Bored with the market.

Anyone else bored with the market and the market forum?

No new challenges, no new sets, no new IOs.

They are putting alot of time and effort into new power sets, new incarnate powers, slotting and content but they have left us marketeers twiddling our thumbs (again). Most of the new stuff is bind on pick up and un-tradeable

Since War Witch had them merge the BM and WW there isn't even anything to talk about.

Anyone else out there think we need the invention system revamped and new sets added?

Rampant premature enhancement converters speculation not enough for you?

Time to play the game.

We still don't have purple sets for many things and many categories are lacking in options with only 3-4 sets and out of those only one having desirable set bonuses.

Any time you're making your own fun* , you can expect limited dev support. Base builders have a similar problem, and the devs should support them before us IMO.

* By doing something other than "playing missions and beating badguys", which is pretty much the core activity of the game.

I would love to see a revamp of old set bonuses and sets honestly.

I would love to see:
A Purple Healing set
More Accurate Defense Debuff sets
More Targeted AoE sets
A Purple Slow set
A Purple Luck set
A Purple Resistance set

And enough with the debt protection/reduction bonuses.. I mean debt is irrelevant in this game anyways.

None of that is what came to mind then I saw a suggestion to "revamp" the sets. Nor, personally, would any of that make the market more interesting to me. Sure, it would liven up what's interesting, and force people to re-evaluate niches and such.

That's not "interesting" to me. To me, what was interesting about the market was figuring out how it worked at a basic level, and debating that with posters here. We pretty much long ago stopped finding those topics controversial. While I'm sure there are still people who don't agree about how the market works, most of the old guard have settled on explanations that they find sufficiently functional for how they use it. Introducing new supply/demand shocks into the existing market isn't going to change how the market works, and isn't likely to introduce any new controversy about the same. (It may reawaken some old controversy, but that's not really the same, IMO.)

The only thing that would make the market interesting again for me would be if they changed the way the market actually functioned. But frankly, I don't want them to do that, because the market works for me. As much fun as the market provided me at one point, it was always a means to an end - making characters who could punch face better. Disrupting how it works would disrupt my ability to use it for that, while risking that I might not actually enjoy the modified market itself. I'd rather they kept change elsewhere.

There are a few key features about the market that make it behave the way it does. Such as: seeing only five past transaction bid-for prices but not sell-at prices, limited stack sizes for transactions, the market fee structure, the two-billion price limit, and that sellers keep any over-bid amounts. Probably a few other features I've overlooked here.

Just imagine; how different would the market would be if you could bid on stacks of a hundred salvage? Or a thousand? What sorts of changes could be feasible, interesting, but not completely revolutionary? What if you could see the min and max prices sold at for an item over the past few days? Or a week?
