Add histograph for Crafting Materials (Discussion)[edit]

I'd like to see some king of statistics on the evolution of Crafting Material Prices. So you can see average pricing and peaks on the items without having to do a "Request Quote" for each item manually.

Approaches
  1. Make the history of all buy/sell price updates per x minutes publicly available
  2. Add an external request code that sends a certain buy/sell price from up to x minutes ago. (So external programs and sites could keep the history)
  3. Add some kind of histogram on the website - similar to what's been done to PvP and Challenge Missions
  4. Add some kind of histogram available in-game
Why this is a good idea
  • Makes it a lot easier for advanced material traders to buy/sell their goods.
  • Gives all players a good feeling of average pricing.
Why it may not work
  • Too heavy on the servers.
  • This could influence the market too much.
