@apujanata, I just cannot understand why you would want 1 person to get a free 1-1.5 million dkp. Cannot understand that. It is the equivalent of listing new IPOs without any stages. If you don't want to talk about it then fine I guess.
@Joe80, Well, you have your opinion, I have mine. And our opinion does not matter, since what happened is not based on our opinion, but based on KoC decision.
I think we should stop our discussion on what should have happened, and continue investing our money on opportunity we spot.
@apujanata, That's just absolutely ridiculous to me. It doesn't mean the most dedicated (always monitor) would be the one or the one who knows how accurate its sales should be. It could've been anyone.
Just because someone happened to be the first to see Uncharted relisted, does not mean that person should be the sole person to profit from it by upwards of 1-1.5 million dkp. I couldn't feel more strongly about this than I do.
Everyone should have a fair chance just like when new games are added to the site. Anything else is a disservice to members.
I don't have any problem with a person profiting a lot from Uncharted or any other stock. I think the maximum he can profit from 173 to 350 is 1 - 1.5 Million (unless there are someone who put a short order on it, which mean 1.5 Million+ profit).
Lucky is a matter of perspective. I prefer to look at it as dedicated (always monitor simEx) AND knowledgeable (knew that Uncharted is underpriced).
@apujanata, I don't understand why you would've just wanted to see Uncharted relisted at its delisted price. One person would've had a field day. Say it went from 173 to 250, 300, or 350. How much dkp would that 1 person have profited just because they were lucky enough to be the first to see it relisted?
@apujanata, I should've clarified that I did not mean a New IPO with Phase 1. When I said that I meant only Phase 2, so effectively Uncharted would've been relisted in Phase 2. At least it wasn't just relisted though because one person would've reaped all the profits.
@apujanata, I forgot to mention : I don't agree with KoC decision to do adjusment to market value (automatic 2 Million DKP). KoC should just let the market agree on the right adjustment value. If the automatic adjustment is too big, it could create a short opportunity which shouldn't be there at all.
Having said that, I think it nicely eliminate the problem that since the re-activating the stock is not done on a reguler time (like changing IPO phase 2 to standard market phase), it severely limit the action to player that are active coincidentally at the time it got re-activated.
