You could do pricy vanity pets and fireworks as well. Then it would be like wow

Never gonna happen everyone who got DE masks back when server launched would cry.

If you start adding changes like that, what else will come after? So a big no for me.

>>> It's a change that adds flavor to the server without changing game play. If more of those came I wouldn't mind. The server ends at Velious. For player retention you need more objectives.

I don't see this as being an option. I understand that people at the higher tiers are hoarding money, but that isn't something that is an issue other than guilds socking spawns.

In addition, there are illusions that give benefits, such as illusion troll/iksar giving regen. It would also take some of the allure out of being a rogue/bard since these classes have unique items that have the clicky illusion effects.

>>> I would hope people choose bard/rogue because of the class not because they get Illusions. Plus there would be Illusions available those two classes and enchanter can not obtain normally

2 million sounds high, and would only appeal to 1% of the server. You could have basic races start at around 300k, and have other illusions (elementals, werewolf, ect) cost 1 million +

>>> The idea behind a high price is to make this option hard to obtain and a true money sink. If a guy is going to drop 2mil on an item, no refund, no trade, no account trading. It's meaningful. Also your 1% figure is off I'm sure. The amount of money players have with the server age is quite a bit.

Your poison-cure argument is a straw man fallacy. Good job at being an idiot and a hypocrite, while harboring some serious bank envy.

I voted no, for obvious reasons - mainly because you didn't think this through past "Illusions are fun" and "we need money sinks". Enchanters already have the ability to cast an illusion on demand - what are you going to do for the rich enchanters?

No.

Are you going to offer something that they can buy because you just can't stand the idea of someone being wealthier than you?

Your tone is quite demonstrative. Perhaps enchanter's would be the least thrilled class with this optional money sink. Maybe Illusions would be available they cannot cast. As to a person(s) being wealthier than I, no I couldn't care less. Since you assumed that question, you should have also assumed that since I made this poll, that I have the money for such a thing. As in platinum envy is more than likely not my motivation for such a suggestion.

I edited my statement after I figured out the inflammatory "EVERYONE'S AN IDIOT" guy wasn't the source of this thread.

You still get a no, but props on holding my hands to the fire for my demonstrative tone.

For a lot of high end players that have put in the time to acquire cash, a vendor that sells illusion items would remove plat from the game that already ISN'T BEING SPENT. There is very minimal inflation on non BiS gear created by players that are coming up, not by the people that would spend 2 million plat for an illusion mask. In fact some items have decreased in value like dwarf and high elf cultural. Every class has a way to farm straight platinum solo at 60, and according to these boards “playing what you want however you want!” will take you there.

For some people the EC economy is a part of the game, the inflation is just a natural reaction to the total amount of CIRCULATING cash within the game. You really think TMO couldn't take their guild bank and offer to buy every fungi for 50k-100k above market value and artificially increase the price overnight and then control the market? The economy here isn't actively being sabotaged similar to AH games like FFXI or WoW.

How much plat is sitting in a bank waiting to pay a legion of casuals to do all the farming that no one wants to do when Velious drops?
