game economy

[OngorDrakan]

I think it's kind of sad somebody farms that as much as they do. Get a life, you don't have it.

I have a life and I still have more than you probably ever will in the game?

Explanation? I'm better than you.

"not having a life" has nothing to do with people being better than you.

If everyone refused to buy an FBSS at current prices, the price would drop.

Start a revolution. Refuse to buy it.

But I am willing to bet none of you would ever sell one at what you consider a fair buying price if it that price were well below current market. At least to a stranger that is.

I just guilt people into giving me lower prices [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Prices have already dropped considerably in the past couple of weeks. I paid 18k for my FBSS after sitting for a few days trying to find one. I just bought another one for 14k yesterday and threw it on my lvl 1 enchanter to melee things faster until my spells get better (and to lower my average cost for FBSS's =/ ... with my luck however they'll be going for 8k by the weekend).

The rogue is a hard class

It's fine to say that rogues are fun 'cause they're big damage, maybe that corpse dragging is somewhat challenging, but to say they're a hard class because you have to make an evade hotkey, hit it, and avoid hitting pickpocket, is LOL.

Rogues are easy as shit unless you're dragging corpses.

As for FBSS, it's simply supply and demand. They've been going up 'cause well, for one thing, anecdotally, they're dropping less - and for another - more people have money and twinks these days, and every melee twink needs one.

It went down because everyone in the top guilds was upgrading to sky belts and selling theirs.

It'll go back up soon, and then back up more in kunark - and even out around 20k once people start frequently getting the kunark haste items. Mark it.

We should continue this discussion once everybody has read those articles.

20k? Lol no.

The market works well for me by taking the following steps:

Douchebag auctions: WTS FBSS 17k

so you make an alt character and then

you auction: WTS FBSS 15k
(dont respond to any offers)

then as the other fbss goes down in price, log onto your main and buy that shit.

then you may laugh how u pwnz0rd the sux0r noob
