Hi all,

New to the game, new to the forum. I'm beginning to wrap my brain around the bizarre economy in this game (why so many barriers to trading?), and one thing jumped out to me about Master Merchant add-on. I imagine this applies to TTC as well.

At least for gear that isn't CP160, it's difficult to get a price check. A Ring of the Order of Diagna (ROD), for instance, can come in a variety of traits, levels, and quality. If I understand correctly, that's because MM is tracking sales of rings that are exactly identical in all three of these dimensions. Is there anything preventing it from generating price estimates using (multiple) regression analysis?

I can't be the only person who plays this game and has taken some stats courses, so I figure maybe I'm ignoring something obvious to more seasoned players. Is this information useless for most people, because they're not busy selling lower-level gear that just ends up getting deconned?
