I've looked around and I haven't seen any rule or variation of a rule that stops people from obviously (not necessarily intentionally) skewing the market and values for items.
I understand that this is a free market with no set prices and some people value items differently than others but it drives me crazy when, for example: Majority of people are selling 35 to 40 SITS for a gc then all of a sudden a single person decides to sell 60 SITS for a gc and drives the value for SITS way down as everyone has to now compete with that person in order to sell.
And I also see quite frequently where the general consensus for an item may be 2 GC but then someone sells that item for 3 or 4 GC with their only reason for upping the price being "That's just how I value it" with no other discernible reason that follows with the supply and demand of the item.
I'm not trying to say that people do this on purpose but I would like some way to try and report a trade thread that seems a substantial amount off from the current market value so a mod can overlook it and either remove the thread or advise the op to edit it accordingly. And if someone or a group of people is found to be doing it intentionally in some kind of "insider trading" system then they should definitely be banned.
I hope this makes sense. I'm not sure exactly how this can be dealt with but I figured I would at least get people to start thinking about it a little and brainstorm some kind of idea to fix it.
