I have not read anything in this topic, but free markets have proven to be as insufficient in the long run as state controlled ones. ECONOMICS DEBATE!

The value of gold is rapidly decreasing, buy paper money.

Yes! Exclusive items (hats) that cost alot of gold but have the same kind of stats as normal items. They would be only for looks. And, maybe including Final Boss item pack into this. Not for everyone but for those who pay gold for a better look for weapons and armor (+1 +2 +3 etc). Also you can buy heraldry for your items at an aditional cost

Want that stylish look? Pay for it baby.

HMM have to admit , that as long as people buying these items for these prices.
They dont seem to mind them IMO , if people realy hated the prices nothing would be sold.

I just dont understand why people are willing to pay such prices for looms. I make like 500k gold for every 500 hours I play. So thats 1.5 million so far, not even enough to buy a masterwork anymore. I decided to stop retiring a while ago, but I retired recently, even though I hate it. Ah well, one more loom and I'll have a weapon, a body armour and gloves to x3 and then all your outrageous prices can go fuck themselves.

That's the essence of the problem. Retiring is unpopular => heirlooms become hard to find => their price rises.

The prices shouldn't be artificially brought down to please the buyers. Doing so means you nerf retirement even further and eventually make it useless. And obviously you also kill the market because the sellers will just stop selling if you force them to sell for less gold.

On the long term, prices will fluctuate around the price that is balanced when we take everything into account, including the disadvantages of retirement. This price is probably higher than the current prices, so the best way to "fix" this is not debating about it, it is retiring.


When it comes to inflation, I don't think there is much in cRPG. But to fix it, the best way remains offering new cool things for lots of gold, and increasing the marketplace fees.

Wtf...

[okiN]

Referring here to social liberalism. Duh.

If people continue to buy looms at such an outrageous price, then the price will rise. Simply common sense. If I retire one gen and sell my loom point for 600k, then see others are successful selling theirs for 700k. When I retire next why would I sell mine for any less than that?

You want to stop the rise of loom point prices? Stop buying them. That person selling it for some absurd price will start lowering the price until it sells. Many people see playing after 31  as a waste of time, so they won't hold onto it for long.

Most likely, some people won't care about it and continue buying loom points. Prices will increase, people will continue playing. Looms aren't necessary to be effective, they are just nice. This is what happens when we have nice things =D.
