a item can only be posted under max. 3% of the previous posted item. this would prevent loses for each player.
before selling items above 650m. give the player a warning, to ask the community about prices. some items are sold for much more then exc. max. limit ...
advanced verification during selling
advanced search doffs and bos by traits
advanced search weapons by traits(mods)

My low pricing is up to me not you.
If you can't pay attention that's on you
No to #2.
Paying attention to market conditions and taking your time is your job not mine.
#3 seems OK.
I can already do #4.
and it just Disgust me, that some of them bragging about thier "achievements" in chat and\or ts's ...
So if I list a medium hypo for 650M, the game should give me a warning that it might be worth more? However, if I list it for 649,999,999, then I shouldn't get that warning?
Good idea. Nothing new or extraordinary but a longstanding good idea.
Which weapons have traits?
This is Star Trek Online, not Soros & Ichan Online. Letting people TRIBBLE others on the market might make a few people happy, but it hurts the player base as a whole
thnks my point for the first two suggestions. yours is better do
For example, last week I was cleaning out some mirror ships. I dumped them on the exchange for 2 mil each. one person bought them all in like 2 minutes.If i would have posted them for the 4 to 5 mil most ppl price them at, I would still have them today.
Some people seem to enjoy playing Bloomberg Commodity Trader 2017 in their MMOs. It's the "pvp" that they enjoy. I might not understand why they like it, but if it's what they enjoy....? /shrug
(what's annoying is games that force that on you. I've been playing a bit of Elder Scrolls Online.... there's no central auction house, just "trade guilds". Who have to bid money periodically on better locations for their publicly accessible Trade NPCs. Which means that they have to charge their members dues in order to raise that bid money. Which means you *have* to be a successful auction wheeler-dealer to make enough money for both your dues and a profit. Anyone who doesn't enjoy that kind of stuff is stuck hawking their wares in general chat, or just vendoring all their loot to make some gold. STO's exchange is vastly better for the average player.)
...and, of course, the auction moguls defend that system to the death, because it plays to their advantage. If everyone could participate in the economy it would lower overall prices for things and they would profit less.
...no, I'm not bitter about this at all.
No. That is almost similar to real life price fixing which is considered illegal.
Not necessary. If a high priced item does not sell, the seller will eventually realize that perhaps he or she is listing it for too much EC.
Have been suggested before. I assume you meant "weapons by mods". The Exchange could benefit from boolean search functions.
type "phase beam [dmg" and find all phaser beam weapons with a [dmg] mod
type "plas [crtd]" and find all plasma weapons with a [crtd] mod
type "tet bea arr xiv" and find all mk xiv tetryon beam arrays
These are all examples of things that would work fine in SWtOR's exchange, but do not work in STO's exchange.
I reserve the right to sell Master Keys for 1 EC if I really wanted to.
If players are concerned about accidentally listing something on the Exchange for a price far less than what others players are selling it for, then they need to pay attention to the selling price they are entering before actually clicking the "Post" button.
This. I mean, it's really not difficult to count how many times you're pressing the zero key ...
instead of them only showing up after you've clicked somewhere OTHER than the price box
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
anyways op i like your idea but its just to little to late , maybe cryptic can try it on console since right now the console economy isnt to well established but on PC , it just wouldnt work.
Why? Because your sour grapes should have ZERO impact on this, and my doing so has ZERO impact on your gaming.
You only care about this because you likely made a posting error and got mad, and you also apparently can't afford the nicer things on the exchange....things that are not required to play.
1) Remove the Fighter category from under the Starship Equips. All fighters are now bound to character so this category is superfluous.
2) Take all the normal/rare/elite reward packages and add them to a separate category from the normal "Reward Tab"
3) Put all Reward Ships into its own unique category. This would include Mirror, Lockbox, Promo, and Lobi ship listings.
How about a big hell no. Very clear you have no grasp of what a free market is. I can only guess there was a shiney on the exchange you wanted and you didn't have the EC to buy it but someone else did.
sounds more to me like he accidentally sold a key for 500k instead of 5mil

Didn't think about that one. I've done that myself and took it as a lesson to double check before clicking. Like a level in Lemmings whose title says "careless clicking costs lives." in this case "Careless clicking costs EC."
That would be handy. Soooo many zeros in some exchange prices in this game.
Lag denied your Heal
What happened to my Halon consoles
Poni?
and don't ya worry. with 6 years of experience i make enough loot. without sitting whole day in front of the exc.
Players need to take the responsibility to verify their own selling price before posting it on the Exchange.
You cannot expect to go through life with someone else always holding a security blanket for you simply because you do not wish deal with the consequences of being careless.
Have you ever bought or sold stock before in the real world? There is typically a field in which you enter the price per share you wish to buy or sell stock. A mistake there can be very costly if you do not verify the price you wish to buy or sell.
