Day 2, market still hasn’t collapsed. Could it be that prophet @John_Marcuss was wrong and doesn’t know anything? How is that possible? He used NUMBERS!!

> Original item sell price: 1 317 000 isk / unit
> 
> price of setting an order of buying 20 units: 937 000 isk  
> cost of updating an order of that size appx: 16 000 isk update cost  
> 400 000 isk brokers fee

How could he be wrong? How is it that the market hasn’t collapsed yet? I bet it’s the work of DEEP STATE.

@John_Marcuss was SO CONFIDENT, that he spammed MULTIPLE THREADS!!

Tbh its pretty clear that i overreacted about the economy changes and tho my math was correct, my assumptions were not. I do however stand by the fact that this has made trading somewhat less profitable (but thats likely a good thing, since you could make well over 200m per few hours when starting from essentially scratch).

HOw cOuLD HE Be wrONg?!?
