Now on that topic of "price-gouging": if it's gouging, then why are people buying at those prices?they could still sell these items, just at whatever price the npc sells them for..
so basically then you condone price gouging and scripters?
there is no reason that 1 10 charge bottle of pof should be worth 250k-500k.. yet on atl i bet you that is all you will find. if you can even find any for sale at all..
and the reason the prices are so high is because someone goes around and buys them all up, then puts them back on a vendor for twice what they bought them for..
this does not help the economy at all.
If someone is able to sell something for twice the price, then the original purchase price was low, and it's still worth that gold to someone.
Don't like it at that price, then don't buy it.
P.S. Did you ever consider that if players sell at the same price as your NPC proposal, then there would be no reason for buyers to bother looking for a player vendor? Even a difference of 5% might not be enough to have a player bother looking for a player vendor, not when an NPC is ready to sell something out of an infinite supply. You may think a jar of powder isn't worth 130K (a 10-pack on Atlantic is going for 1.3 million), but somebody does. You're being outbid on a commodity of relative scarcity.
And what about in the future when gold is worth even less? Will NPCs be programmed to increase prices, like with ingots and boards? Or will you think "there is no reason that 1 10 charge bottle of pof" should be worth more than, what, 50K or 75K?
