What am I Missing?

Is it just me or are the TT values for Root Acid and Putty on the PEACTION section way off? Up until now I've been assuming that that information was correct.

do the ingame numbers include buyouts? Peauction does not have access to buyout numbers like that and only displays the auctions that actually finished without buyout.

No it's not just you. Just checked Putty/Cave Sap and the TT value stated in the Item Info is way out. 24.96/7.80 Ped each.

The auction data isn't affected though.

It's not the auction data that concerns me. I recently transfered that data to a spreadsheet that I use to invoice a client who I mine for and he in turn uses that data to price his merchandise.

If the tt value is known, why doesn't the webmaster correct the value displayed to avoid confusing people into thinking that those substances are way more valuable than they really are.

The point being, PE Auction is intended to be a trusted resource. My client and I both need to know the information we use is accurate.

Peauction IS a trusted source for all your auction needs. If you have to depend solely on a website though that is pretty bad. This problem will probably be corrected very soon but still.

I think you are missing the point here. it is not PEAuction that is screwed up, THE INGAME TT VALUE STATEMENT IN ITEM INFO is screwed up Wink It is not as easy as "just go in and change it" becuase of the way peauction works.

Actually, I think you are missing my point: See below under the example for Putty “Unit TT Value: 24.96”, This information is not based on auctions, it’s constant, it claims to describe the TT value of 1 unit of Putty at 24.96 PED. This is ridiculous.

Item: Putty
Category: Resources : Refined Enmatter
Recorded Auctions: 273
Unit TT Value: 24.96 PED

Price: 106.21% of TT value
(Based on 10 auctions with bids)

Here’s one that bit me in the ass a few weeks ago:

Item: Root Acid
Category: Resources : Refined Enmatter
Recorded Auctions: 298
Unit TT Value: 16.00 PED

Price: 106.96% of TT value
(Based on 10 auctions with bids)

The unit TT value never changes. PE Action claims that 1 unit of Root Acid is worth 16.00 PED, so that 100 units at 106.96% has a market value of 1711.36 PED. When in fact the unit value is 0.64 PED and 100 units has a market value of 68.45 PED.

The person who physically entered this data entered the incorrect data, on these items and others. Why is that some of the information is correct and other information glaringly incorrect? I realize that the market values fluctuate over time but the basic information about an item should be correct. It should be spelled correctly and have the correct TT value assigned to that item. If it found to be incorrect, it should be changed.

i think what Kaiser is saying, is that the TT value is not physically entered by hand, but retrieved from the auction data by the auction tracker.

*but i may be mistaken*

Actually it is you that is missing my point. Peauction pulls the TT value FROM THE GAME!! We do not type it in. The TT value IN THE GAME is screwed up which why the TT value on peauction is screwed up.

This is not something that can be easily fixed. It is a MindArk problem not a peauction problem. If you look at the in game item info the TT value is stated incorrectly in the game (or at least it was).

By the way this posts sounds kind of snappy it is not meant to be that way. just trying to be extra clear.

If I look up one unit of Root Acid in a display window I get the correct TT value for that item. So I'm not sure where the incorrect information is stated. I trust you have pointed these errors out to MA. I continue to use this data, as I find it more accurate than the data MA now provides in game, but as I am running a business where my income is effected by even slight fluctuations in an items market value, getting the correct TT value is imperative.

They may have fixed it then since the last time I looked. To be honest i am not sure if the TT value gets updated once peauction picks it up that may be why it remains skewed after MA fixed it. I do know for a fact that for quite a while the item info screen was way off. I'll talk to Travis and see if it can be corrected.
