I think part of it is cuz a lot of the people who are on the market are basically professional traders and are all looking to "win" trades by arbitraging this spread, so are tacking on an extra 50 or 100k when it's not really necessary.

One other prob is also that volume is down because of the clan armoury. Right now you can't trade items that you have deposited into your clan armoury, which means you have to choose between letting clanmates enjoy surplus heirlooms or trying to trade them. I think a lot of people are just leaving them in armoury while they try to broker trades on forums which is less efficient.

Auction with no tax or a nominal tax should be the only means of exchanging items.

There's basically two hypotheses in this thread:

1) The OP - the marketplace is a conglomeration of scammers looking to make unreasonable profits off of suckers.

and 2) people who disagree - the marketplace is a result of market forces shaping the value of X item relative to Y item.

In either case or a combination of both, why not just let the auction system do all the work? Auction is simpler than a convoluted system of clicking through hundreds of items to see what is being offered for what, auction works more quickly, and auction prevents scamming people with terrible offers. The only people who can possibly defend the current market system are scammers and people with the unreasonable expectation that an item can be sold at above market-value prices based on their personal sentimental attachment.

Because you have to put your gold into the auction just to have them withdraw the offer is why the auction system doesn't do all of the work.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I don't think they understand that the chance and community chest cards go face down.

cRPG is FUN because of the retirements and as reward LP so if they get removed why playing for nothing?
If you play for that,then stop playing it while u still can save ur time.
I have 3 body armors,one gloves,one shield,one sword mw and every fool in this game have at elast 2-3 mw items so you don't have any advantage for having those.
You just waisted ur life on shit where you after playing over one year and grinding over 16 gens can't beat half of community in duel,and getting raped by archers,high lvl 2h heroes and golden horde of lancers every time u are on eu1.
Go for lvl 31+ and play when you are realy boored and don't have anything to do.
Grinding doesn't pay off,and it is so fustrating and it takes too long and doesn't give you any advantage since only old players play this mod and they have over 10 looms each.
If you ask me i would remove grind,looms and multi system. it is all crap.
