I see having the GTN's split as an extremely effective way of stopping massive inflation for new players every expansion.

Put all your leveling materials and equipment on the normal GTN and keep the exclusive rares for the high end players by placing them on a black market GTN.

Make it so prices are controlled from becoming stupidly excessive from users who just buy all stock off the GTN and replace it for 100 times its actual price. This would allow new users to actually start with access to basic materials without BIOWARE having to increase the credits you can earn at low levels because prices are overinflated.

Make the black market GTN like a real black market where prices are what ever you want to put them as.

The system you would use is one where prices are static prices and can only be risen or set to a lower price by setting a median price and that median will rise or lower depending on final sale prices.

The idea would be that if you had 2 items on the GTN you would have the median price of said item at 100 credits with 50 being the minimum price and 150 being the highest.

Now the price of the median will increase based on the last lets say 10 sales but it could be changed depending on maths and the specific item but what you want to happen is that the median priced item of 100 credits sold the last 10 for 150 credits increasing the median to 150 credits.

That would change the new median price for that specific item to 150 credits with 75 credits being the new low price and 225 credits being the new high price.

So the math would probably look like this,

Minimum Price Allowed: Median - 50%
Maximum Price Allowed: Median + 50%
New Median: Total of last sales divided by 10

So the last 10 values were 100 credits by 5 and 150 credits by 5 which equal 500 credits and 750 credits. So you add them together and get 1250 credits.
Now you divide the 1250 credits by 10 as that is what the new median will be priced on and the new median equals 125 credits.
