I guess the orders made it too easy to suck the bottom from the market, and artificially raise the price.

If a manipulator wants to raise the price on an item, all he has to do is place a bulk order, and the bottom of the market is immediately bought up as it is listed. The manipulator then re-lists the acquired cheapies at the desired new price.

No human can beat the order to a bargain.

That would be my guess.

*Edit : (L) items are perfect for this strategy because of the low volumes. The artificial inflation of (L) items will definitely unbalance MA's plan for them, in my opinion.

Why didnt they set it so that TT items couldnt be auctioned.
