Economy opinions

[MysticMythics]

So I got a couple of legendary level 26 items and when I was going to sell in AH they are all priced at below 300g each.. Being they are LOADED with stats and possibly the best armor for each class it seems all the people buying thousands of platinums and opening hundreds and thousands of locked crates are getting multiple items and diminishing prices.. This is absurd because the only thing you can profit on now is literally Mythic Items, Hammerjaw, and LIKE A HANDFUL OF LEGENDARY items dropped by elite bosses.

This has gotten out of hand, Locked Crates are priced at 3k each, We need new content, what is the point of playing the game right now? To farm for a HANDFUL of legendary items with a drop rate of 000000000000.1% or spend thousands of platinums trying to get a mythic helmet or arcane pet or hook to sell.

There is literally nothing to do, I rather not play until new items are implemented and hooks, hammerjaw and mythic helms aren't the only source of income , since the other handful of legendary items have a percentage of dropping equal to hitting the powerball.

Those are NOT the only source of income... merching, elites come to mind...

I've mentioned the handful of legendary dropped by elites, By the time you get one of these drops new content will be released.

Flints of Brutality?
Malison egg?
Squid Staff?

Do I need to go on with the only elite drops which make any profitable income other than mythic helmet arcane pets and hooks?

Also the drop rate of those items, pfft.

Elite is not a way to make income, not with drop rates so low.

I agree with mysticmythics. He is merching n doing elites but u cant sell nothing for any sort of gold now. I was reading a thread the other week where people were saying how much money they had spent on platinum just to try and find hammerjaw. Its getting ridiculous.

for some reason, STS lowered the drop rates of pink in chests and increased the drop rate of purples.

Its called a gold sink. Seems to be working

[MysticMythics]

Not to mention the Leprechoblin pinks, The first day it came out everyone spammed Brackenbridge and broke the crates and left the instance, rinse and repeat by the end of the day the NEW RELEASED PINK ARMORS HAD NO VALUE!!!

I had farmed a pink and put it in AH for 100k since it was new content, 8 hours later I check the auction house and they are worth 5k or less.

I don't know, if the devs were to release content please release instead of 1 NEW WEAPON FOR A CLASS MAYBE 4-5 NEW MYTHIC ARMORS, 4-5 NEW ARCANE WEAPONS FOR EACH CLASS, 4-5 NEW ARCANE PET DROPS WITH NEW BOSSES. At least then the LONG HUNT FOR A MYTHIC ARCANE OR ARCANE PET will be worth it, The drop rates will be so low even if people get lucky and do get a arcane weapon , pet ,or mythic armor piece, there will still be 4 other weapons, pets , or armor.

In the patch, they said that they increased the drop rate of pinks lol.

[sonvolt]

Ninjad by 3 minutes..

Its every sink besides the one u wash your hands with :/

[Destructible]

Having needing to share my Gold on all my accounts, I'm not really complaining much. There's always other alternatives to merch and farm, anyhow. If the item doesn't worth as much as you want it to, then just move on to another item.

[Cero]

idk which items you looted but if you are merching the most gears the sell high are warrior's gears. since from 16cap.

quick tip next cap race to 31 and farm as early as possible.

before, 21elite level i capped and farm early and looted vorpal assault. instant 2.3m. early bird gets the early worm



add: thosw lupricorn gears are from an event. event items arent rare and.will flood easiky in auction from what i noticed.

[Energizeric]

This is what happens when everyone complains about not getting enough pinks. They raise the rate of drops. It's what everyone kept asking for. I hope all the complainers are happy now.

That sounds like a mistake on your part. Trying to play the market on new gear is risky. And this one didn't work out for you.

Your comment is a little misleading.

Locked crates and a minimal chance at a super rare item are here to stay as long as people are willing to fork over their dough to open them. STS is doing real well off of this strategy. Screw the AL economy, it's all about the STS economy baby! devs gotta eat
