1.5 billion?
Sheesh, those things really that pricey these days? 
I haven't looked in ages, but i'm pretty sure last time i saw them go for over 500 mil already, so it's not unlikely (i'm inclined to say over 800 mil but i'm not sure).
Of course the euro servers aren't linked to the US ones AFAIK so the prices will differ a bit.
Like Underworld? Then take a look at! http://moonid.net/account/recruitmen.../monstersgame/

Yeah, I saw that IO go for 2 billion as a ready-made enhancement.
1-1.5 bill seems to be the going price for the recipe nowadays.
I didn't even know that anybody could get that much inf, until I saw those prices. Had to count the zeros to be sure 
Good luck with the sale, though. It'd cost at least 100mil just to put it in the BM 
(Edit: The 2bill one was actually the Gladiator's Whatever, but the set bonus is the same)
The "set bonus" isn't actually the same. Here we're talking about 3% Resistance which is much less useful than the 3% Defense you can get from Gladiator's Armor.

I wonder, is this really what the devs wanted when they created PvP IO's? 1.5 billion market price, seriously? And I know that that really is what they sell for.
Marketeers get the PvP rewards without PvP. And the drop rates are still so low that many PvP players won't ever see them.

The EU and US server AH/BMs are linked. Likewise the AE.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

I seriously doubt the devs actually think of market values when they implement new drops. The market values are, after all, set by the players. An item which many players think is valuable will cost loads regardless of what the devs think. They could've foreseen the end result by looking at the drop rates and current market behaviour, but I really, really don't think that is their job.

Not their job to monitor all aspects of the game? You have it wrong: the players don't completely set the market price: they control demand, but the dev-set drop rates control supply. Players will pay that because it's scarce and good, not just because it's good. And it is ENTIRELY the devs job to watch the game. You might as well say it isn't their job to police AE farms: after all, it's all player-created content, right?|

When something in the game is working well, the devs are under no obligation to make changes. I was merely wondering aloud if this was REALLY what they intended PvP IO's to be: a reward for marketeers who don't even care for PvP at all, in addition to a reward for the hardcore PvP players.
As for things costing loads regardless: costume recipes. Or look at the HUGE drop in recipe prices when AE went live. Supply is just as important as demand in setting a market value.

It's a reasonable argument that anything that can be bought or sold - and indeed, the entire auctionhouse system itself - is a reward for hardcore marketeers. It creates and rewards an entirely new type of play within the game that some people find, if not fun, at least worth the time investment. |

Ultimately the creator's goal is to get people to invest time and money in their game. Therefore, PVP IOs are for marketeers as well as PVPers.

I still don't think the devs should care about the market prices. It's US, the players, who set them, not just your "marketeers". If no one would buy the items at those prices the marketeers would have to drop them, but because people buy them at those prices the marketeers do it just because they can. Now, if you there was a limit on the lowest price of the item (say, no lower than 100mil) THAT would be something that should concern the devs. It's not exploiting the system like AE farming.
