find some emotional support? 3- Remind people to check their own prices to ensure they undercut you again? I'm sorry I lost the whole meaning of this thread...carry on

On The Harbinger, Advanced Neural Augmentors are selling for 18k. It takes 4 to make one purple augment. That's 72k not counting the other components that are needed. Granted, those can be farmed on your own, but that becomes time invested. People are selling these augments for 80k. If you buy all of the components yourself, you barely make a profit. Even if you rely on slicing crits to obtain the augmentors yourself, you're still sinking a lot of credits into it, hoping you'll get lucky and have your companions crit. If you don't have an army of max affection slicers, you're going to be spending a bit of time waiting on those crits. It's already getting to the point on The Harbinger where the components are more expensive than the finished good, and that is a shame. Undercutting by so much or purposely tanking a market means your own profit goes down in the long run. People want their instant gratification and will undercut as far as they have to so they get it, but there's not much that can be done. I will make what I can and once people ruin the market, I will move on to something else.

Simple answer, because some people are greedy bastages and others aren't. Deal with it Scrooge McDuck.

This has nothing to do with welfare and public assistance. Nor with the direct opposite, the Destiny Manifesto paragons and their Laissez Faire. But then again, you probably don't even know what you are talking about.
