auction tracker on wiki

[fishingme]

So I've noticed that all of the items I've looked up the price for on the wiki are gone. Any info on this?

this is a question thread, not a poll thread. Keep thread on track please.

THey're gone because the wiki is probably still having issues.

That and a large portion of the p99 crowd wanted it gone... so that might be why it's gone.

And that, my friends, is a good thing.

Serious question: why do people want the tracker gone? Doesn't it help to insure fair market values?

As a newb who doesn't know values, it seems like a good thing.

I was disgruntled as well, but ah well. It just means I have to keep a piece of notebook paper on the desk to manually track prices of items I give a crap about for my character. The tracker was a great time saver, but not the end of the world.

So EC traders can rip people off.

P.S. - http://ahungry.com/eqauctions is a good way to get a more accurate representation of prices. As the wiki only goes off by what people are selling it for, and this shows prices of buyers and sellers.

Neither is accurate, both are manipulated. There is no source for the actual prices items sell at, only people uploading logs of /auc chat.

That said, both are useful and the people who "want them gone" are mostly those who want to rip off people who don't spend hours every day watching auctions in EC. There are excellent words available to describe such people, but they tend to get threads moved to RnF when posted.
