Reverts[edit]

I noticed Reverts on your additions (see Obsidian Shard and Glob of Ectoplasm... apparently the inplace policy is not to list ingame prices... Has this discussion come up already? MrPaladin talk 13:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I've reverted those edits, and I guess I should have written something here. The consensus is that maintaining trader's prices of items:
  • requires too many resources, of the users and the system.
  • is prone to abuse.
  • is not necessary enough.
However, if you do want to initiates a move in that direction, consider this solution:
A protected page will hold the timestamped values, and will only be edited by a defined group of trusties, (either a specific group, or, lets say, 1-year-or-more-users). Materials' pages will have a component which pulls the latest number only if it's from the last 12 hours, so that the number will never be outdated. This could also provide long-range statistics, and an 'up' or 'down' sign like with stocks. However, this will 'steal' valued user efforts from more important content edits, and will require some amount of system resources. Formulate and suggest something like that, and maybe we'll be able to get something running :] - Foo 07:06, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
