Whether that's good or bad is a matter of opinion. Some people think the playing field should be fair, some think advantages exist to be exploited. Most people are somewhere in the middle.(12-12-2014, 07:39 PM)Yhen Yizeh Wrote: It's hardly "predatory" or "trollish" as you put it.

Supply and demand, my dear.Â
If you're going to be passive-aggressive about me selling my plot, go ahead and buy the other small plot!
Oh wait.
Actually, I was calling the Eve community (And I've played Eve off and on for a decade, so I do know about it) predatory and trolling. I very specifically said I wasn't singling you out. In fact, I took pains to call out that it's been going on long enough that your sale of your plot was an accepted thing.
If we want to be the sort of community that feels that this is acceptable, then that's our choice. And we, as a community, will still have a long ways to go before I'll draw serious parallels with the Eve community.
But if someone is getting upset at simply having their activity appropriately labeled, that's a personal issue.
As far as the subject at hand, there doesn't seem like much too be done without dev interference, other than simply hoping the market reaches an equilibrium that's more fair to buyers than it presently is.
