What problem are you experiencing that led to you asking for this feature?
There's a lot of many bait listings for commodities that skew the price downward. I'll often see listings like this, where 0.1% of the listings are at an unreasonably low price:
- 50g, 5 items
- 99g, 1029 items
What solution would you like?
It would be useful if the market price was computed using a (configurable) percentile or some other more robust statistic instead of based on the minimum price.
Any alternatives you can think of?
Alternatively, it could be computed using some hard-coded ranking, e.g. pick the N-th lowest price, where N is configurable.
Anything else?
No response
What about two price informations (in tab and tooltip), one with "lowest price" and one with "median price"?
I don't think median is as useful as, say, a low percentile such as 1%ile. Also, the main motivation for this is integration with other addons that use the crafting price like CraftSim, so ideally it should be compatible with that protocol.
