Where will it stop...?
Whenever people decide not to buy it. If you were to build a piece of supple based armor and put it on the market, what would you sell it at? 1 billion, like everyone else on the market, constantly making sure that your piece is not giving you less of a profit margin than anyone else? Or do you price aggressively, putting it up at 900m, making sure that whoever is in the market for that piece of supple armor is going to buy it from you?
I sold some of my CC pieces for 850m - thats not changing anything.
It will stop when bot drops get fixed
Or when they change the TS process. Observant should be the main bot for CSS. That would effectively reduce the price on both CSS & CC armor.
No it wouldn't. Obs isn't any more common than Supple.Quote:

Gotta agree with that. It would make CRU a constant price and dramatically reduce the price of AI Armour.Quote:

- We'd have roughly twice the amount of BOTH CC and CSS armors on the market.
= Prices would go down on both of those armors. Supply vs demand.
It wouldn't change anything since Obs is used in Scouts and swapping it will only make Scouts go up in price, all you are doing is shifting demand from one source to the other, it doesn't address the issue, which is drop %.Quote:

Yes, do it, i'm ready :)
As long as demand is higher than supply the prices will go up. Its that simple.
So the supply needs fixing from Funcom if prices have to go down.
Fine line, in regards to AIarmor demand will always be higher than supply.Quote:

Alternatively fix so everyone isn't rolling the same few classes (which can do everything in this game). :-P
But yeah - easier said than done.
Yeah, you know if they removed those things people told me that combined armor prices would drop like rocks! Do it!Quote:

By extension, more CRU = happier city raiding.
there's enough cru ingame. the CRU is not the problem. the problem is that it's about 400 manhours to produce 1 240 supple bot. with today's server population that's a pretty unreasonable amount of farming.Quote:

It's not attractive to new people, and there aren't enough vets for long term sustainability (escpecially when considering FC's current condition).Quote:
