So as no one seems to want to sell stuff anymore (cause of the bann wave and when u own to much they just take it away cause it can be RMT money ppl bought stuff through marketboard from u... see those others threads) prices of items HQ,1Star. 2Star. NQ and pre RELICS go UP!
high demand but when no ones sells stuff.. u know prices go up naturally.
WELL DONE. /sarcasm off.
Well done SE, marketboard prices go up!

Cry us a river so we can swim in it after we are bored of swimming in our river of gil.

10-06-2013, 11:06 PMSeirisWhat a good post. Perfectly indicative of the shitty community driving a lot of players away from the game right now. Why are you such a shitposter?Quote:

This is to be expected. Prices don't drop immediately after a huge purge of gil.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. Teleporting and botting characters were and are making it so that the time investment for crafting was horrible.
Banning RMT doesn't solve that root issue though. Plenty of legitimate players do it too. If they take the same laissez faire attitude towards craft/fish/gather botting as they did in XI it means gathering and crafting will never, ever be worth doing for someone who actually, you know, plays the game.
Quite unfortunate given that the crafting system is the only unique thing they've done in this MMO. -

Pretty much as KiriA500 said. The demand for base materials that are usually botted is still the same. But there were a lot of bots that DID get banned in the purge. So following the laws of supply and demand, when demand is higher than supply, the price of goods WILL go up. Maybe the OP doesn't understand how the RMT people were making their money to begin with?

They ban a bunch of RMTs and probably a bunch of buyers, that's nice.
They didn't solve the botting and teleport issues.
Chat log still unreadable because of RMT spam and lots of RMT still running around ruining the game.
Game's economy will still go in a gutter.
They managed to ban a bunch of legitimate players or confiscated a massive amount of their gil even though they earned it legitimately while they did it.
So basically they are so hard-line against RMT that they're willing to punish innocent players for it, but they also didn't even manage to fix the issue. I've seen ineffective rule enforcement and I've seen overzealous rule enforcement, but it's kinda impressive to be both overzealous and ineffective. -

Perfect example, that you can not make every one happy, SE does nothing about gil buying/selling and they get yelled at, they do something, and get yelled at. Here is some news for you, people who are not selling items are only falling for the false info that you will be banned just for having a lot of gil.

Prices on my server dropped because no one has gil after the bans.
The reason for price dropping on my server is because there is so many people who actually craft more than doing the dungeon stuff, therefore, the supply is high and demand is low. People keep undercutting each other which led to the the drop in prices.
What you are complaining about just shows how much gil farmers were really running your economy.
Prices only go up and should go up when demand is high. It looks like the gil farmers on your server were providing all the crafted materials because you have lazy players on your server not willing to contribute to the community.
Edit:
This is true. I've made over that 8 mil gil limit that people are complaining about selling stuff and I didn't get banned. It's probably because I wasn't hoarding gil too. I was spending it all the time.Quote:

If there's high demand but no one is selling anything...wouldn't prices go down?
And really, how would one measure demand w/o actually selling things? I'm not an economist, but logically your point doesn't make sense behind people are afraid to sell things like they used to. -
10-07-2013, 12:25 AMKiriA500No, quite the opposite. If there's a huge demand for Item A, and there are none available, that makes the price of them go up. Sure, you could find the one person who puts them for the same price, but that's rare. 99% of the time, the person will inflate the price, because the demand is there, but there's no supply. If Item A suddenly becomes more abundant, the price will start to decline, because there are more options, and people will begin to undercut each other in order for their item to be sold first.Quote:

Prices will slowly go back down soon, once people realize that there won't be much of a demand for items at a high price. -

Pricing going up huh? I wish i lived in this alternative universe. I can't make a dime with all the people undercutting eachother at this point, crafting is pretty much pointles unless you're making 2*star* Greens and buying the materials yourself...
