I don't care. I still do make more than enough profits by undercutting everyone else. I just don't need that huge amounts of money, I'm rather ascetic, so to say.

Someone undercut two of my main cash cows by 50-75% Monday night.

I bought all of them. Posted them at the normal prices. They all sold last night (my original stuff included). The people who sell their stuff for over double the amount they're worth still haven't sold in weeks.

Some people just don't want to make money.

Also, if they made higher posting fees and made it so that it's only returned when the item sold, there would be less crap on the market and less crap prices. But at the same time, I don't mind because my stuff always sells at the price I want even if it takes a week, and it doesn't cost me a dime until sold.

This game is too easy to make money, especially from crafting materials. I'm at the point where I've aug'ed and crafted/bought every damn piece of gear for PvE, and auged the PvP gear too on three level 55s. I don't even PvE maybe more than once a week, tops. I crafted blue or purple modifications for two of those toons 20-55. I've even bought nightmarishly priced dyes for them too.

I've run out of stuff to spend money on. I haven't touched a makeb daily (or any pve daily for money) in months. And I have you undercutters to thank for this. Keep up the great work of giving me free money!

(Also, the GTN tax is too extreme, but ah well.)

Hahahaha, you cannot price fix a game unless you have billions in credits you idiot. Free mats means someone WILL ALWAYS undercut you. If they are after faster cash, they will undercut you by a ton.

Welcome to capitalism ...

Mats aren't free even if you're going out into the world and harvesting them. If you think they are and you undercut accordingly, my credit balance thanks you profusely.

Why should I ?

Making money just doesn't belong to the parts of SWTOR that constitute the "fun factor" for me.

Crafting is, amongother things. But not making money.

I guess that when you've run out of stuff to spend your money on, you'll go to the next MMO, performing exactly the same cycle ?

Other people are not being outrageous; you are. Do that in real life and you'd be in jail. The party is over. You've been found out. I'm sure you will be able to fall back and regroup to perpetuate fraud on some other items. As you have no doubt noticed, you're not eliciting any sympathy here.

No I keep playing, and just throw the money at friends, guildies, and and alts.

It's just really surprising how terrible the seeming majority of SWTOR players are at this. I've never seen it this bad in many, many other games. I don't mind tho, like I said - free money for me? Thanks!

what's worse is that there are several ppl camping the entire day and taking off rare and expensive items and undercutting others every 15 minutes. :/ can't compete with this! They should bring back pre-paid deposits !!!

mats are free for me... send companion#1,2 or 3 or all 3. collect mats, sell. profit. the piddly cost of 2500k per crew mission is covered by the sales...

win win win..
