As it seems a few players are having fun placing very large CE wall on the market, I would like to propose a market access fee, 1% of the crown or CE amount would be withheld from the remaining part of any order that is cancelled and not excited by the system.
CE market access fee
There is already a fee taken during the transaction from the CE vendor.
Also, when you make an offer for buying, and you remove the offer again, you won't get your original amount of crowns back.
@little-juances no at the moment there is a fee for a successful transaction, and you get all your CE/Money back if you cancel, this means people keep walls of CE on the market they are not intending to sell often canceling them to move them up and down.
It gets clotted up and there's a fee. Why not the trade/uh.. I forgot whats its called... the first tab -- anyways... There! =)
What he wants, is to hinder people putting up walls of 24 million crowns.
Take this, for example, and notice the 3000 bids for energy. http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/559818104605668493/38102A289B62D68C74B...
3000 people don't all bid for energy; someone is making it rain crowns on the energy market. Our friend Oolon does not like this, and wants for OOO to step in and fix it by making it so that the crowns that the mysterious maker of this great wall places are torn to bits when he goes to move his great wall. This would prevent him from sliding his great wall up to 9 and then later 10 thousand per 100 ce.
I do not like this idea, as it would be annoying and would prevent the market from flexing quite a bit. No one wants to lose out, and so people would not be so likely to bid and outbid each other. It would be a nice crown sink, but an annoying one... kind of like "hooray! The auction house absorbs our crowns when we trade with other players?" Yes, it helps things, no it isn't friendly. I also feel that our mysterious and wealthy friend has somewhat a right to do this. After all "Players control the market", right? It has been advertised to us, and he is fulfilling it.
If someone can make a wall of 24 million crowns, he can also throw away that small 1%, wich he'll end up recovering in the end.
We already have something similar
seller loses 2%
