[quote=Shaggy;1218592]So the next logical step would be to test if the markup of a weapon could effect the loot. Would that be the markup you paid, or the average markup then?
[\QUOTE]

We know that MA tracks the markup through the AH sales, which is what gives us the nifty little "Market Value" tab... They would (obviously) have no way to easily track the declared value in grey/black markets like the PA shout-a-thon, which operate outside the "main" financial system. (There's a sociology project for someone; do people who come from countries/cultures with a strong history of black markets do better in EU? Hmm...)

This could definitely be another reason to manipulate prices in the marketplace; when you see a spike in resale prices for Korss 400, you will know someone is going out on a massive hunting spree!



Love this thread; massive gj to all. Wish I was knowledgeable enough in mathematical modeling to know what you were talking about all the time, but the parts I get are very interesting!
