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.

Okay, big boy. How you plan to do it?

To make super cool algorithm which will gather data (which items are people using) and re-calculate item prices in real time or,

to equalize popularity with damage dealt and after each monthly or quarterly report force Fasader/Paul to manually adjust item prizes based on some formula you're gonna invent?

Knowing you guys, I'm pretty sure nothing will change.

Thomek's idea is good but the more you think about it more flaws you're going to discover.

Jesus Christ guys. Why so much rage against it? Don't look on it as penalizing people that use the popular items, think of it as a reward for people who use less-used items. Toss a bone to those who use items that most others don't!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

In capitalism, the more an item is demanded (popularity) the more are produced and the cheaper they become. Only in a world of fixed supply would prices become higher if demand increased.

ECON 101

Except that in cRPG, the offer of all items is fixed. Higher demand, constant offer => higher prices.

This idea in general makes sense but would prove to be incredibly unfair with the current disbalances in variety of items in different categories (as I said, compare the number of DGS equivalents and the number of HL equivalents).

Well, instead of increasing upkeep on the more popular items, why not lower the upkeep on the less popular ones? Now that would reward players who use the less used items.

My first generation was a shielder, after that i was a 2h for 15 generations, all with DGS. I like the look of it, i like the range of it and i like how it feels in my e-hands. Iv seen it nerfed, upkeep raised and the raised again and i still used it beacuse i just like it. I dont care if other people use it, i dont care if its the IN weapon.
I used it when the morningstar was the best, used it when the bar mace was the best, used it when the german was the best, but if the upkeep is raised considerably once more, which it will be in this popularity model, ill be forced not to use it.

So fuck your suggestion, and fuck your shittly weeaboo gear. If this goes trough i hope the katana price skyrockets to a plated charger so you can come back to this forum and whine how bad your suggestion was.

Aww..

The DGS is very very good for its price. The price don't reflect that imo. With this system it will.

So cry more.

40 cut, katana got the +3 cut buff, and then you cried how the stab was useless. It is never enough is it? If the stab got 28 pierce you would cry how you cant one shot everything with it. Then when you realised direct buff suggestions stoped being noticed you go for the indirect ones like this. Nice try Thomek, nice try

Thomek... this is not as stupid idea as Frank_The_Tank had with randomising stats but it's very close...

I think my left eye got little perma damage for reading this shit
