well i went and checked out the guild gaia made for the new market system and most people are saying its just going to cause inflation, which i tend to see as happening already. gold inks shot up to like 900g i sold some last week at competitive 200-300 area i think its just weird

It can be good when you're selling, though. =D

well it will cause inflation cause you have to sell the item higher just to make up for the tax they would take.

well here is what the announcement said about the inflation


"There is now a 2% listing fee for all items in the Marketplace. This means that if your item is sold, Gaia will take a 2% cut of the selling price. This will help stabilize the Gaia economy by controlling inflation and preventing abuse of the Marketplace. However, this means that we no longer have to require vending licenses, so everyone who has previously bought one will have their 1000 Gaia Gold refunded. "

i believe it will have the opposite effect cause everything will go higher epecially on the good old mc items stare so much for questing lol

stabilize huh yeah... >..> whatever. on the upside though it is a nice layout reminds me a bit of tektek kinda easy to use and graphs are always nice for investment purposes

Read that developer-economist's thread thing yet? I mostly agree with him.

one part of the new marketplace system that i do like though is the preview before ya buy... good idea and really almost no need for the finicky tektek anymore
