Don't you hate it when you put an item in the market for the lowest price but then 10 minutes later somebody lowered their price to yours -1 gold?
It's annoying, makes prices swingy and gives a big advantage to those who can spend the time to market watch 24/7.
In other mmos I've seen them try to lessen this by taking the market fee when the item is put in as supposed to after it's sold like we have. This means it's not worth it to take the item out and put it in so often, and if you do take it out you have to lower the price considerably for it to make any sense.
So how about taking our market fee when the item is put in to be sold? That wouldn't be too big of a job I'd think.
The system would work the best with a sort of time function on it. For example you could put an item in for 1 hour, 1 day or 1 week. When you put the item in it reserves the fee, say 3% from your gold. If you don't get the item sold and 1 hour passes, that gold is returned to you. But if it gets sold or if you call of the offer, the gold is taken permanently. This would be a bigger job no doubt.
So if you people can make any sense of that what do you think? Any other solutions? Should we just live with it? I could see some complications but I think overall this'd be a much better way of doing things. Especially the 2nd way.
