Nicely played! 
very nice Smurph!
I wonder if screenshots & a short film will inspire people to hop on the respec bandwagon- I've been touting its benefits for years now with very little effect.

My City Was Gone
One word for what he just did to the market:
PWNT.
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Crafted Ragnarok for $30 million is what I saw in one of those screenshots lol
I wonder if the drop rate was deliberately decreased. That would force more players to pay $10 for a respec instead of $20 for 1b from RMT, which was equivalent to about 10 BM respecs a couple months ago.
Keep forcing that price up, it's still another 300m before paying the inf farmers is only a break-even proposition.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

I'm not forcing the price up. I bought when it was low. Now I will sit around and do nothing until it is high. Respec recipes have consistently behaved in this manner since their inception.|

Freespec = increased supply = price goes down. This is simply economics at work. Add in powerset proliferation where many players roll new characters and the price fell like a rock.
Less than a month ago the price on both sides was around 200M. I simply identified when prices would hit rock bottom and bought.
so you are the one that stole all my profits and undercut me I'm sitting on a few that aren't selling
I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.

Outstanding way to play the market!!!

Unless the drop rate fix and AE tweaks cause supply to continue to rise and prices to fall to their I13 level of around 25M. It'll be interesting to see.|

OMG yes thank the nerd gods.

it will still take a while for the prices to come down so he can still make some profit off of them. |

*crosses fingers for smurphy.
Don't forget to craft them before selling for the maximum profit :P
Blah, I was looking to get a respec recipe for my brute but the $70 mil - $150 mil is not what I'm willing to pay (yes, I have lower bids in place). I'll have to man up and run the respec trial now.

Isn't this kind of a dangerous investment with a pool A rare in i16?
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

respecs are a special case, they're one of those recipes where supply always outstripes demand EXCEPT right after a freespec.

Maybe... even so, purples were pretty damn cheap compared to today before I14 hit. I remember buying full sets of Soulbound Allegiance and Gravitational Anchor for my MM and they didn't run me more than 100 mil for each set. Ragnaroks weren't more than 20-40 mil at that time so I picked some up for my Crab - went to buy another set more recently, saw the really high prices, and used Posi's Blast instead. |

Everything seems to be going according to plan.

basic rule: unless heavy taxation is imposed or drop rates are increased exponentially, influence builds in the coh world faster than drops; hence almost everything is a sure-fire investment.
[i said this while half of arena chat screamed at me for wasting my money on 30 mill inf glad's javelin procs pre-pvp drops nerf... git wrek world]
I had no clue I could sell them...
I guess you can't with freespecs.
Issue 16
Free Respec? Yes.
Powerset Proliferation? Yes. Many players roll new characters who don't need respecs and may have Veteran respecs available.
Opportunity knocks and I answer.
Heroside:
11 at 71M = 782,222,221
17 at 75M = 1,276,888,887
Villainside:
21 at 101M = 2,123,333,331
49 Total (Curse you Tark for buying 1!) at 4,182,444,439
At 150M each sell price: 7.35B * .9 = 6,615,000,000
Estimated Profit at 150M = 2.4B
A look back in the past:
Teabag screenshot? No, JoJo does a movie.
