As more and more platinum enters the economy, and doesn't have a sink to normalize it prices are going to continue to climb, thats just how it works.

Kagatob

I get that, however prices of items should only slowly increase if the purchasers of said items would actually use their heads and have a semblence of patience.

JBoots MQ went from 4-5K to 7K+ in the matter of one week and the general response is "/shrug dems de economy".

Whatever happened to just waiting for someone to sell the item at the 'normal' price and not giving the price gougers the business so they would have to eventually lower their prices? No, instead everyone with the lower price matches high the second the gouger gets his first sale.

Shit's weak man.

Yeah seriously WTF, I've been making them for over a year and have made well over a thousand bags. Alot of gouging EC going on. Crap items that won't even do good in the end game or nearly top slot items are expensive for no good reason.

Bad grammar aside, I think you're suggesting I take a go at camping a permacamped item... You know the kind of permacamped where the person camping it has 3 corpses there and tells you that you can go on the list, doesn't say when he's done and has a guildie immediately replace him when he's sleeping/selling them.

03-30-2013, 08:09 PM
That's been happening a lot lately. There's a mage or two and another person doing it.

I haven't sold any in a while, but only charge 5k when I do. Always disheartening to see people offering 6-7k right after, but I can't bring myself to ask for that.

Kagatob
03-30-2013, 08:17 PM
It's because nobody on this server has a spine and has no idea the importance of maintaining a proper EQ economy/community. All they can think about is platinum and pixels.

For the record, well for anyone else who might care, it was likely because I (twice) called Tecmos out for being a min/maxer faggot/virgin after he threw a fit about people being bad if they ever get to full hp/mana and started posting statistics and damage parses as if they were some sort of rule of law and money was on the line.

TL;DR version, Tecmos is a faggot and is the 4th side of the Alarti/Eccezan/Alawen squarejerk.

I know this is RnF but god damn, what a whiny post. Go camp it if you are really so upset. AC spawns really AREN'T permacamped, it just sounds to me like you don't try very hard to get the camp. :P Why don't you spend an unlucky 12 hours camping a ring only to sell it for 4k? Would that make you feel better?

I simply want to quest the item, yet at no time during the day is it not camped and each time I ask to be put on the list for next camp I recieve no tells and suddenly someone else is camping the spawn with the original camper no longer online.

It's simple math, any player should not be expected to pay what would amount to 70, 10-dose SoW potions (408+hours of SoW) to bypass doing this quest, which I am not looking for a shortcut through.

All the raised price does is give the MQers have more incentive to hold the camp away from people who want to make an attempt to do the quest themselves because it's apparent that there are players who've been here forever who...

I bought a jboots MQ a couple weeks ago for 5k and the guy told me he got like 3 tells instantly. People are realizing that they can charge more, so they will. 7k still beats camping the ancient cyclops yourself.

Also, a few problems with this reasoning:

* SoW can get dispelled (often with root/snare effects - ghoul root etc.) or you can die so it's really not 408+ hours.

* Even if every single SoW lasts full duration, you'll go through 7k of sow potions in a month if you play a lot, 2-3 months if you play casually.

* No one wants to run around with 4 backpacks full of SoW potions and then go back to the bank when those run out.

* Jboots are instant cast, SoW potions take something like 4 seconds to cast, which is pretty important especially when you have aggro against a mob that can root/snare/dispel.


Jboots are simply better, so pony up the dough. If 7k is too much for you, I think Traveler's Boots are about 5k.

If you're only interested in doing the quest and not purchasing them, then I don't get the point of complaining about their cost in EC.

Even if you cut the number in half (which it would never come to that), that's still a shitton of hours of SoW. Also you seem to be assuming you'd drop the money on the potions all at once. I have a lvl 40 necro that's gone through a total of 2, 10-dose sow potions so far (200pp) and am ready to camp AC myself if it would ever become available to camp.
* Even if every single SoW lasts full duration, you'll go through 7k of sow potions in a month if you play a lot, 2-3 months if you play casually.
*does some quick math*
5+ hours a day every day is casual to you? You're rediculious.
* No one wants to run around with 4 backpacks full of SoW potions and then go back to the bank when those run out..
If you're carrying more than two 10-dose potions at a time you're doing something terribly terribly wrong.
* Jboots are instant cast, SoW potions take something like 4 seconds to cast, which is pretty important especially when you have aggro against a mob that can root/snare/dispel. This is pretty much your first point only reworded. Speed buff won't overwrite a snare either way so that point is moot, besides, over 90% of the time you would ever be fighting a mob that would cast dispell or root/snare on you you're either A: Indoors, B: In a group (likely can be buffed by a member) or C: High enough lvl to camp AC yourself, which again I'm trying to do.

Again, (apparently I can't stress this enough) since their rise in price a couple of weeks ago they have been perma-camped.

Edit:: forgot to mention, Wiki says that Traveler's Boots is Velious era content and is not available on P99 yet. Even if it were, 5k is stupid to pay for an item that's inferior to something that was 4k 3 weeks ago.

AC for the most part is perma-camped. I do not know if you have ever been there on this server. But anyone who works a job only has a 5% chance of getting it when they get off worked, and only slightly larger if they can play weekends and wake up at 5-6am PST. I've done the camp multiple times, I've also been one of those people with loot corpses I have never sold them for more than 4.5k-5k. But you do need to go through the ringer to get the camp.

I've gotten the camp several times and have a job, don't get on at 5AM PST, or any of the other nonsense here. I got the camp yesterday, after about 30-45 minutes of waiting following my request to be on the list.

SRo is also open fairly often just passing by, even during prime time sometimes.

As mentioned above 5, 6, 7k is better than camping it if you have anything else to do.

