This will never happen and it's mostly for the same reasons that we banned market bots and other 3rd party automation.


With bots, a big issues was that some users were put on unequal footing compared to others when selling items. Those with bots could just sit back, afk, whatever and still be competitive in the market.

Bigger than that though is just the principle of the market as a whole. The point of it here is to allow a quick and easy way for users to sell items to other users in cases where they don't really care to haggle or negotiate the trade and so where a thread in the market board wouldn't fit the purpose.

That ties into the other main reason we banned market automation. We don't want to particularly encourage this hardcore marketing and profiting that seems to get more and more popular. What really gets me is that you don'tseem to really care about things like 'market accessibility'. You're after profit and ways to make it bigger. It's pretty self serving and illustrates my point. The reason you're finding troubles while marketing is that you aren't using the market as intended. No one is ever really supposed to be trying to sell 3000 items at once.

You might say that what we're looking for is directly in condradiction to how an open market works by nature and that what we want is ideological, aspirational and downright impossible but we'd still rather go for that than a clusterfuck marketing minigame on the forum - which is what the market as a whole gets treated as by some.

In a game where the market is a big part and customisation is so heavily featured this kind of market system isn't the aim. As I said up the top of this post the market is there to provide a quick and easy way to buy an sell items. So sure, feel free to go through and lower your items manually and be competitive but it's not particularly in line with our philosophy so we won't be doing anything to encourage it.

As I said in the market bot discussions way back, if a marketing game is what you want you'll probably have more fun and success playing something like Eve online or even irl stocks. :s
