The limited number of Rubicite BPs on this server will only go down as people quit.
When Kunark comes out this will be a bank ornament, something to link to people when u are bored. The functionality of this item will be reduced to 0 as soon as Ceremonial Iksar Chestplates(+5hp/6sec) and Fungus Covered Scale Tunics(+15hp/6sec) start being sold.

35k seems like a good chunk of change to drop on an item that will be rendered useless by the time the next expansion hits. Who cares if it isnt dropping in the game anymore? Who cares if its red, black, blue, or gold. The only thing i look at when buying gear is the functionality, and this bp will be trash by kunark. I remember on live, when kunark had been out for a while u couldnt get rid of a rubicite bp to save your life, and if someone did manage to sell out it was for a stupid cheap price (IE iksar bp on my server was around 7k, rubi bp went for 3-5k.) I for one wouldnt drop 35k on an item that in less than a year (hopefully) will depreciate in value that much.

People can spend their plat however they want, but the safe bet is to level up, and as soon as kunark comes live go hit up old sebilis and trak's teeth. Get yourself a regen bp thats not going to be outdated ever...

Just my two cents, im not a shaman or a melee, but i have to say the economics are universal. If u have hundreds of thousands of plat to throw around then by all means by all the rubi bp's, it wont matter to you. otherwise id say save that cash for a real investment.

Your not the rest of the server. If the majority of the server is willing to pay 35k for it, then thats what the item is worth.

Thats like saying FBSS will be obsolete when Kunark comes out because of hangmans noose and sash of the dragon born so im not gonna pay 12-14k for it now!

Where does your arguement end with any item currently available? Rubi BP doesnt drop anymore making it a sought after item by many, the only regen item in game currentl, only red BP currently, and a great twink and shaman BP. You sir are a moron.

No one know when Kunark will be released, hell it could be another year from now for all we know.

It's funny that you say the economics of this are universal. Did you play on live servers? Rubi BP was far more than 35k, never lost value as it got rarer (actually continued to go up in value - almost certainly faster than the rate of inflation of plat). It got to the point where Rubi BP was an incredibly rare item.

No one is saying it is better than Fungi or anything close to that. The fact is, however, that it was worth more than Fungi on live. And there were probably a lot more of them on live than on this server. (though I don't know how many were farmed on here before it was removed as a drop)

Even if an individual only had 35k to throw around, if they place more value in the cosmetics of the Rubi BP over the functionality that the same amount of pp would buy in terms of more functional goods, then that's that.

Arguing about it is about as inane as arguing about the best color for a mousepad. Let's stop hammering this guy's sale post - although the bumps are probably good for business ;P

Sorry, it just bothers me that someone would come on here and tell him his item is not worth what he is asking. If he thinks that, he should just not buy it. Items are worth what the market will bear, and as has been proven historically, Rubi BP is worth a lot.

I don't even know the seller, I just get annoyed when people try to dissuade others from buying items. (sorry for the hijack, seller)
