In a (perhaps surprising) number of cases, the person who made the mistake will be reimbursed by the person who bought the underpriced item. <br /><br />This is just a game, after all, so taking advantage of another player's unfortunate mistake, particularly due to bad game design issues, isn't something to be proud of doing.larrybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395545824457097643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-51992947830220112262015-06-13T11:50:57.301+01:002015-06-13T11:50:57.301+01:00You're optimistic, managing is 1 week the firs...You're optimistic, managing is 1 week the first time, and it only gets worse.

If the highest buy order for an item is 100 isk and I put up my sell order for 10 isk for mistake, why should the buyer spend less than they offered for it? It doesn't work in the reverse. Let's say I'm buying an item and I need 100 of them. The top 10 lowest sell orders only add up to say 30 of what I want, but order number 11 from lowest to highest price has 200 units available. Now maybe the difference in isk between the lowest order and # 11 is 1,000 isk or so. If I only want to make one purchase and go right to order #11 and try to buy from that one order, what happens is that ALL the first 10 sell orders get filled at the price I offered for order 11 so they get the windfall, even though they had listed at a lower price. So the first 10 orders get sold at my price for 30 units and only 70 units get purchased from sell order 11 at the price I offered. I "waste" the difference between the lower sell prices and the price of order 11 on the previous 10 orders. If I want to maximize my savings, I have to place 11 orders to get all my goods. Why do the sellers get the higher price and not just what they offered their goods at?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865819977715183166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597676555600759067.post-21905335678976937492015-06-13T04:44:26.603+01:002015-06-13T04:44:26.603+01:00It takes :
