I'm still pretty much a noob, wandering around Silan with the highest lvl of 74. so I have not witnessed the "old" economy; I however have some thoughts re economy in general :)
The market lacks transparency, and price discovery process is hard - I'd probably need to put at least 15 times 100 units of fine Koorin oil on the market at different prices just to find out what the market clearing price is. Rinse and repeat for every material out there, and I'd not be finished before moving on to better mats and starting it all over again.
Some sort of latest deals tracker could be useful, at least to an extent.
Another option would be an automatic discounting system - e.g., if an item is not sold in 24 h, then 10% of markup gets cut off; traders in high-end stuff where the market is less liquid would probably object to this, however.
