Love how people constantly think that buying things has nothing do to at all with who are the only people ALLOWED TO makes and SET the prices for people to buy.Sales, SALES, are open to everyone. Everyone can go to a guild trader and buy something.
Give us one single reason why prices from "all people" without guilds would be different form those from the same people but when they are in guilds, Mr. It's-100%-false.
Both TTC and MM are not getting actual market data when the only people being allowed to post things for sale are people in guilds
I explicitly explained that in detail in the topic, which you totally ignored.
The major flaw in your entire argument is saying that "guilds" price things. They do not, players participating in the economy price things, guilds do not price anything. Heck, I was a VERY active trader in numerous high end trade guilds, not once did my guilds tell me what to price things at, as a matter of fact, guildmates will undercut each other... that is what sets the market value, not some imaginary guild cabal.
Now I run a guild with a decent trader, I do not tell folks what to price things at, it is 100% up to them. If they want to sell cheap for a quick sale, more power to them. If they want to price high and risk losing their listing fee, up to them as well.
Join a guild and pay your dues for a trader. Easier than posting a long rant on the forums.
No I didn't, because you totally ignored this entire post and what it's about. You're trying to manipulate what EVERYONE being able to sell things on the guild trader means by saying just create a guild which means you didn't even read the topic.
That is 100% false.Everyone is able to participate in guilds. Even sales in guilds that don't have traders (guilds who are only listing and selling to one another) are taken into account in TTC.There absolutely is.There's nothing barring any player from joining a guild and trading.
if you seriusly believe anyone cna put anything on the guild trader then prove it...I want you with no excuses do the following:
Create a level 1 and Do not join a guild, instead once in the game go directly to any guild trader and take an item in your inventory list it for sale on the guild trader.
Anyone trying to say anyone can sell things on a trader is both straight up delusional, and a liar because they can't without being in a guild.
If you say anyone can do it you just have to be in a guild, then just defeated your own arugment because this is about EVERYONE being able to sell things on the guild trader..not just guild members which is exactly what i said.
The definition of anyone being able to sell things on a guild trader means even people who are not in guilds.
If anyone can do what I just explained I'll redact this entire post.
Wrong!Ttc checks items that are up for sale, but no yet sold, and provides data: location, seller, price etc.Mm takes the data after said item is ACTUALLY SOLD and then records the event.
Quite a big difference.

Who types in the price on the guild trader? GUILD MEMBERS no one else. And that is why your argument falls apart.
You're taking one sided data, from a 2 sided data equation and trying to argue a 2 sided argument, using 1 side.
So let me say this, in order for anyone to say ACCURATE Data or market value YOU MUST 100% Remove the guild requirement from guild traders and make them an auction house so no one needs to be in a guild to post and sell something.
Until then, you and everyone else will be completely wrong when you say average market or going rate.
The only market that exists right now is a guild market not an actual market

That is a load of *** because the price used in guilds is brought out into the zone chat so it's the same thing. You still used the same price. Which means you didn't do anything.Both TTC and MM are not getting actual market data when the only people being allowed to post things for sale are people in guilds
I explicitly explained that in detail in the topic, which you totally ignored.
Actually, that statement is 100% false. I buy stuff individuals post on TTC outside of guild traders all the time. A simple search will generally just turn up someone's @name among the listings, those are people not in guilds who have listed their items for sale via TTC. So the entire premise that TTC is only based on guild trader data is 100% false.
Get your facts straight.

*sigh*
It's so depressing watching the death of logic in today's Twitter addled society.
Statement: "There's nothing barring any player from joining a guild and trading."
Assertion: "There absolutely is."
Proof: "Create a level 1 and Do not join a guild, ... go directly to any guild trader and ... list [an item] for sale on the guild trader."
I've seen this argument pattern so many, many times lately. Proving a statement is wrong by....not doing what the statement said to do......
And because I've seen this play out so many times, I also know what comes next. Think I'll pass on repeating myself over and over and over and over this time.
Both TTC and MM are not getting actual market data when the only people being allowed to post things for sale are people in guilds
I explicitly explained that in detail in the topic, which you totally ignored.
The only way to get real market pricing is to stop allowing guilds to be the only people allowed to post things for sale.
Unless that happens then the only pricing being done are from guilds which means it' a one sided market.

You cannot have guilds as the only way to sell things, while people should be able to sell things on their own without being in a guild, then really believe there is some actual market
Remove the guild only selling restriction from the traders and allow everyone to use it at will with no guild involvement, then come talk to me about a market.
Guilds monopolizing the market for pricing means there is no market.
People that aren't in guilds need to be allowed to post things for sale on the traders asa well as guild members.At this point I'd start to get afraid of getting dragged down and beaten with experience.
In order for people to say the phrase market or going rate the data from both people in guilds and not in guilds must be used because there are 2 sets of data, and right now only 1 of those 2 is being used which is guilds only.
You cannot have a market when there are 2 sets of data needed and one is being excluded

I clearly stated that individuals, who are NOT in guilds, list items and make sales on TTC at whatever price they so choose.
Which are set by guild members so ti's irrelevant.
Which part of that was incomprehensible to you? Basically, it is the same as posting in zone chat, except they are not dumb enough to waste their time doing that, they simply make a post and sell their items if anyone is buying at that price.
Yes they are because the only way prices can be set in guild traders IS BY A GUILD MEMBERMarket prices aren't solely set by guild members per Se.
