    However it doesn't change the fact that the format of these sales are always in limited quantities (99% of the time its 10 per 4hrs for 2days). Been happening for the last 2yrs or so. That should interpret that they actually care about the rarity (for vanities bought for plat atleast).

    To a certain extent sure, but they also sell vanities for platinum without any limit and they do well too. I’m not upset about that, but it’s fun to expose cheaters.

    Also don’t quite want to get into them “caring” for vanity when they’ve pick and chosen what vanity to put in stores for different prices and which sets to put in the map drops or vendors based on mainly the poll threads. The most popular ones were put into store or obtainable via boss drops using forgotten elixirs.

    U referring to the 25-100 plat vanities that are always in store the last 5-8yrs ago? Probably because those are obviously not limited vanities.

    If you're reffering to Vanadium sets then thats part of the 1% that they do decide to release vanities in unlimited quanitities for a certain timeframe.

    As for cheaters, they're inevitable but asking to make them unlimited/bound form is just ridiculous. The end does not justify the means for this one, as it'd ruin such a desirable and exclusive vanity to becoming every 2nd person owning one. Non-utilitarian.

    Yes the Vanadium sets are a good example.

    I don’t see it as ridiculous considering the situation, “exclusive and desirable” is subjective and any rarity these sets had has been ruined already.

    Well I think I've answered alrdy why despite they would've been earning more if it were unlimited, they 99% not do this.

    When I say exclusive and desirable, I'm using it as an objective statement - because It's definitely evident that the general consensus finds these limited og sets extraordinary. The fact that the majority of these sets were sold for 9 figures (myself being part of purchasing them for gold) furthermore proves it's exclusivity/desirability.

    The fact that they're such a hot topic makes them even more desirable. If anything, this thread and others just gives it more publicity to rise in value.

    The point is the Vanadium set sale had 0 controversies, 0 issues, which is another reason why they should start doing more in a similar manner.

    As for these sets, talking about them won’t do much unless the devs decide to make any changes, not to mention the cost for these sets currently are just below 90m-100m at most, i won’t make any predictions but looking back at every store sale in the passed few months you can notice a drop in prices for almost every store-purchased vanity. (Not including vanity from years ago)

    They can't please everyone in a limited sale, thats given. Because the ones to talk are the ones who didn't get.

    They really care about their rareness, because the fact that 99% of the time they're following the same format of 120 in quantity for a limited sale.

    On a side note, another probable cause they are offered in limited quanities 99% of the time is for players to not deplete their platinum right away, to increase the distribution of plat expenditures for future events.

    It's not like players have unlimited money that they can just buy platinum as they ran out.

    A secondary consequence would be players ultimately stop buying other platinum driven consumables (Elite gems, keys, future store sales) because there was a better plat to gold conversion option. These would result for these consumbales to skyrocket.

    I don’t see why Sts would care if a player decides when to spend platinum, more so that the player actually wants to spend as much as possible. Just like those npc sets that barely sold in the store the same time Crier set was in store, they were the same price yet now they’re much more rare than crier vanity. Also don’t forget the 48 hour time limit during these sales, that’s enough to maintain any “rarity” these store purchased sets will have.

    The issue i’m referring to is there’s a large amount of people who would have bought a set and were not able to due to the 10 set limit that’s instantly bought out. Raises the question, why would someone bother to buy platinum on a sale that’s been ridden by bots?
