What is up with the prices in the AH?

[Mhykke]

Regular players(non plat farmers), once they get high level, they wouldn't even bother selling low lv equips in the AH(they'll keep some just incase they want to make a new char, other then that, they'll give them away or just off load them as fast as possible), because frankly, It's not worth the time to push the button, to post the item, however plat farmers will, no matter if they're at cap or not.

This is simply not true.

OP, it depends on the weapon type and the elemental effect on it but it basically doubles your DPS at low levels so they're highly desirable. Dorf axes, rapiers, khopeshes, great axes and I'm guessing greatswords and scimitars now, are gonna be worth a lot of money.

So if you pick up a race required holy or elemental burst khopesh, you should probably keep it.

[RhapsodieInBlue]

For new players all I can do is recommend you do the new Coin Lord chain quest in the Marketplace. A full party of 3's can easily do it I'm pretty sure, especially after they fix scaling.

The second to last and last part of the chain offer +1 elemental weapons with a second descriptor.

Are they the most uber possible? No. But, they will save you some cash if you don't have a sponsor.

If you're lucky you can get two nicked shortswords in the same run. I was able to get two nicked kamas (+1, shock, tendon slice) and that's good enough until I can find shocking burst myself, or in the house D vendor.

Lol, that's what you think, just because someone creates a new char, doesn't mean they're new(omg, that goes double for a D&D based game).

Regular players(non plat farmers), once they get high level, they wouldn't even bother selling low lv equips in the AH(they'll keep some just incase they want to make a new char, other then that, they'll give them away or just off load them as fast as possible), because frankly, It's not worth the time to push the button, to post the item, however plat farmers will, no matter if they're at cap or not.

Unless there's over a million players on this server, there is no way, that there would be a natural amount of plats in existant, to warrant these price on low end equips(Plat farmers are pure evil, and anyone who buys from them, only helps destroy the game/server).

Well I'm moving on now, have a nice day

hm, this thread is still around?

Well anyway, I just got the buy of the century, talk about under priced. I just bought a Ghost Touched of Pure Good +1 Heavy Mace on Khyber for only 24k(That's like the "perfect" Catacombs weapon).

In other news, I was able to buy a Shocking Tender slice Scimitar(yea, not the best secondary ability or weapon type for that matter, but for under 20k, I'll take it, not like I need it lol, my old char had like 4 elemental weapons, so he just tranfered them to my new char, along with other goodies, like +3 Mythral Fullplate, and such).

Natural inflation what, accounts for maybe a 5% increase per year "tops",

Do you not remember about 10 years ago? You know when Russia was having about 500-1000% weekly inflation? It was so bad people would run to the stores with their paychecks to spend every penny because next week their paycheck would be almost wothless.

[Xanthain]

I like plat, I farm plat, I inflate AH prices. Need you know more ?

[Dark_Helmet]

...blah blah blah about real world market makes no sense in a game so removed...

It's Plat Farmers, that cuases markets to end up like this. Also just to point out a server in much better shape, that Isn't new, I suggest you check out Kyber.

Khyber players are just so good, they don't need twink gear.. they run naked and use their bare fists when fighting demons and devils.

[toughguyjoe]

This kid went to Khyber? I dunno wether to be happy for us or sad for them...

clap. clap. clap.

You, are my hero. May I study your character building techniques?

Based upon your earlier posts, you must have watched the AH for days.. it is afterall all screwed up because of platinum farmers and greedy end capped bastards. lame.

[totmacher]

i love people who complain about market prices

[KoboldKiller]

I love those who have so much plat they can't see why someone who is new or doesn't have 5 plat capped alts would have an issue with the prices.

being new and grinding it out is overhead to get into the market

it's not that i don't empathize, i just don't see a need to complain

There is no issue with prices. There is only an issue with entitlement. No one is entitled to uber equipment to start. The game is NOT designed that way. The game is designed in such a way that if you want to get better.. you work for it. Isn't that an essential aspect of D&D? If you want great equipment.. then work for it. If you want to be able to afford stuff on the auction house.. then work for it.

Even if you had all the best equipment possible for your level, that does not mean your toon will be successful in the long run. Knowing how to play your toon and knowing how to build your toon will determine your success. You will only get this at... shocking. work.

Can you give me SOME to?

Yes, people can see where one would have an issue with prices....

What is laughable is to suggest that plat farmers are the cause, and that one server is somehow immune to platfarmers, or better than other servers, in terms of platfarmers. I can explain if you like, but I hope it's easy enough to understand without an explanation.

Darnit! I can't give you anymore rep either!
