I've tried to sell items on the auction house maybe 2 times in my 18 months of playing (neither sold, even though the mu was very buyer-friendly :laugh:). Mostly my stuff just rots in the storage. Why is that?
selling things on the auction in this game is bullshit when you
a) can't even set the % on stackables the way you want (i.e. pec) and
b) two-part auction fees prevent the auction house from portraying the actual existence of goods in people's possession!
ergo
setting up auctions must be free, only actual sales must incur fees!
until that is done, playing the market in entropia is a joke compared to another game I've played where people could put everything they wanted in the auction at no cost which lead to an abundance of goods being available (good for buyers) and dynamic prices just waiting for you to invest into at the right moment (good for sellers). esp. during events when new items would come out and market prices would change by the minute that was some of the most fun I've had in my gaming life! (I'd like to see that concept wholesale in Entropia, as it would give massive newbie retention, but that is another matter for another time)
now some of you might go "but this is RME!:mad:" - but that doesn't change a thing. I've seen the concept work. giving players easy access to the resources they need to hunt, mine and craft speeds up the economy and benefits everybody. more auctions means more sales, so MA would very likely benefit too. I literally can't see anybody have a disadvantage by this change!
if you believe like me that market activity in Entropia is artificially crippled by the abovementioned things, sign this petition!
