Staring at your screen the entire time you're in the tunnel is a good way to go crazy, and make 20 minutes feel like two hours. That's why it often takes time to respond, and has nothing to do with being a "real player" or not.
Hmmm I don’t do any of this. I personally hate selling in the EC tunnel, so I purposefully don’t sell at whatever arbitrary number the price gougers have decided to set. For example, don’t ever pay 3k for clarity II. It’s not scarce, like at all. It used to be like 500 appropriately priced for its rarity until spell price gougers decided to all make it 3k for literally no reason at all other than greed, and the only reason it stays that way is people cave and pay

The prices of stuff are completely made up on the spot. They just all match each other’s made up price not based on scarcity to form a little oligopoly on that item or spell to try to force you to pay it. After all, if they’re the only one no life camping that item, what other choice do you have?

Anyway, I don’t sell big ticket items so I purposefully discount mine half or less than the wiki price. I also consider it rude to put up an auction and then go afk so I sit there waiting for /tells, sometimes I’ll even hold off using the bathroom to be available for people. But again I’m not a price gouging power seller so I don’t expect others to be like me
