No, your problem is your own lack of logic comprehension.
You just claim that someone who has the lowest SO will keep it until someone else cuts it. That’s exactly how it worked before. Nothing changed. So if that person keeps this SO indefinitely, that means that nobody is purchasing from it - so there is no issue with that.
If that person keep pushing more SO - well that means he has lower price than you, so it is how it is supposed to work.
I’m sorry, its obvious you have no real market experience or you would know what problems the traders of eve will face with the changes. But I like your “no you” attitude of answering, I will copy that if I ever have to troll somebody
No ■■■■ that’s how it worked. I never said it didn’t? I’ve been working the market for 7+ years, this is common sense.
Let me break it down for you since you’re still confused.
Player 1 has item listed at 10 million.
Player 2 has item listed at 9.5
Player 3 lists item at 9

Now Player 3 holds the top spot for SO. Nobody else wants to relist because the relist fees will remove most of their profit margin. So once Player 3’s SO sell through what do they do? They make another SO at 9 million which means DING DING, they continue to hold the top spot until someone else swoops in and undercuts (which always happens).
Not in my market it’s not. This is probably why you’re so confused.
Such an ignorant thing to say. Considering how confused you were understanding holding a “top spot”, I’m not really surprised you’d say this.
Listing new items will cost the main fees, you also undercut your own first order too, its even more far away from being sold and last: you only have a limited amount of orders and each order should bring some profit sooner or later.
The “Tick” mechanism is currently a bit broken. The market will charge the broker fees for a new price, but then not make the change if it does not differ by a tick. The broker fees should not be charged if the new price is not accepted.
The simple fact you said this is undeniable proof you have zero reading comprehension. You’ve literally been arguing over a misunderstanding that you’re unwilling to admit and claiming I misunderstand logic as a result of… your failure to understand my post. Amazing. How do I vote you for CSM?
What if it’s not profitable? Then what do they do?
Well, obviously they list their own items at 9 million and wait before another 9 million order sells.
If it is also not profitable, they already cannot make profit with that item, since that other person can and will sell at 9 million indefinitely.
That is not true. It makes perfect sense in an environment where ONLY the top spot sells and buys and where there is NO differentiation between items as items are exact clones. If there were differentiating elements in the market and between products and if you did not have to be at the top spots to buy/sell, .01-isking would not make much sense. The way it is now, it is the most intelligent and logical thing to do in the market.
If CCP had actually introduced possibilities to make intelligent choices, market changes would be fine. The way it is, there are no intelligent choices. There are only dumb and dumber choices.
