It would be a good capitalist way of saying;

Well, danish greatswords come from denmark, and they have run out of supply! Of course they are more expensive!

This would be an automatic min-maxer killer in the long run. Since no weapon or item is atm extremely OP in itself, I think we could try such a change. For every greatsword used every tick, the price and upkeep of it would go up or down.

A rarely used weapon would be very cheap, and a popular one very expensive, making players have to compensate by wearing less armor.

Same would work for armors and other items of course. It should be for weapons USED, not bought or in inventory though. Perhaps it should be connected to the kill or damage stats?

This would also shake up the marketplace... :D

Would this include heirlooms? I mean if an hierloom price is independent from the basic unheirloomed price?

You know what Thomek? This would make me wield a katana every fucking round for couple of weeks, just to make it more expensive :P. I don't even have the 2h wpf but what wouldn't I do to make your ninjaed plans to fail ^^

Good idea. I have enough gold to the point where I can spawn with a heavy lance every round, or 2 quivers of whatever the most popular arrow/ranged weapon of the moment is just to put them into the poor house.

More like, no one has any counterarguments at all.

This could at least be a factor in weapon pricing. It would smooth out current balance issues an op weapons.

No, this is just you being biased again and trying to nerf everything that isn't a katana.

Well, katana is the third most popular weapon on EU1 according to stats some months back, iirc.

But, I don't know about this suggestion. I can see some benefits in it, but a lot of downsides, and I don't think it would work that well in the end.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

what a fail ideas come to thomek during nights
shooting at people from a reachable place as last man standing is not delaying. Even if you're on the other side of the map.

Nah, but the OP's suggestion made me make one

What if the more popular players didn't have to pay upkeep. So the PRO clan could just wear plate all day
