Ahem.
I mean, that someone as scatterbrained as me can play the market is proof that the market is not hard to use. Right? Right?!

Not really, that's just the cap for what the market can handle. I'm selling this Temporal Analyzer for 3.5B, if anyone is interested.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Wow, didn't realize they had reached the cap. I wonder if the devs are bothered by this...

I've never cared enough to look into this... but is there some reason 64 man free for alls wouldn't make lots of people rich?
The PvP IOs have a low drop rate to start with, and the rate at which they're eligible to drop is tied to the reputation timer. So, even in a large brawl, the odds of getting one are slim, and everyone would have to change partners after the first round to get a rep-eligible kill.
Sounds kinda like a square dance, actually

Sounds like exploiting and a bannable offense. You could be banned in LotRO for fight clubbing that way for rewards.

Its neither bannable nor exploiting. Not anymore than our old arena farms were anyways.

I've flipped them in the past for a 500 million mark up. But its a little nerve racking ... thats alot of investment if drop rates were to change. But the prices have been running like this for a while now.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I need to flip at least one just to say that I have. |

As I was deleting spam emails yesterday, I saw something that caught my attention. One of the sites is now selling Inf in 10B blocks. So yes, prices have seriously gotten WAY out of hand.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
I've moved on to Diablo 3, TopDoc-1304
I'd like to claim that I called it first: (click here)
(Actually I never claimed the dollar for the hat that KeepDistance bought... I wonder if he ever got it?)
I flipped one for a billion profit once. Only once though.

Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about. Also, what is and isn't ok in Lotro isn't relevant here.

I hope you don't waste CS's time by carrying through with ideas like that often.

OK, you can PvP, but you gotta TRY HARD. You gotta really HATE who you're fighting. None of that casually fighting your friends for fun stuff. None of that testing out your survivability by just standing there stuff. If we catch you not giving it your all, you're BANNED!!!
I don't know what goes on in LotRO, and it's not like I know what they'll decide is a bannable offense, but not trying hard enough to stay alive in PvP sounds like a funny one.

If anyone with a few blueside 50s on Virtue wants to try and farm these, drop me a PM
I play redside exclusively, but IIRC the timer's 5 minutes and just cycling through the alts I can get into RV would pretty much cover that.
I thought about trying this with the wife's account, but since we only play redside it'd be a ton of work to set up.
Anyone else notice the Galdiator's Armor +3% def that went for 2 billion influence?
I knew these were getting expensive, but is that the new normal? Am I late to this party? Or is this a new high? Are we going to have to start buying and selling these off market now since they've become price capped?
And is anyone flipping these? With an 800 million influence spread in prices over just a few days, that smells like opportunity to me, but I'm a little afraid to dive in since I haven't been paying close attention, so I don't know if it's just a temporary price spike.
