So, if I put out a food SO for $50 bushels and call for like 4,000,000, and then the market empties and stays empty for a couple hours... so like 15 more people put in orders... and then some dumbass sells 10,000 bushels, I have to go to the back of the line behind everyone? Well fluff, why doesn't the cheater just put in five separate SOs for $21 oil, and then their buddy can sell batches of 1000 barrels or whatever until one hits, thus knocking everyone else to the back of the line while the cheater's next order moves to the front. Then dump the whole stockpile.
You can only put out 3 SOs for each good, so you can't do 5 SOs. Also, yes a cheater can do what you said. On other servers, because goods take 4-6 (or 4-5) hours to reach the market, it is much harder to pull this off, because you have to test once every 4-6 hours (or recall the large batch if you put it out in advance), but on Express, it is somewhat easy to pull it off, given that it is also a much smaller server with less players, and the time to market is very short.
