Why would you do this?

[ibCheechy]

Why would you put an unlimited or high amount wanted at your shop and then get mad that someone fulfilled it because it used all your money? That's not being an opportunist trying to dry you out, as I've seen some people refer to it as. I feel like 98% of the time that's just someone seeing you buying and fulfilling your order. If you're not okay will all your money going towards the things you want, ask for less. It's not the fault of the person who sells to you, that's on you for running your business poorly.

mini rant over

[NoxMortus]

Your rant exposes some of the hidden flaws with the model of the game.

It relies heavily upon player interactions and more specifically on the "culture of the server". Some servers are highly collaborative, others have individuals or small groups working together and only engaging with others because there is a need to.

You also have the technology bottleneck (default settings), where your personal progression is limited by everyone else's advancement.

As for why they did it, I think it was probably a mistake.

[binxmuldoon123]

I had a guy get mad at me for selling him gravel, or maybe it was dirt not sure. His reasoning was that it should have been obvious he didn't want that much, yet he set the buy order to infinite on purpose. Some people are dumb.

Game automatically sets that to infinite, he probably either forgot to set a limit or didn't know how.

let them learn in the game, in real life learning will cost much more than drawn money or resources

[JohnnyZerg]

also, if you have access to a bank you can create a separate account to set a money limit on what you want to buy with the store account, keeping your savings in the main account

except they won't learn, they'll quit the server and do the same thing next time they play

What does your reply have to do with the question ?

People dont set a limit for buying stuff, buy too much and are mad that people fulfill there requests which is dumb.

the server will not lose anything.
playing with people who do not want to learn basic things will not bring pleasure.

they are the entire eco playerbase, after thousands of hours they haven't evolved past [give everyone 100 coins] [add road laws] type of a (failing) economy.

yeah that's ridiculous, like the server owners know better than the developers. It's offensive tbh

Only replying as "the developers" were mentioned - we do fully encourage and support server admins in creating their own experiences and have no issues with presetup currency and law servers at all - we host an official server doing that ourselves. Nothing is offensive about people using Eco as the framework it is intended to be.
