But you'd actually waste an alignment merit to potentially pay for a TEMPOARY version of this power?

All I can say is that you're a weirder person than I am, Gunga Din.

Or, i think i'll just buy crap that i don't need just to inflate the values because i have nothing better to do in life and i don't really care if someone else is looking for these items for actual usage.

To think that people aren't treating WW like this are lieing to themselves and us. I've seen posts and pics of said actions. So, keep telling us how the "player base" sets the prices and i'll keep telling you how the alot of the buyers are just victims of the above actions that are skyrocketing the prices in WW.

I've never done PvP but I may do it now. Can we do Team PvP in CoH? Let's set something up for June and settle this. Controllers can beat Doms...haha.

I'll let you set the numbers. 5vs5, 10vs10, 15vs15. I'll set something up for the First weekend after memorial day 2011 after I hear from you, ok?

Fact: Farming AE drops AE tickets and Influence, no Salvage of any kind. You can trade in 560 tickets for a Rare piece of salvage, or you can roll for Commons at 8 tickets each. It would take a *long* time to roll out the equivalent of 1 Rare and carry it over to the market, especially for people who only have the basic 30-slot Salvage inventory.

Fact: A couple weeks before I19, another exploit was discovered in AE, which couldn't be fixed because the game was in a "no touching the code until the next Issue release" development state. High-level Common salvage reserves dried up and the prices soared from their usual 1-1000 inf to as much as 500k. High-level Rares fell from their usual 3-5 million range into below 1 million. When I19 was released and patched the exploit, high-level commons dropped back to dirt cheap prices with thousands available, and high-level rares shot right back up to 3-4 million.

Which is more likely?

1) Around the time the AE exploit started making the rounds, by sheer coincidence, all the marketers stopped fixing prices on high-level rares and went around fixing prices on high-level commons instead, which caused high level rares to drop to their "real" value. Once Issue 19 launched and patched the exploit, again by complete coincidence, all the marketeers at once abandoned the common salvage and went back to fixing prices on rares instead.

2) As the exploit started making the rounds, farmers moved to AE, and turned all their tickets into Rare salvage, causing a surplus of rares and a shortage of commons. Once the exploit was fixed, they went back to farming some regular map (Battle Maiden or something) and once again produced many commons and few Rares each reset.

This is just one example. I could name others in recent memory, like the massive crash on low-level salvage as soon as I18 came out and players were no longer rushing past levels 1-22 as soon as possible. Prices on the market have little to do with manipulation and everything to do with what parts of the game are being played by the majority.

This discussion is about, to use Humility's words, garbage salvage that sells for 500 and spikes up to 300k. Those are the numbers I am referring to and "low" in this case would be that 500 figure.

The Alpha slot is currently in working order in the latest build, but the interface is crappy, which naturally won't be its state upon release. I think it would be reasonable to expect its release within ten days or so.
