Market stealing money

[Soppe]

i got Emphatic Trade Relations on 1%, meaning i should get all the stuff for 1% less then what the price says, instead i gotta pay 1% more... its going the wrong way =S

[SirEmi]

Empatic trade realtions is supposed to lower the minimum bid you can place on CHOAM offers, so if you have 5% and the min bid is 1000, you can place 950, while others will have to place 1000.

So if it works the other way, you have to place 1050 instead, I will check that and see, unless you are refering to something else...

[Soppe]

oh so it does the calculation b4 one actually offers? then the problem is that it does the calculation but it doesnt take it into cosideration when u actually offer.

hehehe...  the market stealing from the person... that's an interesting twist   maybe you should make a complaint to the not yet existant council... 


hmm...  planet laxative...

i declare errr ummm a bounty thats it!

sence its JUST soppe, i would have to say ill put a 1million credit bounty on CHOAM anyone who can return the money will get the reward, now start looking!

[Soppe]

what u mean by its JUST me?? ill ss it if u wanna 

[ars68]

1 mil?  wow, your really goinf overboard there, lamma, using council credits we don't even have yet   lol  I mean, come on, it'd take someone an entire, like, 2 seconds to get that much.  LOL

*searches under the lamma and the kid in soppe's pic*
O.O
*puts a warning sign out front*


hmmm...  planet nobody...  anybody? somebody? bodybody? bodysome? bodybod?

[Soppe]

1 mill aint a biggy, unless u do market 14-16 hours a day. each 5 mins, 4 or 5 offers pops up, lets say i offer on 3, and lose 3 mill each 5 min. thats 18 mill an hour. if i do market for 14 hours, ill lose 252 mill a day. plus whatever cp ammount i use to upgrade the skill =)

[ars68]

wait a sec... that's not a real character bonus... *takes mask off of button* that says % to give to... someone else. soppe, looks you've been FOO'd!  hehehe... 

ok, anyway, ya, it may not be a big deal now, but you gifure later when you are trading for billions, and on top of that over the course of many months, that 1 mil can REALLY rack up.  and even then, doing billions, that would be 10+ mil each time. 


hmmm... planet arakkis...  na, to worm infested

[Soppe]

not only that, but if the skill worked as it should, i wouldve added more points into it, making me buy the stuff even cheaper =)

[Soppe]

this is bullshit. i lose f**k**g 5-20 mill each time i outbid something back, and with all the outbiders that goes around having fun, that turns out to be a nice ammount of money after a day >.<

CHOAM does the calculations before you even see the market.  I have been playing market since its inception. When you add that % the min bid you see is already reduced in price to fit your CPs.  If you would have notice the actuall price you bid on 1 million items is less as you add %s to CPs.  IF you doubt what I say find an item then have someone that does not play the market look and see what the min bid is for that person. you will find that the price you see is X% less than for the person with 0 CPs

[Soppe]

if u got a good that for a person costs 100 mill, i should pay only 99 right? well, sometimes that doesnt happen, i still gotta pay 100 mill (though it first says 99 mill on my screen, but 100 mill when i pay). it aint always it happens, but it seems to be happening when i outbid some1.

[Gunfighter Frank]

when you bid it goes up automaticly

[Soppe]

so the empathic trade relationship skill doesnt count when u outbid? weird cause choam still does the calculations before i offer. ill ss it next time an outbidding war starts so ull see excactly what i mean with the whole thing =)
