Everyone should love a good conspiracy theory . . . here the one I just thought of while taking a dump . . .
- Turbine wants to setup a cash AH to fleece the players.
- For years the currency of choice was Flawless Reds
- Turbine Release EGH (for "free") which has black-scale armor which is easier to obtain by an order of magnitude and better armor.
- Value of Reds plummets. They simple aren't worth as much any more as better armor is available and is esier to get.
- The player base needs a new "currency." Plat's been "worthless" for years and when EE GH items start trading for 20 reds each it's clear they're now wortless.
- ASAH release in the next patch with a currency obtainable by cash and a 30% tax.
Dr. Evil would be proud, why make trillions when you can make billions?
