Sniz 60 Report post Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I love undercuts, especially knucklehead ones that make no sense. Why? Because I can laugh at how furious I get at a game. Go to a drive thru and get gypped a 4 piece chick mcnug? sure ill huff and puff. Go to a ballgame and have to pay $9 for a beer...comon, its bud light for god sake. Thats real money. But undercut like a dope on the AH (for virtual currency) and I go Apocalyptic. (Or if im at work, just grit my teeth and curse under my breath for an hour). I'd like to see if anyone is interested in sharing any recent examples of market ruining, rage inducing undercutting. Thanks in advance.

Sniz 60 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 So this happened on my server caused not by one individual but multiple individuals who apparently have blinders on. Deadly Deep Ambers were going for 300g a pop, pretty steadily a week before last on my server. Very nice way to recoup the price of ore. Anyway, somebody comes in and posts one single stack of 50! of them for 49g each. I thought to myself "who is going to buy 50 cut gems? So I simply post to undercut the next lowest price single. Still around 300 and they were selling. But the next guy undercuts the 50 stack with singles, then the next guy, then the next guy. The 50 stack never sold, it just expired, and is gone but the market for this gem is now Just reset to basically cost. Ots been like that since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peelyon 416 Report post Posted October 5, 2016 Some players do it intentionally to crash the market so the material prices drop - bit rubbish but sometimes kills competition too :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At first i thought he was doing the ol'bait and buy, where you post a stack of something that doesnt sell in stacks at an extremely low price, in order to buy undercuts from people who either have an undercut addon without min price settings or people that dont know any better. But he never bought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valks 2,375 Report post Posted October 13, 2016 Sometimes people also do it because they have an amount of gold in their mind that they want. So they want, for example, 500 gold ASAP. They post on the Auction House and think that they if they post is as cheaply as possible, it will sell faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with med volume markets, like gems, they will just sit until the next guy undercuts by 25%. Then the original guy undercuts again. Its annoying to watch cut gems fall below the cost if raws. Something is inherenty wrong with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grubbel 3 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 Unless it's something that sells instant like ore's, herb's etc i usully undercut by a margin, just to get it sold. Either the ones that have the patient to deal with AH buy it, or a lucky dude that get it for a lower price. Im not greedy what so ever, i see everything i loot and sell as a profit. Even tho it yields me less gold than if i had patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 5,239 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 I have buyout set for all undercuts, so if an item is up for 10-15% lower than ~avg market price. I buy all stacks and resell @market price. I don't need to sell all my stuff overnight and in the end it's free gold for me :D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raw gems have other uses to JC and for that matter, most other crafting professions in this xpac. And the recipes to cut them are very easy to get. It's not like Pandaria where they were locked behind a rep grind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oceola 4 Report post Posted April 6, 2018 First off, I undercut every chance I get. The outrageous greed I see going on, especially in the last several years, is in my opinion, the worst addiction in WoW. What I find amusing is this is just a stupid game w/ virtual currency! "If I can't make it, farm it, or obtain it in dungeons or quests, I probably won't waste virtual currency on feeding someone's greed. Talk about an addiction! I suspect many of these greedy types have real problems and issues. I almost exclusively play lvl 19 & 29 RBG's for a number of reasons, which I won't go in to. Finally, I have to laugh at blizziod's stupidity in allowing this to happen... and they wonder why many players, over the years, have quit WoW. They just can't afford the time and overwhelming real costs associated w/ buying game gold to keep up. I also suspect blizziod is receiving revenue kick-backs from Chinese virtual currency providers, leveling services, and item providers, for most of their other games. I did not spend much time reading through most of this commentary, but I'm sure there are some worthwhile things said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
