Swtor players make worse undercuts on GTN than wow players on AH

I love people like you who think gathered materials are free. Please do that more!

Several of us have basically set the market standard for the price of this particular item for a few weeks now; suddenly a bunch of people undercut the rest of us by like 75% and for this entire week. Cant wait a few extra hours to sell so they'd rather make as little profit as possible? Never had I encountered such outrageous and baffling undercutting in the 6 or 7 years Ive played wow.

Let me introduce you to the concept of IDGAF. IDGAF about your "profits". IDGAF about a stable market. I'll post what I feel like selling for prices I feel like getting and if they don't sell twice I'll vendor them. IDGAF how much I could have made if I priced my items to your dorky standards.

You can continue to whine.... IDGAF.

I got mine so who cares what happens to anyone else?

I get it. I've accepted existence of people like that. after all people like that is why we are in our current "meat space" economy situation in a first place. free market taking to its extreme where almost no one wins. not even you.

I'm not trying to advocate price fixing. I'm not even trying to tell you how to live your life and how to play your game. I'm merely illustrating consequences of your actions. not even for you. just... in general for whoever IS willing to listen.

and btw? what I do for a living (though not much of one lately - see my "whine" as you like to call it) is great fun for me. i love it. pretty sure most if not all creative professionals do. even when you are frustrated with project not going well, in the end - its fun, and you love it, or you wouldn't keep doing it.

but fun doesn't mean it's worthless. fun doesn't mean it has no value. fun doesn't render it free. I will never understand this belief some people have that it only counts as a proper job deserving compensation if you hated doing it and/or if it fits some arbitrary standard of what "real job" is.

I have pretty much given up on GTN nowadays. I might use it to clear out overabundance of materials where the cost to sell it is at least double of what I'd get from the vendor. sometimes I browse it for sellers who for whatever reason list their items below vendor sale price in their rush to undercut - and I buy those up and sell them to the vendor myself. but for the most part - its now a source of dirt cheap cartel moddable gear.
oh well....

We don't put up with price-fixing cartels in real life. They are illegal. Why should we welcome them in a computer game?

Once again, I have no sympathy for this position. It is ludicrous.

The point you (and others who complain about such things) miss entirely is that there is a difference between real life and pixels inside of a game that have no bearing on the former.

Most of us put up with WalMart... 'Nuff said.
