| - | After feedback and more debate, we have decided to remove the original “rules” section of this article and instead replace it with a few examples of behavior we would like to not see. The only “Rule” as such for TEST markets is “Don’t Be a Dick” and individual incidents will be judged by diplomats on a case-by-case basis as they always have been. These cases are not rules, but they should give you a good idea of the things this article aims to deter under the "Don’t Be a Dick" rule. | + | After feedback and more debate, we have decided to remove the original “rules” section of this article and instead replace it with a few examples of behavior we would like to not see.

| - | - Person A buys out all of the contracts for a skirmish doctrine, and relists them 50% higher. Any time more are imported he buys them and relists them again. | ||
| - | * You are not providing a service nor a convenience, you are literally just taking money from consumers and putting it in your pocket and you're gonna have a bad time. | ||
| - Person B buys out all of the Faction Ammo before a scheduled stratop and re-lists it at 1000% markup. | - Person B buys out all of the Faction Ammo before a scheduled stratop and re-lists it at 1000% markup. | ||

| - | - Person C is upset that a particular t1 hull is priced 20% over jita. Instead of importing or manufacturing some and selling them at 10%-15%, he imports some and sells them at or near wholesale. He believes he is doing a service to the alliance by providing cheap goods for purchase. | + | - Person C is upset that a particular t1 hull is priced 20% over jita.

| - | * In reality he is not going to keep up this volume at no gain, and the importers that are making a small profit stop importing. The end result is that you now have an empty market and you're gonna have a bad time. In this instance, buying out the items at jita cost and re-listing them at a reasonable margin is an acceptable practice and is healthy for the market. | + | * In reality he is not going to keep up this volume at no gain, and the importers that are making a small profit stop importing.

| - | - Person D buys out all the hulls and components for a skirmish doctrine from the U-H market, assembles them and puts them on contract for a 40% markup (80% over jita) There are no longer hulls or some modules necessary for people to fit their own instead of buying the contract ones. He also buys the few reasonably priced (20% over jita) contracts and re-lists them. | + | - Person D buys out all the hulls and components for a skirmish doctrine from the U-H market, assembles them and puts them on contract for a 40% markup (80% over jita) There are no longer hulls or some modules necessary for people to fit their own instead of buying the contract ones.

| - | * Although providing fitted ships on contract is a respectable service that deserves a markup, it doesn't when it's at the cost of choice. If he had imported ships to put up on contract, that would have been fine. If he had bought out half of the ships and put them up for a reasonable margin, that would have been fine too. But when you intentionally remove the choice from TEST members to build it themselves, you have forced them to pay you more or not have a ship in the short term, especially when you also buy out the existing contracts and relist them. If you do this you're kind of a dick, although the market will recover in time. | + | * Although providing fitted ships on contract is a respectable service that deserves a markup, it doesn't when it's at the cost of choice.
