ok here is my point
our market place is a paradise for
scammers capitalists and additionally is producing leechers/semi leechers in this game which is supposed to be a battle game.
suggestion :
make fixed loom prices like 300k - 400k per loom point put on market.
You cannot apply 1+2+3 loom value here without taking into account that each loom brings you closer to the maximum possible +3, thus giving each weapon state much increased price.
valid objection there ... so it might be better to have fixed loom tier price like
+1 ~ 300k
+2 ~ <+1> + 350k = 650k
+3 ~ <+2> + 400k = 1050k
?
additionally one might state that the plain item price should be added to the loom cost so it would result in:
loom tier price + plain item price.
reason:
i dislike peasant clothed wooden stick wearing chars laughting in my face while i try to do the job on the balltefield.
not that i wouldnt understand there are reasons for wearing low gear sometimes ,its even fun for me to do so sometimes but ... the overall tendency and temptation for leeching is fun breaking and thats not even the worst kind of greed produced by the current market place implementation. the only thing marketplace interface offers is a look on overpriced items aiming to rise the profit you can make in the marketplace forum! thats what newbies are faced with.
scamming fooling new community members became a normality in this current market place... resulting in a bad picture newbies get from the game.
also there is actual prices for loom points and some gear .. that make me only laugh in a sick way.
i am one lvling 31+ (2h) and if i wear a decent gear i have really low gold income even if i give my best it is not really worthwhile. i need about a month or more to earn the gold for a new +1 loomed weapon or for one loompoint to put on my gear (playing each day!).
im not even complaining about the low lvl restricted loom exchange from alts (sacrifice) introduced in last patch that dont benefit high lvl chars. im fine with it.
but the tendencies and implications with this current market place for the community make me
sad mad. and i still want to get payed for my work.
so :
stop promoting scamming and leeching
make fixed loom prices
until we get a marketplace interface which grants overview over the "real" prices.
for the sake of the community

what exactly do you mean by scammers?
i mb have overgeneralized this term scamming there which means exploiting bugs to actually "steal" from other players afaik.sorry for that ... lets call it cheat or trick or fool someone.
what i meant is that the unconnected market place (the place where ppl believe to see the current prizes for items) from trade post section in forum(where the real
crime trade take place) is the gap that enables players to grow their item prices to the sky. the real trades made are barely the ones where someone puts a honest offer on the market and waits until someone buys the item. real trades are made in the trader forum and only see the market place for a very short period of time ; thats after parties have agreed about the price in the trader forum. yet the character page market place is the place new members will believe to see the current prizes for items!
imagin me putting a mw long dagger on the market for 2mill gold (where i never believe someone will buy it for that silly price) and also offering it on the trade forum as an auction not really argeeing to any good offer. this is already a faked offer. you can bet that others will jump on the train and rise their prices for mw long daggers in the following time. and i will sell my long dagger for a price way over its actual worth if i only wait long enough.
it also works the other way around where you make silly cheap payment offers to new forum traders and make them believe their items are not worth much. i know this happens! then you only need to wait until the new trader will possibly sell you the item for a very cheap price... especially rare items which are not easy to find in the market suffer a reference value prize.
thus the trader forum unconnected from market place supports heavy prize manipulation since there is no indepedent price reference list.
not at last this system heavily reflects on the loom point prizes btw.
i dont blame the traders to exploit this system since its only natural to do so yet im tired of it...ty
