Ye. I honestly think it's not working as it should, so let me explain what's wrong with it.
When I put something for sale at a ridiculously low price, like the 1 GP shown on the picture, and if there are numerous buy offers for the same item, I should always get money equivalent to the highest BUY offer. So for example, if there were buy offers at 100k, 200k, 300k, 500k and 1M, I should get 1M cash instead of that 1 GP I put it for sale at.
Currently, if the price I set my item for sale at is less than whatever any of the BUY offers are, I will only get the GP equivalent to the offer I did. I have absolutely no idea what may possibly happen at the other end of the trade, maybe they get the item + all the cash back minus the one GP.
This should also apply vice versa, as it probably does, since I get money back from buying an item with a really high price. When BUYING an item, the system should always make the player get the item with the CHEAPEST price.
More examples:
This prevents selling items quickly for a reasonable price. You HAVE to manually try to find a good price by setting an item for sale at high price, aborting it and lowering it a bit by bit.
In RS, if I wanted to get rid of something fast, I can put an item for sale at 1 GP with absolutely no worries since I know I will always get the highest price possible that any player has offered for the said item.
So, the basic 4 rules of GE:
- When selling an item while there are existing buy offers for it, it will be sold for the highest available offer at the time (IF sale price < buy offer)
- When buying an item while there are existing sales, it will be bought for the cheapest price available at the time (IF buy offer > sale price)
- IF sale price > any of the available buy offers (=the items doesn't sell instantly), it will become a sale and the item can only be sold when it becomes the cheapest sale in GE
- IF buy offer < sale price (=the items doesn't buy instantly), it will become a buy offer and the item can only be bought when it becomes the highest offer in GE
My grammar probably sucks der cuz I found explaining this surprisingly hard but I hope yall get muh point. Currently the base prices can be manipulated down to oblivion with no effort whatsoeverThe following users liked this post: Ironman Tim
