if you had read the first post...that people are locking at a lower price and keeping it that way by locking out any negotiations you'd see how it's different. it's using a game mechanic, broker specific to accomplish. just selling through chat or broker emp items...even if locked so you can't negotiate isn't as feasible considering the much higher prices involved and the fact that emp items tend to be vetted more thoroughly by players. would you just post something that cost you real cash at whatever price was shown in the tooltip? everyone knows the conversion rate for their server. more flexible items like feedstock, alkahests of various types, mwa, etc do fluctuate.
the emp to gold ratio rarely does except to go up
downside is high conversion rates also benefit gold sellers...something a lot of mmo's besides tera who have systems where players can sell store items or store credit directly don't seem to get. you increase the grind ratio for the store credit to in game cash ratio and players without scruples have 3 choices. grind, buy directly...or buy gold. player cabals who screw with the in game economy screw everyone.
