Can the powers that be please explain why the exchange isn't policed?
Our credit allowance is caped at 10,000,000 & yet some people post items for sale above that price. Obviously they will never sell an item at such a price, so are they really that stupid?
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

Instead of calling sellers stupid, you should ask "How can I buy something for over 10M EC?" Or are you asking for Cryptic to stop ppl who have bought the EC cap increase to not be allowed to sell items to others that have bought the EC cap increase? You might as well ask Cryptic to disallow Cstore ships from being used in game.

That cap on your ec is an ftp thing.
You can, for 500 zen, increase it dramatically

Buying the cap increase, and the account bank, are usually considered the most important qol purchases you can buy.

Why would they police that? You can buy an ec cap increase to raise your cap. As such,some people will pay that much for certain items, because they are not constrainted by the 10milll ec cap.
I cannot start a discussion myself so I am hoping that one of you who read this could do it if you agree with my idea. It would be nice to have some set prices for items and my reason is this...
If I have an item worth one million and I post it for one million it usually doesn't take long before others post that same item a bit cheaper to sell it faster. Before you know the item is down to five hundred thousand. So if you're someone like me who doesn't want to bring the market down then lets try and do something about it. Maybe some kind of policing so that we don't devallue items and we can get paid for what it's worth
Eh, nope. Free market. If you don't like the prices that other sellers are posting items for, then don't engage in a price war with them. If that means your item has to sit on the exchange for two weeks before the natural rise and fall cycle on the price goes through so it'll sell at your price instead of cheaper then that's the cost of doing business.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

It is incredibly stupid and arrogant to think all these sellers are selling items that cannot possibly sell. LOL. Any intelligent person would ask themselves how other people are buying things.

If it's "worth" 1 million EC, someone will buy it for that much. If it sells for less, then by free-market principles, it obviously isn't worth 1 million EC.

It shouldn't be policed. Its a free market. As long there is buyers willing to pay for that price. It will be sold as such. However if no takers, eventually it will come down. Or you get enough to start cutting each other and drives it down that way. Via flooding the market with it.
No they are not stupid. Far from it, as they are making serious EC from the ones who is willing to spend it. If I could on some items, I would be doing it too.
I take it your new to the game. There is a zen store purchase to increase your EC cap. I hadn't done mine yet, as I hadn't reached the cap yet. After they fixed the EC on vendor items, I doubt I will hit it for a very long time yet.

I'm looking on the exchange right now and i'm trying to buy this item called "Common Sense" but it costs 10,000,001 EC but i only have 10,000,000 EC and i cant go any higher so it wont let me buy the item. Can somebody help me out with this conundrum?
wow. Your signature or what ever you call it suggests you're "old" so one would think that with age comes wisdom. To actually point out you're smarter then an other.... I certainly will not insult you for what you said. At your age you should be able to figure out your mistake
I'm surprised that no one had mentioned that the OP's username is "stonewbie' which lends to suggest that he wouldn't know those finer points. I don't believe the harshness was warranted in this post.

do what I do. By the lower cost items then resell them for the higher price. That's the only kind of policing on the exchange. you have to do it yourself.

But I do wonder why he did not stop and think how something could be posted on the exchange that cost's more than the upper limit.
Either way, I hope he will put it down to a learning experience
No need to call anyone stupid from either side.
