Don't buy players overpriced retro-nerf items

Devil · #1 04-07-2011, 10:48 AM

I see people already trying to pawn off MCTs, Fungi Robes, etc.

Seriously, if you are going to spend upwards of 100k on shit items like this that get turned into worthless doggy doodoo later down the road, I ask that you PLEASE PLEASE give your money to me instead. If you are dumb enough to spend that much plat on items that are obviously not *that* hard to get if there are already multiples floating around on the server, you either:

1) are a dumbass

or

2) are a plat-hax0r

Either way, your money would go to a better cause if you put it in a trade window with me and hit accept. Promise you won't regret it as much as you will in a few months from now when that ridiculously overpriced Fungi Robe is worth 500p.

Who said you couldn't say what you wanted to, or rant what you wanted to?

In the same mind set as you, I will do the same. Keep worrying about other players and how they play. Keep your cock occupied with your Kleenex box.

You do realize that some people in the marketplace on p99 are really out to make pixel profits....

For those of us who participate in RL - this is known as an Economy. Some people / companies sell products / services for excessive amounts.

Go figure, the same model follows P99....sigh, guess you can never escape RL huh devil?

Oh well. Thats the way its gotta be.

I also forgot I can't make a thread in R&F especially where some butt hurt douche like like Koota needs to come and leave his mark

People are still going to do what they want to do, regardless of what I, or anyone else said.

It's a rant. I think it's funny that people could be at such a low intelligence level, knowing full well that this stuff gets nerfed hard in the ass, and yet still purchase it for insane amounts of platinum. Lets be honest the only reason it's controlled is because shit is permacamped for the time being. My only hopes are that most people won't be stupid enough to put that much money into the hands of jackasses aiming to rip people off because they can.

I was curious about the issue myself, hence my decision to feel out the market on my fungi robe. The amounts people are paying for lots of items is sort of ludicrous, but hey, that is their prerogative.

I got a Froglok Bonecaster's Robe the other night and thought "hey this would be cool to have for my enchanter for resist gear." But honestly, I would almost never wear it - my insidious robe is better really. FBC is pretty damn common and I sold it for 10k almost immediately. One guy tried offering me 11k after I told him I had already agreed to sell it to someone else for 10k. The fucker actually got pissed at me and called my life pathetic (in so many words) because I didn't allow them to enter into a bidding war (I believe his name was Bunae or something like that).

So yeah, the market is hot and people are going to capitalize on it. What is this fungi robe worth to a person? I don't know. We're just going to see more and more of them. And yeah, at some point they will get nerfed. But in the meantime that robe could be ridiculous item for a twink. If you had 200k in the bank and rolled an Iksar Monk today, what would you pay to use that robe up to 60? I'd probably pay way more than is really necessary, but that's because I have a single-digit IQ.

I'm curious to hear others' opinions on the matter.

Brother if you wanna sell it, then you have that right. And with things being the way they are, the seller basically sets the price and hell if someone buys it for the outrageous price they buy it for, thats their problem.

As my thread originally stated, I was aiming at the purchaser not the seller. Those willing to pay the insane amount for an item that eventually becomes next to worthless, are stupid at best.

But hey, if you can capitalize on other peoples stupidity, thats not your fault.

Let's be honest for a second.

The shit gets nerfed, as in, at a certain point - the shit that drops - at that point - will be nerfed. Not the items that are being sold. It won't overnight have it's stats changed, unless I am seriously mistaken.

So, let me just go ahead and end your thread for you bro.
