Implement a Maximum on the # of GB that can be listed in a GB sale at a time.

So, I'm sure we've all seen GB sales at the moment. Nobody is going to have the SB to afford a bundle of 100+ GB. These sales are clearly listed in order to 'brag' about one's wealth - not out of any actual desire to sell their GB, and flood and clog up the GB sales tab.

My suggestion is simple. Limit the amount of GB that can be listed for sale specifically in the GB sales, NOT the trading center at a maximum of 50 GB per sale. 50 GB is still a very high limit, but somebody having ~50k SB is much more feasible than somebody, say, having 400k on hand.




This suggestion has 158 supports and 2 NO supports.

SLAMMING that support button. I've never understood listing so much GB when there's such a small portion of users who could actually buy it out. It's ridiculous, annoying, & clogs the GB sales because they list such an insane amount of GB for significantly less than a single GB is selling for.

from what i've heard, these bundles exist to try and keep the conversion rate of sb to gb low - the idea being that people will see the bundles selling at, say, 950 sb per gb, and price their singular gb below that to avoid inflation. not a flex, just an attempt at maintaining a steady rate.

HOWEVER, this seems largely ineffective, and since it's clearly not making appropriate use of the gb selling feature, i don't think it should be allowed, so i support this.

Legally speaking, a person who also has a Bundle of GB can sell 10GB each until they have enough SB to buy out the GB. Either creates a loophole or I have something ridiculous.

Anyways, supported.

I disagree about the purpose. Each of the accounts I've seen listing the huge quantities seem to have mountains of comments on their den, usually making fun of anyone who's mad about it, or filled with compliments.

It comes across as attention seeking behaviour. I suppose they have attention now.

Anyway, support. I'm in favor of maximums of 50 GB listings. Users can create multiple. Larger bulk trades can go in trade center.

Besides, if the intent is to artificially manipulate the market and force GB sales lower or higher, I'm pretty certain there is or was a clause in the ToS or CoC that says purposefully manipulating the market to be in violation of the service usage.

my only qualm with your suggestion is someone can be a dick and list multiple of these 50gb sales and do it underneath their name just to do it multiple times / to show off. so i definitely support this, but it doesn't fully "solve" the bragging issue sadly.

I wonder if that'd constitute as spamming at that point.

kura brings up a good point. that could be considered spam, but youd have peple whining that theyre just trying to sell gb. what if there was a cap? so you could ONLY have 50gb for sale per account

I disagree with a cap over the whole account. If someone sells 10 50GB bundles, I'd be okay with it, because in THEORY a handful of users would be able to purchase those trades. Some people want to sell a lot of GB at once, and that isn't considered spam. Most users don't abuse this system - implementing a soft 50 GB per trade is merely meant to dissuade the people who are currently abusing it, and with that cap across individual trades, I believe the issue will resolve itself as they won't want to risk their GB actually being bought out if it's simply to brag, spam, or artificially effect the market.

I think if someone winds up routinely posting 10 or more 50 gb trades at lowest price to flood the market, mods can just determine if it constitutes as spam or not and handle it on a case by case basis.

But for now, a cap of 50 gb each seems fair tbh

I have to agree with the post! it feels like a troll as well, as when they post it people start 'rush-selling' tons of GB for super low to be able to afford it, when reasonably they're not going to get that high, and the user will remove it before they can buy it. It just feels like a way to lower the GB cost so they can easily nab extra GB, or at least that's how I would do it if i needed to get a quick bit of extra GB, but the sale price was too high. Not that I would ever, but it's what I'd think about doing with it.

I agree with this heavily!! Like it's extremely unrealistic to expect someone to buy HUNDREDS of GB. A very very minute amount of players on here can do that, so there's no real reason to me as to why someone would list that much. In the case that it IS someone trolling, I think the cap shouldn't be 10 listings but 5. I've seen people list over 20 GB individually as well so it would minimize clutter overall I think.

You're always going to have 'clutter' in a sales area, it's like saying there's too many NCLs up for trade in the trading center - it's gonna happen.
I disagree heavily with a 'amount of listings up' cap. I only agree with the cap on the individual listings.

I do not believe there should be a listing cap in the slightest; My suggestion does not intend to punish players using the sale function in good faith. I think it should ONLY be a cap on individual sales, not sale number.
