Wow. I had no idea these had gotten this high. I have a handul across several levels. Don't think I paid more then 4 or 5M per recipe. May have to ebilly unload some.

I've barely played this week-end. Turned a level 6 Dom into a 13, got 3 levels on my DB/Rgb scrapper, and played about 4 hours of market lulz across a few dozen marketeering characters. Most of them are just starting, though, so I've just turned a few hundred thousand into a few tens of million on each of them. I haven't had the urge to play much this time through. However, I might check out the recipe deal to get a few more marketeer characters start-up funds.

Clearly, and iPhone app is in order!

I'm not even casual enough to purple my warshade, but I'm sure if the devs would give us sufficiently low price caps, I would soon be able to.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
shhhh...
It's funny when people think Rags' suggestion is to help the casual players.

All the above market supporters are wrong. The devs can fix this by implementing market caps. Everyone should be clamoring for market caps. Preferably something in the low millions, and certainly no more than 20-30 million.

Quote:Stupid reply. Not everyone can afford all the IOs that they want. Unless the devs make the market a fixed-price store instead and set prices to what anyone can earn in a few minutes of play. And still there will be people complaining about prices.Originally Posted by Donna_
Stupid reply, I meant everyone can enjoy it by being able to afford the IO's that they want.
I wasn't saying the IO sytem was flawed! I think the IO system is amazing. Read closer before you reply pls.

Quote:I want them to put the hero-con costume options in as ultra-rare recipe drops. Make them one every hundred purple? Every thousand purples? Make it possible to get them but very improbable. I'd put in bids for them, even though they confer no actual performance benefit as you note.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
r/e ultra super rare GOLD SETS:
if the devs added a recipe that would, let's say, add a customizable glow to your costume, and they made it ultra super duper rare....it would be the most expensive thing in the game in spite of conferring zero performance benefit.

This thread makes me want to go and destroy all of some categories of salvage on the black market. I know it's not strictly related to the topic at hand, but I want to see if I can get someone to come here and complain how they were "forced" to spend 1M inf for something that should go for "no more than 500."
I may go login and do that now. Expect pics if I do it.

Most of the above posters are wrong. We need price caps. Plz. kthxbai.

Quote:Truth. Every time I read the GM Dave link, I laugh. Sometimes, it almost makes me wish I were a GM. But then I remember that not all GM <--> player interactions get to be as fun as that one and I give up the dream.Originally Posted by Catwhoorg
I would like to thank Squez for linking GM Dave in the thread.
My lawyers will be in touch, due to the large split in my sides caused by linking said site.

I went, and the thread was already locked before I could make my love of the OP known. I wanted to reimburse him 100 times what he "lost" just so I could thank him for today's entertainment.

Quote:If awarded this spot, I promise to tirelessly pursue market caps. I feel that this can help the little people much more than they could ever even understand. Every time one of them calls for a market cap, I will bring to bear all my marketing pull to get the request sounded out with the devs. If you cannot trust me as a czar to get the lowest possible market caps, I will feel that I have failed you all.Originally Posted by Smurphy
Very well written I enjoyed it.
"Introduce an oversight committee on all Wenthworth transactions to approve all sales and business conducted. I will appoint an auctions "Czar" to head this committee."
I nominate Ragman as an, undoubtedly, impartial supervisor. I would like to stake my reputation on him being a fair and honest Czar who would do nothing but think of the super wealt--I mean the casual player.

Quote:Rumors of this event are greatly exaggerated. There were 80+ ceramic plate left on my side, as I wasn't willing to bid more than 10,000 (plus a few). Unless you did it again with someone else.Originally Posted by Chaos Creator
I'd point you to the thread where I and a partner bought out every single ceramic armor plate blue and red but the purge ate that long ago..
Buying stuff out = fun.
If it *DID* happen, it might look something like this when all is said and done.

Quote:Fair enough claim, but I know I've successfully done this ever since I11, so I doubt it is going away.
Ragman: A year ago that was "put up a bid for ten level 30 Recharge Reduction recipes for 1300 inf each, come back the next day, sell at vendor for 4000" (or whatever the level and price and sale price were.) Stuff that works RIGHT NOW won't necessarily work in the future.
RagManX -
Buy level 25 and 30 Accuracy, Damage, Recharge, Endurance Modification, and Endurance reduction recipes from a crafting table. Put them on the market for twice what you paid. Come back tomorrow with more than double your inf.

Hi folks.
I didn't come here to be Rational, Factual, or Accurate.
I have a simple question;
Are you trying to kill the game?
Prices from 250,000,000 to 400,000,000 on Purple sets, and certain Procs are absolutely outrageous.
Respec Recipe 200,000,000?
Normal players of this game can not come close to spending this kind of influence/infamy when they sell those items. Are you trying to force the Spam Sites out of business with giving this much potential earnings to casual players?
Are you a source of sorrow for the Spam Sites?
What gives?
I have several 50's and have enjoyed playing them, and IO'ing them.
I just created a new toon, and at your current Market Pricing, she'll never have a shortage of influence when it is time to buy SOs and common IOs.
You think peeps will keep playing when they don't spend all their influence/infamy to IO their toons?
Whats up with this?
Your welcome. -
I have gotten 4 purple drops since they were released. I'll never get my L50 warshade slotted properly.

Quote:2XP has lead to some crazy stuff, hasn't it. I had a dozen or more identical crafted IOs from levels 40-42, listed for 80-105% of last-5 pricing. They sat literally for weeks before 2XP week-end with no more than 1 sale every 10-20 days. The week after 2XP, 6 of them sold for around 175% last-5 price. That someone would bid 17M for something typically selling for 10-12M without at least trying a bid around what was successful in the past just boggles my mind. I'm happy to take their money, but really don't mind if they just pay around what I'm looking to sell for.Originally Posted by ElectricaBanana
I buy/craft/sell one set IO to make my market money. Since 2XP, I've still been able to buy the recipe for ~500k. I used to get ~2mil in profit from selling the enhancement. Now, since right before 2XP and last night, I'm getting anywhere from 5-7mil profit, and I'm left shaking my head wondering why people are so willing to give away inf. I mean, I'll take it. I expect that if current trends continue, I'll hit 2bil by the weekend on my current marketeer. Oh, and I have NOT adjusted my asking price, either. It's still where it was pre price spike.. So people could buy for less, they're just choosing not to.

Quote:Yes. And I remember long ago when some tank primaries (all primaries? It's been too long) got taunt at level 4. That was switched to level 10 quite a bit later - I think it was after the great defense nerf of oh-something. Logged in my level 5 fire/axe about a year later and she still had taunt. Felt the need to burn a freespec to fix that since the friend I played her with had quit and I just soloed her after playing her again.Originally Posted by Carnifax_EU
What's weird here to me is that power switching aboot has been done before. War Mace got one of their powers (single target attack I think) moved to level 4 or 6 previously.

Defs are getting traps? Man, I really need to keep up with coming updates better. I'm really enjoying my /traps corruptor, although he's still a bit of a lowbie. I'll probably give a traps/dark ('trops + hentaicles) or a traps/sonic a shot.

So I'm about to hit 1B on another villain, and have to decide whether to post another screen shot when he hits, or go for the inf cap before posting a screenie ,or just keep my ebil to myself this time. Then I need to get one of my heros to 1B to be in the purple (red + blue) ebil club.

I agree with Banshee about asking in the dom forum, but my guess is slot for damage, Acc, and recharge. I know on controllers the power already lasts long enough without slotting immob duration.
