Community Price Voting

Posted on

Happy New Year fellow survivors!

Here at Survivors Rest we have been working away at designing and implementing some great new features for the site, one of the main features we're excited to unveil is price voting.

One of the biggest problems with trading H1Z1 items currently is price disputes and the lack of a consistent and accurate list of suggested prices for non-marketable items. There are lists out there but these are generally incomplete, created by a single person and could even be motiviated by self-interest. So we thought why not provide that list and allow the community as a whole to keep it accurate it!

Here's how it works, all non-marketable items will have a suggested price, if a user believes the price is inaccurate based off of current asking prices and demand then they can submit a price suggestion with proof. Any other user on the site can then upvote or downvote that suggestion and even leave a comment in response.
After a certain amount of time and votes the suggestion will be accepted or rejected, but be careful, anyone who voted the wrong way will lose points, negative points means you can't suggest prices yourself, you can read more about the points here.

To start this democratic system off we have set what we believe are the most accurate suggested prices for all of the non-marketable items. Some may be surprised at the initial prices we have set in comparison to the outdated list at r/H1Z1Market, it does not include any of the newest items, has not been updated in a month and as such is severely inaccuurate.

For the first week or two we will be allowing only specific users the ability to suggest new prices, once the system has been tested out we will open up that ability to all users.
If you are interested in suggesting prices during this time, please apply here.

For anyone interested, we plan on implemnting an API for this data also.
