I don't like the extra-long Plat Sale

[Arrowz]

Due to this long plat sale, 8 days now, u have created deflation on energy, luck elixirs, ankhs, etc. and i heard that this plat sale will be continuing through next friday? 8 more days of this sale and I think this economy will be trashed. So many of these items will have flooded the market already, 8 more days and it will continue to get worse. Its gonna take a looong time to recover from this deflation. Typically plat sales are over a weekend like thursday-monday, but now u guys make a plat sale what might be over 2 weeks, aswell as releasing 3 new kinds of lvl 41 mythics in a matter of 6 months, and just a few weeks ago u had that cheaper locked crate with double odds events for like a week. So not only have u caused deflation of ankhs, elixirs, etc, but also you have caused deflation to mythic weapons, and some arcane eggs.

[Trikzy]

I agree but those things you mentioned are not the only ones being affected. The winter event vanities, egg, recipies etc are becoming worse than trash now and that is all due to fact that the event is 4 week long. Also, once rare breezaga is now nothing more than a a common thing you can find almost everywhere and breezaga used to be so valuable and good pet.

The plat sale actually helps the price of locks, so without the plat sale the prices would be even lower.

Plat sales cause prices of most items to INCREASE. Only items that can be purchased for plat (like vanities, energy kits, elixir kits, ankhs) drop in price because there are more for sale. But in general plat sales cause more gold to enter the economy (mostly due to gold coming from opening locked crates) and that causes inflation. And since plat is cheaper to purchase, there is more demand to open locked crates, so the price of locked crates increases.

The reason why you cannot make money from crafting locked is because everyone is doing it. That has little to do with plat as it does not take any plat to craft 3 locked crates into an event locked.

It's not about facts, it's about economics. Locked crates take plat to open. Cheap plat means there will be more demand to open locks.

If the price did not rise as a result of the plat sale, then probably the supply increased -- a likely occurrence since lots of players are farming locked during the event. Without the plat sale you would have seen the prices drop.

The plat sale is just one of the factors that determines the price. It causes demand to increase. The other factor is the supply. If the supply also increases, the price may stay the same. But that does not mean the plat sale had no effect on the price of locks. And the plat sale certainly did NOT cause the price of locks to decrease LOL

Yes the locks have risen to 10k from where they were a month ago but many other things have had their price deflated as a result of the plat sale aswell. Also you ignored everything that was said about the mythics price dropping and u jumped straight to locked crates. Just because one thing rises in price doesnt make it worth all the other bad things that have happened to this economy

err i nevr said that plat sale caused the price to drop just saying lock prices have been same throughout the event cauz ppl know players are interested in buying 3 lockeds for ursume crate so the price has been around 10k thorughout the event and
all i am saying is there is hardly any money making left in crafting ursume crates ty

Ankhs won't stay that low, demand for them is high and yes so is supply, but when people get their grinding gear on and start running planar tombs again they will rise. As for elixirs oh well that's a plus for me LOL.

The reason why you cannot make money from crafting locked is because everyone is doing it. That has little to do with plat as it does not take any plat to craft 3 locked crates into an event locked.

The reason you cannot make money from crafting ursume locks is because there is nothing really desirable and sought after in those locks. Everyone crafted elo and necro locks too, yet they maintained a higher price. Ursume price has been low since virtually day 2-3 of the event when the first new weapons came out and were tested.

And those new weapons just don't proc. Comparing the frost bow with the elo bow - I see roughly 3-4 bushes to 1 whirlwind. Not many people want what is virtually an expedition bow with better stats.

[NotYoCookiez]

well the reason for this plat sale being so long is so people can buy plat with their christmas money

Actually no, elo locks maintained a higher price because they were new and people weren't prepared for them, The ingredient was a lot rarer, the recipe wasn't trade able either. Now everyone knows the drill so they hoard locks for events, ice scales are absurdly common and the recipe is tradeable.

[Wutzgood]

This is normal after 3 weeks of an event. Anyone here for the tarlok event last year knows that by this time in event only breezaga and the best tarlok sets were keeping their high price. That's cause they were only dropping at such a low rate from event crates and bosses. Everything else in the event was selling for nothing by the end.

If you know 3 locked are selling for the same price as ursome ones just sell the regular ones like I have. 3k wasn't worth the crafting time imo. No reason to blame sts for the players decision to craft them.

As far as breezaga he was never a good pet only for show. He only was worth alot cause of his rarity last year in crates not for being a good pet.

They have actually improved rewards from tarlok. Last year you could have ran the whole event and not gotten anything good from the event chests. Now if you put in work you get tokens to buy what you want so its more based on work instead of luck like last year.

The plat sale will only effect prices of things bought with plat and those prices will rise again after the sale ends.

As far as too many mythic weapons it won't matter in a few months when a new level cap comes. They will join the rest of the outdated equip soon enough.

Then you start the plat sale yesterday instead of 8 days ago
And this is my 2nd thread in a row where title got changed zzz

Ok, this may be somewhat true with elo locks. 100% wrong in the case of necro ones though. As for hoarding locks - much more locks were farmed/hoarded for Halloween than for Winter, due to a lot of reasons - less time go prepare for Winter, double odds weekend right before Winter, 33% sale on locks etc. Yet, necro locks have maintained a higher price almost the entire time since Halloween started. Ursume locks were under 40k like 3-4 days into event.

New frost weapons suck that's why

[Sir Lubo Penev]

Well, that's exactly what I said lol.

[toxorto]

Yes I guess Plat sale should come to an end.

[Ssneakykills]

It's a shame they can't even 'fix and satisfy' the game that's making them the most money.. Makes you think where all this money is going if they are struggling to please this player base

Ok, I agree this plat sale lasts too long and yes it is bad for some people but MOST people do not realise that there are also advantages for them to this deflation. think of it this way: EVERYONE is affected by deflation, there are as many disadvantages as there are advantages
1) Stuff is cheap so you can buy stuff cheap ( positive)
2) If you have alot of mythics arcanes you want to sell in your possesion well the value of those items is going down ( negative)
3)If you had 5 million gold, that 5 million gold can buy you alot more items during deflation right now then before( positive)
And yeah that all i can think of right now im sure there are other examples...Anyways THE LESSON IS!!!!! MAKE THE BEST OUT OF A BAD SITUATION.

Have fun