You either got lucky, or camp isn't as popular as it was a month ago when I was last there. True, Sro AC is less camped; but in the years I've been on this server I have always found the AC in oot to be better.

Starting to think you want to just complain on the forum as opposed to actually put in some times to get a menial item. You're just sounding like a silly contrarian now.

Byrjun
03-31-2013, 11:52 AM
Oh, and I didn't realize Traveler's Boots were Velious, I thought they were added the same time as tink bags (same vendor). I wouldn't know since I have no problem paying a few thousand plat for an item that gives you instant cast runspeed on demand.

Seeing as you're 16 IRL, I can understand how you would be susceptible to thinking everything is a conspiracy theory, fact being it's far from true. When I bought my JBoot MQ it was from some dude who played a couple hours a night because he had RL and kids, he's a good guy and earned himself a /friend nod. Dude's legit only on a few hours a night, a few days a week.

EVERYONE would like JBoots on their char, and considering at peak times Blue is at right under 1k online, I would say it's more logical that there are a lot of people with the class and levels to camp these items for money/themselves vs. secret Jboot Blood alliance using hundreds of man hours to inflate and item for 20-40%.

You we're sucking your moms tits when we were playing live, so I get that you can't site Live during this era as a comparison, but on 7k would have been a fucking steal for JBoots on Tallon Zek, and you have no idea the "list" AC and shadowed men had, this shits the Diet version of CampQuest. You can get on a 5am EST and theres 250 people on THE ENTIRE SERVER if you cant camp an item you want you suck and have failed at EQ

You're too funny. I have 3 total to sell, and yes I am bound in OOT. I am seriously not always there though. Remember how I was in Seb on Marquess last week? The "J-boots Trade Federation" comment was a flippant remark, by the way. I made that name up on the fly when we were talking. I do stand by what I said though. Several of us would like who like to sell the MQs would like to raise the price, and so what? How can one afford to buy the other items with the now higher prices if one doesn't raise their own sometimes?

I work 3rd shift and have an hour commute each way. I'm lucky to wake up by 5pm by which time I have less than 5 hours before I have to be out the door, meanwhile the server is alredy at 800+ pop and SRo has around 4, lvl 40+ people waiting in line.
Checked again today like I do every day. The same mage from Swampwater Taffy that I've seen for the past 3 days has been there.

Tell that to the crafters. They're prices have been solid for as far back as I've seen or can look up back through wiki. Same goes for the prices of crafting/research materials and aside from epics/Soulfire, pretty much every single other quest item in the game.

It was definately mages the past 3 days, maybe your guild stood out because it was the most recent in memory.

There was even a 36 cleric claiming the camp last week, how he could hold that camp I have no idea.

Believe me, if I could play EQ from work and camp the thing at 4am I would, but I can't.

It's to vent about the situation and to express the importance that something be done to improve the community or at least some aspect of it.

There are admittedly bigger issues that need addressing, The raid scene and character sales to name two, but I picked the inflation and JBoots in particular because it's something that's much easier to change and if that change happens, the server can move on to bigger things. :)

jboots are easily worth 7k, they are useful, in demand and a boring camp. They give a chance to lvl 30 ish noobs to make some money. Why so mad?

Just sold my JBB for twice what i paid for it. I figure when the population drops again i'll pick one up again, for a nice amount of cash.

Would sell my fungi but they have not scaled up as much.

Bad grammar aside, I think you're suggesting I take a go at camping a permacamped item... You know the kind of permacamped where the person camping it has 3 corpses there and tells you that you can go on the list, doesn't say when he's done and has a guildie immediately replace him when he's sleeping/selling them.

Your idea of how camped something like AC is.... is honestly ridiculous. I've had access to the AC camp on numerous occasion with as little effort as 'happen to be running through' and thats multiple times in the last month, with no intent on ever going to that camp and camping it myself. Put in a tiny bit of effort... it's not that hard.

Poopsocking a spawn for 8 hours a day over several days is not a "tiny bit of effort".

Checked the camp from 9am-2pm again yesterday before passing out for the day. Oddone was there again for 4 hours followed by someone else I don't remember who.

Wait .. AC in sro is a wandering mob.

You can't "be in line" for a wandering mob. Just wait for him to pop and kill it.

If they KS, petition and get your ring transferred.

Problem solved.

It's just like any other camp, if you are at the camp in range to attack the mob as it spawns, it's your camp. Someone waiting to be in the camp once you are finished with it would be next 'in line'.

Read the fucking thread dude. They're permacamped by the sellers. It's not even about the platinum anymore, I'm fine with SoW potions, I just want to complete the quest on my own. Sorry if I don't have 12 hours to sit back and watch someone else farm 4 rings making 3 corpses before they get bored only to pass the camp over to their friend/guildie.

Doesn't matter what time of day/night I log in. It's been permacamped for the past 3 weeks.

I've gotten 2, and my brother has gotten 3 within the past month. Sometimes people corpse them at the spawn and keep camping them, most of the times they don't. I got my first ring on my very first spawn, in 30 mins.

It's irrelevant anyway, no matter what the time requirement is, you're not entitled to a ring. Either put in the time to camp one, buy one, or shut the fuck up.

p.s. I sold one of mine for 7k

This is 100% false. It has not been permacamped for 3 weeks. I have seen it open on multiple occassions and had the chance to take the camp myself multiple times.

Unless you are logged in 24/7 for the last 3 weeks staring at the camps, you can't make such a statement.

All I'm saying, is its a camp I keep an eye on and don't even aggressively try to get, and its been available many times in the last month. And no, its not being permacamped by 'sellers'. I've ran into multiple people getting the boots for themselves, and who cares if they are getting the boots to resell? You can go camp any item you'd like as well.
