Good luck on your other 2 points and may be the froth be with you

Mmmm... frothing preparations commencing. Gonna finish gettin that craftin badge for the craftin table tonight if it kills me. Or anything around me.....

Sadly, crafting in the AE map doesn't give crafting badge progress, if that was your plan.

Player 1: "I've got a Luck Charm for sale. 10 inf and it's yours."

Player 2: "I won't pay an inf under 200,000!"

Player 1: "Really? I'm only asking for 10. I'm practically giving it to you. It costs me more to post it than I'll make on it."

Player 2: "Why are you being so greedy? Take my thousands and enjoy!"

Player 1: ".... I don't think you understand what greed means."

Player 2: (later) "The market is so mean to me...I had to pay 200,000 inf for a Luck Charm!"

Player 3 (an alt of Player 1): *snicker*


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Yeah, as posted in the other thread you don't get badge credit from anything in the AE so Field Crafter isn't going to work. But it will save you travel time if you need to craft IOs you want to use or sell

On a related side note: someone noticed today that you can't craft the Lost Curing Wand from the Heroside Midnighter Arc, either. It just deletes the salvage and you get no wand! Weird.


Craft your inventions in AE!!

Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

Desired resolution: This helps track down the farmers and the BM jackers, then everyone that plays the game can refuse to play with the jerk that makes this aspect of the game infuriating to the player base. The community will sort out the bad apples and the devs can easily boot/slap/punish/immolate/draw&quarter the BM Jerks.
Devs aren't going to give a stuff about people playing the market. It isn't an exploit. You might find some of their activities unsavoury (and I'd agree when Rubies cost 200k; which I refuse to pay) but that's not an exploit.

What is more likely is those who have a niche market are going to now know about another player selling one or two items in their niche and play with the prices so that that person loses out.

2. Make listings time sensitve, 1 week max length, and the price you paid to list it is GONE FOREVER. This will incentivise sellers to put an actual reasonable price on their items instead of just listing something for an inflated price and letting it sit for months. It'll start costing them to try and jerk around the BM so they'll have to drop the prices in order to actually move their stock.
I suggest most people want their stuff to sell. Personally, I don't want market slots tied up for a month. The only times I've let something sit is on an alt I don't play (not many) and I listed for a lot of money which was then far too high but *looked reasonable when I listed it*. I leave it for a while and if it doesn't sell, I eat the listing fee. The last time this happened was a Respec Recipe which went from 200 mil to about 120 mil; I know many will scoff at the listing fee on that but to me at the time it was a very large amount.

3. FOR THE AE/BM/UNIVERSITY: ... can you not allow us to have our recipe window open at the same time we're trying to use the AE Ticket Vendor?
Agreed. I have a bad memory and my desk looks like an explosion in a paper factory.

Really don't want to see any more ugly AE buildings but you may find "The Crafter's Cafe" arc handy in AE. It's based in RWZ and the crafting tables work. It's by Backfire.

I'd still prefer an undercover and quiet area for the BM. Undercover because market/respecing redside is a nuisance with Rikit/Zombie's and quiet because ... lag/distractions suck when you're trying to refit a whole char.

its starting to feel like they're working harder at punishing the player, instead of rewarding them.
If we take that comment and apply it to the 812 currencies we have, I whole heartedly agree. More so the Incarnate currencies than tickets/inf/reward merits/A merits but it is getting a bit OTT.

I pay 111,111 for a luck charm because it's easier than moving my finger a fraction and typing 55,555.


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 ):
