MC22 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Suppose there is a suggestion for 1-1.5 keys up, and I make a 1-1.4 key suggestion to spite him, which is 4% away from 1-1.5 which is within 5% and not valid. Is this rule still in effect? There is one person in particular I'd like an answer from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC22 Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 according to woifi, it is Good. I'd like to hear his explanation of his own negligence of said rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@@@@@@ Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 what if it was 4.99%? EH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjon123 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 As far as my understanding, this is how the 5% rule has been used and how I use it. For Open Suggestions: The mid-range of a suggestion may not be within 5% of another open suggestion or the newer one will be closed... ...Except if the new suggestion has significantly more proof than the old one i.e. Old suggestion = "I think it should go up in price becuase I tried to buy this item and it was hard" New suggestion = Lots of proof, Lots of effort put into it. ...or if the two differing suggestions are [wide range vs. short range] or [flat value vs. range] For Items: The mid-range of the new suggestion must be over a 5% change from the old price... ...Except if the new suggestion is arguing [wide range vs. short range] or [flat value vs. range] Im a derp, I dont know why I put this here For Unusuals: If the old price is not atleast two months old, the new suggestion must be over a 5% change from the old price to be valid. No exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Then why the hell do stupid craft hat suggestions still get passed lowering the range from 1.33-1.66 refined to 1.33-1.55 refined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess only 1.33-1.44 should do I was talking about 2 competing suggestions. Still waiting on Woifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverpun Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The 5% rule is no longer officially enforced. However, prices must be significantly different from current ones, and 5 percent is a good benchmark for that. Exceptions may be made based on the proof, as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Even if it is not set in stone and exceptions can be always there sometimes it's just useless. I made that post before talking with the other moderators though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woifi The Viking Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So you are saying it does not have to be followed? Depends on the situation. But not stricly. If your change is useless it's useless anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distinctively Vincent Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I still apply it to unusuals to differentiate between a new price and a price bump, since the latter needs 2 months before it can be allowed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other suggestion was still better than yours even if yours got a bit more upvotes (maybe because you are an blue belt)? It is very related. His was 1% away from mine, which breaks the 5% rule.
