Im new in the forum and i dont know if i made everything right in this post but i want to mention about the market system which i find is very bad.
First of all is that everyone just goes as the listed price of something and it isnt really trading. When by the Pyre stands 300 to sell and 200 to buy everyone just goes after that price. Only a few ones dont look after that but then buy or sell directley and only after the there standing price.
Second of all is that there is a fight. Mostly you get overbet by 0.01 coin and you cant even do anything about it because the instantly overbet you again by 0.01 coin.
My solution too the problems would be that there is a least price set from 1% (0.5% by relikt) plus the highest or lowest price that was set in the buy or sell and you cant bet lower so there will be a not that big difference between buyers and sellers and no 0.01 coin battle.
Let me know what you think of that and if i did everything right by uploading this.
market bots are a thing to and constantly do this to a certain point. say you try to sell something for 500.00 well the bots will go a penny lower then you and theyll do this CONSTANTLY. i was trying to sell a typhoon before for 33k and a bot would constantly under bid me by a penny within 10 seconds of me posting my offer or even changing it. it wouldnt go under 30k though. even after like 4 or 5 hours or even a full day i tried to change my bid only for the damn bot to under bid me by a penny within 10 seconds. its a real problem.
this might be a pc thing but i know their are people that just sit nd run the market like myself so honestly you wouldnt really know if its someone botting or if its a really player but let me tell ya always keep your prices the same never raise or lower, just wait it out nd in the end you will make moe coin then the ppl who are in a rush
doesnt help that the sell offers cancel themselves after 24 hours. at least on ps4 it does.
true but then you still put up at the same price, always keep stuff at your price and let others waste their time losing alot of profit
yeah but… some items drop like a stone.
example i was trying to sell a quasar at 750 coins, the next day i come back and its down to like 400. so im stuck with a weapon i dont want unless i want to sell it for chump change.
its always frustrating to try to sell an item for a certain price only to come back and have its price be cut practically in half…

yes that happens but once they go back up you will make huge bank
i suppose so. i guess i just need to hold onto it for a while.
like the steppe cab was down at 400 i bought 35 nd i had to wait 3 months nd they shot up to 1200
sweet christ. i actually bought a few dusk cabins before for a stupidly low price and sold them later when they went up. wasnt much but it was profit at least. hell i have 16k fuel sitting in my inventory that i bought for like 7.00 each and now its like 21.00 per 100. i was gonna use it for raids but… ever since raids became the same thing i was never able to use my fuel so…
i never grind fuel anymore since im blocked from 2499 lobbies lol
Number of people buying and selling is normally a decent indicator. If some muppet is underbidding by 0.01 coins ignore it, just wait it out. May take a few days but if you play their game you just end up losing more and it’s annoying.
I got a few players playing the market recently which could be part of the reason for the recent uptick of players on the market. It is a bad system i know but if your going to play min overbet way of playing the market then it is best to keep it spaced apart by at least an hour. The other person doing the outbidding will most likely be logged off by then and will increase your odds of getting the item for the least amount of energy exhausted. I made an instructional video last month to teach people the basics.
People sells multiples too soo depending what you are getting outbid on then don’t worry to much over it. The key is patience and as long has it is not something like paint/decor then you will usually get the item your bidding on within a couple of days tops unless it is a relic.
