Anonymous player bought 2 Magma Mage Amulets from me earlier tonight at 2,000 sP each. Autopricing set this price way too low. The going rate was 446,000 when I checked after noticing how little he/she paid for them. I realize that I should have double-checked but I had just activated my loyalty token and was pricing 4,000 items in two shops. That would have taken way too long to double-check!

Is there some sort of safety net that can be implemented to help prevent things like this from happening short of double-checking each and every item? Maybe a warning step put into play before the final submittal if the price is set at a level, say 50% lower than other shops as a fail safe?

<p>Like I said, it&;s a huge benefit, but we don&;t want to remove the need to do something to manage your shops if you&;ve got a GA.
From Autopricer suggestion to stop losing out on sP your suggestion is similar to that board.

There already exist two main ways to mitigate this problem.

  1. If you are re-pricing/updating a shop which already has prices, you can pause after the first step and quickly scan the "New Price (Lowest)" column and look for large red values.

  2. Decide on a price point, 100K, 1M, 500K...whatever you choose and separate those items either into a category or (better) a different shop if you have the space. Then you should only have to be careful with one shop or category.

That said, I wouldn't mind reworking shops such that we could sort that price difference in the "New Price (Lowest)" column - that would make things a lot easier!
