Bring back the Seafurys

Everyday there are more Tstaffs on the server, yet the price has nearly doubled over the last year. White dragon scales, 6 months ago I know of someone that sold one for 600k, then a few month after that I saw one listed for 250k, just the other week another friend sold one for 400k.

When you look at these three things separately, it's hard to see it as a pure supply and demand system, when the supply for some items simply doesn't reflect in the prices some people are paying.

Supply and demand factors in, sure. But more than that is the factor of what people think it's worth, regardless of the demand or its supply.

The price started going up with talks of triple attack patch. This would still be within the supply and demand theory.

One negative aspect of the seafury nerf is it makes information on the forums and wiki about how great their drops are invalid. So for newer players digging around trying to find a super great farm. They may get mislead.

I would be a horrible GM. My solution would be to DT both parties and summon them to vp hoshkar pad until they worked out a solution between themselves.

Well, I think we all got close to that many, many times. People get really upset about pixels.

This guy is clearly an idiot.

I have no idea why they got nerfed, but I'm glad they did. The amount of petitions for that stupid island was insane. I'd be fine with them being brought back, if PVP was enabled. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is an awesome idea!

OOT should be rendered a PVP enabled zone, and Seafuries need to drop worthy loot again! It would be so fun PKing chumps sitting half afk while on their "list" at the AC camp for Jboots.

Rofl that would be fun times.

It is bad information to say SFs are awesome for plats now, I assume anyway. I wonder if anyone still farms them for plat and how bad the gem drop is now? Or, if it's all rumor and they still drop a great amount of gems for plats?

When I checked shortly after the nerf classic correction the gems were dropping in something like 1/4th - 1/5th of the amounts they used to.

Also I think the PvP idea is fun, but clearly it's not classic and so will never happen. But what could (hypothetically) happen is a new custom zone with an arena in it (it'd be un-classic to have PvP enabled anywhere else). That arena would be filled with mobs that drop good, but not too good, loot (so that it's not too popular). It might also have other inconveniences (eg. ice, pits, etc.) to discourage the whole server from showing up. To save GM sanity they might need the mobs there to do an FTE shout or something, but I could see it working ... at least in theory.

I've taken my Ranger out there several times since the change, probably out of a mix of boredom/denial. Although at level 57 my experience bar moves a bit so that's cool.

As far as the change in drop rates, while I wouldn't even begin to guess or care to do the math to figure out a percentage, I'll go ahead and say it's a massive nerf. Not even close to what it used to be. Before, the drops were so common I honestly felt robbed every time a gem didn't drop lol. They weren't playing around.

Yup, how does supply and demand work in your mind?
