Greetings,
We have just released a devblog summarizing upcoming changes to the mechanics around creating and updating orders on the in-game market. Please feel free to use this thread to discuss and provide your feedback to the Development Team.
Commenting just on margin trading:
The margin trading scam depending on the client lying to a player. This was bad.
you can price something at 0.01 isk if you want. That’s 3 significant figures.
you cannot price something at 100.01 isk. That would require 5. Once you go above 100 isk, your minimum increment is 0.1 isk. once you’re above 1000 isk, it’a 1 isk. etc etc
The Broker Relations update will be launching 10 March, and included in the release will be changes to the mechanics around creating and updating orders on the in-game market.
Last summer, permanent changes to both the sales taxes and broker fees for the market were implemented. Having monitored player behavior before and after these summer changes to taxes & fees, further alterations to the market will be made.
The intent behind these upcoming changes is to support a healthy and live open market, allowing competition to remain fair between players. The prohibited use of automation techniques used by malicious players on the in-game market is a frequent subject of discussion, so there is absolute commitment to fighting bots in New Eden. Needless to say, the market and the behaviors of players when these changes go live will be closely monitored.
