    No, because you cannot assume that whoever was able to get that insanely cheap priced item had the intention to "snipe", to low-ball the seller. They just paid whatever the system asked them to.

     

    Oh come on let's be real haha, that's about as logical as saying that you can't reasonably prove (without staff input) that people intentionally over-price worthless items that have similar names as more valuable ones. Could just be an accident right?

     

    And I'm not talking about someone intentionally listing an undercut for a quick sale - I'm talking about snapping up a shiny for 50k. Absolutely no one in their right mind would hesitate because it's free money, and because tough crap on the noob for not doing their homework before making the sale, right? Surely that's just as unethical, yet no one bats an eyelid?

    For the record I don't necessarily think this suggestion is a bad idea, I just think it's interesting that there's such disparity in opinions regarding two sides of the same coin.

    Sadly, this doesn't answer my question.

    Rotom Heat sits at 41,41% and has an unfair type advantage against a lot of UU. His true counters are basically Lanturn and Slowbro only (kind of).

    This is something which should be thought better. If a Pokemon is 41% usage and the second most used Pokemon is at 23%, something's off.

    Lanturn, Snorlax, Flygon, opposing Rotom-H, Druddigon, Sp.Def Jellicent and Porygon2 are all very viable Pokemon in the UU meta which all comfortably check Rotom-H. It's true that you should always factor in an answer to Rotom-H when teambuilding, and it's probably is the most useful Pokemon in the tier, but that doesn't mean it's overpowered. Its weakness to Stealth Rocks, lack of reliable recovery, and Overheat being its main offensive STAB move are all aspects that hinder it significantly. 

     

    The reason it's used so much is just because of how useful it is in the tier - it defensively covers a lot of offensive threats, and offers great teambuilding synergy with its typing and ability. There are lots of ways to deal with Rotom, you just need to make use of them.

     

    Edit: In response to your edit about it "not being under used" - it is under used because it doesn't meet the usage threshold in OU for it to be moved up. Its usage within UU itself has no bearing on that.

    I'm taking bets. I bet he'll close the shop within a week.

    Seriously tho, instead of viciously undercutting like this to gain more orders, all you're doing is working yourself to the bone for little payout. You might as well price it competitively according to the market and you'll have a consistent client base given that you are good at what you do.

    Dude, I bet he will give "Current Busy Level = Unavailable" Soon.

    I'd wager all of my in game money that you guys have undercut people before, be it with EV/breeding prices or GTL listings. He's clearly new so chill out and let him do his own thing. 

     

    @ZacAustin I'll probably have some orders for you at some point, I'll shoot you a PM when I'm ready to place them

    I'm talking about the amount of sign ups. Before, 16 seat tours weren't being filled. Now LC is going, this tour is full. If people really cared about LC then they should've played before.

    But there is an independent variable in that this tournament is for a Shiny Larvesta, which is the best prize LC (or any tier for that matter) has seen in a significant length of time. You can't draw any conclusions by comparing the turnout for this tour with that of a 16 man CC

    The tournament is in 2 hours and no answer, even a negative one. Not really surprised.

    Staff make nonsensical decision -> large outcry from players to reverse it -> complete silence from staff

     

    We see it all the time. Same shit different day bro

    @Munya I have a proposal: 

    1) you change this event from a 64 players tournament to a 256 players tournament
    2) if the tournament completely fills, you guys have to keep LC as an official tier;
         if the tournament doesn't fill completely, you guys get the community support (even if you don't really need it) to shut down LC for good.

    If LC is indeed dying and the participation rate is unsustainably low, you guys really would have nothing to lose while us LC players risk losing our very last LC tournament (if we don't reach the minimum quota of 128 players) just to prove you wrong xD

    Also bump
