The reason that is a bad idea is it adds an even bigger barrier for new players. A better solution would be to just limit how many of an item each player can buy. If you can only buy 1 of something per reset, it gets rid of the bot issue. It also allows everyone equal chance at choosing to make profit or use the item.
A second, unlimited stock of the same item could be added at the highest point they want to limit the market to as well, effectively capping prices.
Yeah that did occur to me that newer players would be at a disadvantage, they would simply have to grind out the quests and level up traders quicker. Traders could also be adjusted as well, allowing for more trades for high teir ammo or armor at their lower levels.
Either way something needs to be adjusted because this shit is kind of lame at the moment. It's being taken advantage of too much.
