The Flame Geode Thread...... Again.

[Sp1cyryan]

Round and round the flame geode prices go where they will stop nobody knows.

120k a geode today on Asura. That is only 6.6m per weapon. Not bad right?

I wonder if SE really intended for a weapon designed for the common folk (no insult intended), to cost this much. That's on top of the time it takes to do the preceding trials which generally take longer than other weapons due to the dearth of fire weather.

If this is all truly "working as intended" then the devs are either just as sadistic as I had imagined or even more inept and clueless than I had imagined. Maybe both.

Not only are these weapon trials unbalanced compared to other elemental magian trials, but they're unbalanced compared to trials for higher-end weapons. Did SE really intend for there to be more people making Relics and Empyreans than fire elemental weapons? I have a very strong feeling that's what's been happening. If you want there to be fewer Relics and Empys out in the wild, then why on Vana'diel did you make the most effective alternatives so expensive and annoying to obtain?
