A Plead

Kabane · Post by **Kabane** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 12:14 am

guys as most of u know over the past ive been trying to help out the realm first off but giving money to OUR realm defence and secondly by suplying Vcheep items now i Plead to others to do the same Drop your prices on your Cm's you'll find its better for your slef and others.
If you lower your 1 V high priced item to a price that most ppl can aford then you'll Help your fellow Realm M8s And youll find u sell more item's cos ppl will go to your Cm look at what other stuff u have and buy it. its simple ecnomics.
You Dont need to charge someone 10's of P for one item .. the chances are u came by it by luck you dont want it or u wouldnt be selling it so give others a break drop ya prices , Even if only 30% of us do then it will force others to do the same there for you Will Not need to charge a lot as the other item you "need" will not be that expencive So as a Plead from me to YOU do us all a favour DROP your prices :-)
Cheers Kabane

Hib/Pryd is heaven compared to Mid/exca for example, some stuff costs like 3 times as much there ( mad tales 3of3 is like 30p+). IMO most of the stuff here is priced fair enough.

( although I wouldnt mind pricing GoV cheap enough for me to buy xD )

I agree with Kabane, but this is an endless discussion which we have had several times without no result and we never will see any as there are more than one mind that controls the game. And as some people said in the past - it's like real life where money makes you powerful. (even though I personally play mmorpg to get away from rl I can fully understand how rl is brought into the game)

there is an easy way to bring prices down but i dont wanna do it i would like others to lower there prices, but if they dont then flooding the market with normally high priced items with the now in a low price then it will force the prices down ofc i dont wanna do this but i can and will if prices dont change i do have the money and resorces to do it , to the ppl with there 1 off high priced item have the money or resorces to stop it?

anyways like i said this is a plead to others to help out the realm

I don't think you can, for example immolated ring- do you REALLY want to farm that encounter to push its price down? This isn't about resources, it is about time invested.

Kabane · Post by **Kabane** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 2:16 am

the point im making is ppl who have item like Imm ring and are selling it you dont need it so why charge so much for it ? and if your farming it ya not gonna stop at one and sell it ya gonna get a few so instead of waiting 2weeks to sell it for 20+p sell it for 10-13p and selling it almost insta

trade controls wont work. all it will mean is that those with the money will buy the stuff you put on below natural market price and then put it on there cm's at an inflated price.

Appeals for everyone to stick to low prices are always going to be fruitless when there is a ton of money slushing around, with items that take a lot of rl time to farm.

People will play how they want to play, some people play to farm, they play to farm and sell its their play style. I play to do what i want and havnt had much probs actually going and getting the items myself in the past. But like others have said, this plea wont actually do anything at all mate.

found 2 weeks ago: MT3/3
cheapest price on CM: 14plat -> my price: 9 plat
same with other items

Everyone always complaining how expensive toa stuff is, but it's us the players who make the marketprice, not the game. Noticed each scroll i sold cheaper is now cheaper to buy.

I place my prices always under others prices, i want fast money

Mythic's CM system is a crap, they should rework that shit. First complain, the older players are in advance, they could place their house closer to better places, and im sure sometimes the travelling time does matter.
The discount +20% price if you buy from the market explorer is pure BS, you have to spend alot of time to get to a CM if you want to buy something expensive.
The search panel is bad too, i am missing to specify the type of armor or weapon, even just would flag "mentalist" as class, and the system should now i am looking for cloth armor, or caster type staff, etc. I had problems if i would specify more then 1 keywords in the search too.
Anyway, so far the best implemented player auction system was the WoW's auction system, you can place your items in for maximum 24 hours, and if the item didnt sell in that time, you have to pay the rent to the auctioneers and the item will go back to you. This ensures you dont want to overprice your crap, because you will lose money on it. Certainly that system not perfect as well, there are price kartells, i laughed alot when they sent me mails because i sold my stuff cheaper as the "usual price".
But, the main problem - at least on scrolls - the very low drop chances on it, which is trully shames the mythic (yet another build-in timewaste in the game).
