Blaster Secondary: Market Manipulation


BackFire

 

Posted

T1: Fix Price (salvage immobilize) The price of the targeted common salvage is immobilized, forcing people to pay at least as much as the last sale price no matter how many items are listed for 1 inf.
T2: Fire Sale (item -price, moderate sale) The targeted recipe or salvage is listed for 60% of the current going rates, and your next bid on it over that number is guaranteed to be filled.
T3: Rollback (email rollback) The last three emails you claimed reappear in your inbox.
T4: Bid Creep (item -price, moderate sale) You bid on multiple levels of the same item, bidding low amounts. 60% chance for each bid to fill.
T5: Save Up (self +inf) The inf you acquire continues to accumulate, and you are not forced to spend it all the moment you get it.
T6: Crafting Table (recipe -price, enhancement +price) You are able to craft things from recipes and salvage, while opponents are only able to buy enhancements.
T7: Math Is Hard (foe -clue) Basic market economics is too hard to understand, your opponents have to type random numbers and push buttons with their eyes closed.
T8: New Niche (item -forsale, +price) Someone got bored and stopped working a niche, profit margins increase by 20%.
T9: Gleemail (self -inf, +inf (special)) You can mail inf to yourself to get around the inf cap.

Clearly, people must be using this.

The crash from the tier 9 power sure is a pain if you leave inf in your inbox during server maintenance.

I could have sworn I got hit by Keyslip the other day. You know, the one that makes you hit one extra digit when entering a buy price?

Enjoy your meeellion dollahs, Mr. Yellow Recipe Seller!

Or mouseslip, like when I drug an Obliteration worth 30 million to the market window, but accidently let go while my pointer is on another player's toon. I see a local tell: "Thank You!!!". I told him I thought I'd accidently gave him an IO I wanted to keep. Long Pause, then: "I don't have it..." and he runs out.

Merry Christmas, Jerk

I always give stuff back if people say it was an accident (and I ask them), but if it's blue side, I tell them to be glad this didn't happen red side. (In fact, I just go OOC briefly to hand stuff back.)

That's quite possibly true.

He may have already sold it.

Why did he run out? It's not like there's open world PvP, and you could have given him a beat-down and then searched his corpse for your missing items

I have no idea why he ran. Hopefully it was his dang guilty conscious making him wanna hide
