Someone has cornered the Stabilized mutant genome market blueside. sell them while they are hot

Guys! I was TRYING to be helpful!

And also trying to start my post with "I don't care!"

It's haaaaaard. Nobody understands.

/em flounce

Given that the amounts of inf involved are so small in absolute terms (seriously, 150k is change in the the cupholder of your fantasticar with the rate inf can be earned in this game) and the duration of price spikes so short... the real effect of these salvage manipulations is negligible.

They provide amusement for the manipulator and psychological torture for the terminally cheap but that's about it. Unless you're going for fieldcrafter at the time in which case you have license to find the person who amped up the price and punch them in the junk.

Best case- follow the trend and sell what you have of the temporarily manipulated item (or ticket roll like mad then do the same) profiting without the work.

Worst case you overpay a bit for something you need noa. If this bothers you you're either way too cheap or terminally stupid. Cheap as in "ZOMG that component I need is 100k when it was 5 yesterday." in a market where most decent IOs are 10-100 million each and 100k is "earned" in a decent AoE attack. Frankly you're clueless about the market if you've a "veteran" and don't have a billion or so laying around.

Fine.

FINE!!!!

I HATE YOU ALL!

/em slams door to room

Do you think he'll come back down when he figures out we took away all his inf sinks until he behaves himself??? ;P

Come on folks - I think it's only appropriate we all give Fulmens a big ol' group hug. Who's with me on this?

I'm with SkeetSkeet and Slax on this one, it's laughable if someone thinks they are making good money on the current salvage cornering. I don't care if something is 50-100k when it is normally <1k, I'm taking it to turn over 5+ mil profit. If a stack of 10 salvage is only getting a few hundred thousand profit, it wouldn't even be close to worth my time.

And Fulmens makes several good points for those that are bothered by the prices, either on principle or simple lack of funds.

All in all though, it's the winter event. As has been pointed out, the mobs for the event drop arcane salvage. Thus, there is less tech salvage being generated, so it is easier to corner them right now. It'll pass when the event ends in a few days.
