do you gals have a 25% loss when removing stuff from the market?

also, putting a max on how long things can stay on the market is a good idea.

at rwl we're considering having a more transparent market where you can see who has what on the market. here on FaF it would mean you could easily buy your enamy's army off the market and then steal your money back ('cause it's really flippin easy to steal money with armies here, heh)

Sales go into your Savings, not your publicly viewable money. This is both to protect anonymity of the market (net jumps after purchases), and to prevent the kind of behaviour you detail.

It's been like that for 2-2.5 years now. Or longer.

1: I don't think we have a single female player here...
2: It varies based on net, but it's like 15% - 30%.

Why? We've got a better idea as to how to kill market storing, if that's what you're thinking...

90% Pullback commission and price adjustability. Allows people to adjust prices so stuff sells, and so they don't have to take any sort of pullback commission if it doesn't sell quickly enough. At the same time, you lose so much on the pullback commission, it isn't even worth trying to market store.
