You love EC and reselling though? Get off the fence.

Swishypoo, I never mentioned anything about EC and reselling being bad. What are you talking about, mate? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

why would the most OP item in game ie Fungi rise over time? Its classic. I also believe in increased demand. Long story why its so but you'll see. Supply will remain same, if not lower with the chardok rewamp. Supply might fall sharply after new server is out but thats very long term. The upside to Fungi long term is huge and it will pass CoF eventually i am betting.

I agree with Lhance. This doesn't make any sense. It's not going to pass CoF in price either. Fungi tunics never stop dropping, and are easily and consistently farmed on a daily basis. Your theory is simply bad. Although, I don't think it's a theory at all. It's quite obvious you attempt to manipulate the market. And if it is genuinely the way you feel, I will chalk it up to drugs.

You disagree, just like the lot would disagree when i argued Fungi was gonna hit 40k when it was selling 60k

In the end, im there to confirm : 'what did i say?'

Let me rephrase my future scenario:
No its not easy to farm Fungi because all gear is with AAs
What is the nr 1 item you want to have on ALL your melee characters when the server has crashed and its almost impossible to do a transfer?

Just as I suspected

WTB Manastone 325k

I’d wager hell will freeze over before Fungi costs more than CoF. One drops from groupable content — potentially multiple times in a few hours of farming. The other drops much less commonly from content that is both harder and more scarce. New 30%+ haste items hitting the market may bring price down, but I see CoF always hovering 65-75k and staying well above the price point for Fungi.

In a vacuum, Fungi is undeniably more powerful than CoF, but there’s a ton of them out there and they are frankly farmable in ways that CoF is not.

I find vacuum economies like this one fascinating but they always reduce to the same thing: something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Don't ever buy something if you feel it's overpriced. The sellers and buyers that negotiate make happier deals that lead to more repeat business and a greater interest to sell.

I get the idea of the guild, but to say you cant buy from people outside of the guild because its considered twinking... It's not considered twinking if you earned the money yourself. I keep seeing this guild pushed on all of these new toons to the server before those people realize what else is out there. That's going to make new players think it is harder than it actually is to get loot, and will make people leave.

ALS is just a single guild, and here in the forum at least I've never seen them "pushed on" anyone who hadn't already expressed a desire for a more classic economy. I highly doubt even a single person has left the server because they were somehow forced in to thinking that ALS was the only way to play on P99.

Also, if you're trying to play in a classic economy, by definition that means excluding all the sellers from the "broken" economy. The price of every item (not just fungis and CoFs) is impacted by the thousands of copies that have sold before in this server's very un-classic 8+ years of operation, and if ALS players took advantage of those (lower than classic) prices they wouldn't get to experience the classic economy they are trying to experience.

They need a new name, people look at me funny at my office when I talk about how great ALS is.

Fun idea maybe, but the internal economy will be lacking a lot of decent items, for a long time. Since there are toons that are in that guild and are not twinking as their rules dictate, it will make it so that no one is going to be selling any high-end items (Fungi, CoF) because they need them for themselves. They will not be spending time sitting at these overcamped spawns waiting for multiple copies of a rare item, to try and sell them internally to people who won't have the money to pay for them, since they cant sell outside of their guild.

I got Crystal Chitin Handwraps after a few days of farming on my level 30 toon. It took me maybe 10 minutes in EC to get my pair. Getting that same pair to a person new to the server, that can only buy loot from his guildies is going to take a LOT longer.

Go to the ALS website and read their rules, you've missed like 90% of the rules, and it's causing you to draw some bizarre conclusions. ALS rules are far more strict than you're implying here.
