Show me where there is such a link, otherwise, I'll keep undercutting your sorry behinds because like with the materials I farm, it's all free. lol. go back to school and learn Economics 101. Bill Gates or Warren Buffett you and your buddies aren't.
I love people like you who think gathered materials are free. Please do that more!

Your definition of "free" must be different than mine.

Nodes I farm while questing = resources in my inventory with no loss of credits.

In my mind, that's free.

Time is money though.. even in an MMO. Your mission pace is slowed by gathering. But the payoff is worth it to you.. so you do it.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

Mine are definitely free then using a remote console while still at work between crew missions ... and as long there is profit... even the crew skills are free enough. heck if the blues are not worth enough to post i just vendor them.. it is faster. but if you;d like to buy my crap bulk ... let me know.

Buy it and re-sell it yourself if you think it's priced that low.

Talk about yer first world problems.

I'm a regular crafter of certain items, have been for nearly a year now, even though, I've been playing and subbed since before launch. I've noticed this too, and what mystifies me, is that these people, aren't even making a profit. I sat down and figured out what each of the materials needed per item cost, added in a little bit of profit, and came up with my price, which is fair to me, fair to the low level players whos needs I meet...and then these fools come in, undercutting me and a couple of other people by atleast 75%.

I don't think these morons understand, that they're not even making money. They're wasting their time and money, and ruining the market to boot. I understand that undercutting is a marketing game, but to do so by so much, makes it impossible for anyone to make money. I bet the morons don't even see that they're losing out, lol.

And yes, sometimes, I would buy their cheap crap and resell it, but I don't want to encourage them for one, and by the time you buy up all their cheep crap to resell, they've made more, so you never can make back your money, so I don't bother supporting these nubs anymore.

I find it funny when I see people complaining how undercutting is bad and how its ruining the "fixed market" which is worse than undercutting.

I should not be surprised these are the same people who complain when a real company charges $10 for dlc or $60 for a game etc etc
Unsubbed until channel animations return

And why do you care?

You don't want to encourage them to enable you to make money?

You can't control what others do. It's Monopoly money so either wait 'til theirs sells or buy and re-sell theirs yourself. Either way, who really cares?
