This has nothing to do with whether or not I like it. It has to do with you being an imbecile.
Econ 101.. an item IS WORTH what IS PAID. It wouldn't matter if 50 people jumped on here and tried to sell isk at 1fg : 5k isk ... if no one bought it, then it wouldn't be WORTH that.
Marketing 101.. if you want to MAKE the market be a specific way to cater to your desires (in this case a 1fg : 2mil isk ratio or whatever it is you want), and everyone else is selling/buying for different (which is presently the case whether you want to admit it or not) then YOU BE THE CHANGE...
Selling your isk at 4fg : 1mil isk ..
First of all, no one will buy it. Second of all, IF they did, you would successfully make the market worse, and then you would never get a 1fg : 2mil isk ratio because YOU flooded it.
If none of this makes sense to you, I would recommend just giving me all your isk; this will solve your problems

I'm a fucking Business Major in college, you don't need to tell me what the basics are. I don't want a 1fg:2mil ratio, i want a 2fg:1m ratio, which is what the isk is really worth (its actually less, like 1.4-1.6 if you were to BUY isk from a trusted site). The fg to isk ratio is not even close to 3, and should never go above 2.2 or so.
I'm selling @ a 4.3:1 ratio because i can do whatever the hell i want. I really don't want to sell my isk, so thats why i set it so high.
And i really don't give a damn what you guy's ratio is atm, i know its easy as hell to make isk and harder to make fg. I said it before, someone in my corp can make an easy 100 Mil every hour or so running missions by himself, so its really easy to make the isk. FG is not as easy to make, i can't go out and make 2k fg overnight. I spend the past 4 weeks making my 2k fg, with many hours put in and hard work.
And you can't say that nobody will sell @ a 2:1 ratio, becuse someone just sold some at that ratio less then an hour ago (albeit a small about, but was still a 2:1 ratio)
EDIT: It was even a 2m:1fg ratio, which is 4x less then what i'm offering
Double Edit: Corp member says he makes about 25m every 20 min or so, meaning 75m an hour
