Down side ?
Some people lose their ability to play with luck charms and alchemical silver ?

Oh, yeah its another venue closed for the people that view the market as their personal domains. A plus as far as I am concerned

Edit most people wouldn't like the pricing I would set
50K commons
150K uncs
4mil rare

But I suspect guaranteed instant fills would be worth it for many.
Good point on it being a better influence sink than the market. I wouldn't mind your pricing if it were a factor of 10x higher. That would provide a high enough ceiling that people could play around in trading the space, but still give those who have to buy it now an outlet.

Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a *real* useful invention. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...t-sarcasm.html

I am curious as to if the AE farmers pay any attention to the rare salvage prices. During Monkey Fest the markets got flooded, but I suspect that was more because no one wanted to bother with anything other than insta sales.

Pangean Soils trading at 20mm would definitely get interest from the AE crowd (probably at 10mm, I have not run any kind of break even). so a 40mm cap would be more than sufficient.

Of course, my stance is against anything else being buyable from stores. This game is in its mature stages, and not getting a lot of new players. The new players we get probably don't understand the system. sounds like a great opportunity for old players to squeeze out some influence by running lowbies.

Mature is understating it. Just from playing the I19 changes it feels like the game was a cancer patient and the devs decided to adrenaline and morphine to the drip.
