Think about it: if you don't merch, if you don't burn plats, you just farm, how long would it take for you to afford an arcane ring? According to the price now I'd say you need more than 2 years farming 12 hours everyday unless you are super lucky and get a shard from a few (which means less than 500) elite boxes. Then there is a problem here.Originally Posted by Rare
Not true. It doesn't cost anything to make. It's free to make, except for the 5k it costs to buy the recipe. The main component, which is the arcane shard, is an item that is looted, not bought. The going price of the ring is based on supply and demand. Adding an extra component will not change the supply of the ring, nor will it change the demand for the ring. So the going price will remain the same. What will change is the price of the shard will adjust.
In the end, the ring will end up costing the same, but 25m gold will leave the game for every one that is crafted. That may not happen immediately, but give it some time and that will be the result.
I posted an idea a few months ago.
1. Make mythic gear upgradable with 20 Dragonite sticks (15 teeth each).
2. Later, introduce a new recipe that only requires 10 sticks.
3. Later, introduce a recipe that only requires 5 sticks.
...
This way, rich people will shell out lots of money to farmers, and later, poor players will be able to farm enough Sticks for themselves.
Next season, new type of stick will be introduced, and the cycle would repeat.
Also this would create a never-ending demand for mythic armor & jewelry (as a base for the upgrades), which would create a never-ending demand to open Lockeds, which is a good thing IMHO.
Disclaimer: my lameness is figurative but strong
u see, you post all the most iconic replies in the planet.
I think, It is just fair for the lb runners to give that price as they wish, because It was a real pain for them to get it.
I actually like the idea of a purchasable arcane pet (not egg) from an NPC for 50m
The gold sink vanity was originally my idea, im proud of it and glad sts implemented it, however my idea was making it 20m and im sorry but.. much cooler looking.
Regarding the arcane pet for 50m the only problem i see is people not understanding it is a gold sink fix idea and will complain to sts "only the rich ppl get the cool things" while actually if many 50m pets were sold it would drive down the prices for all items in game and help the people with less gold be able to buy things they actually need like mythic weapons/set/ring and even cheaper samael egg for example.
What about income taxes as in RL... ???
Those who have below 1m wont get those tax, those having 1-10m will have to pay X% (say 0.5%) that would be 50k (rather taken away from account) and so on till 100m whatever the percent X is suitabale according to economy... and then 100m+ some nice 5% (that would be 5m and above golds) every week.?? And those gold will be either gold sink or be used in some forum or any in-game contest(which is equally same for rich and poor so that have equal chance to win..)
How is it? What do you think? But there are cons of itself,i have only thought of one, but its very difficult to do it lol....
Income tax? in a game?? this a game, i hope youre kidding here, its supposed to be fun not the thing i hate most about real life implemented in a game.
lol.... But its somewhat same as the tax in AH.... And its like a great gold sink.... so nvm if its bad , ignore it XD
And btw if its just a game why all those gold sinks worry, why so OP pet worry, why hate if those eggs r not affordable(And many more other things) why why why XD

I respect you bro sry if i sounded mean lol
No i agreed that income tax sounds wierd but , (read the things i just editted lol)
And yes everyone hates taxes... :P
Except income tax officers. My uncle is one of them. :P
You cannot have an income tax in this game. I don't even know how you would implement it, as "income" tax is based on income, not total wealth.
But there is no need to have that. Just sell an item as a gold sink. The better the item, the more you can charge for it.
Lol no ty -rated.
There are two things in world that you cannot control :-
1) Miley Cyrus
2) Prices.
But what if u buy all dearies? Then u can control the price and bring it up to 10mill 0-o.
at least use some common sense before posting.
Definitely, we just need to limit the profit loss it will cause for it to be seriously considered by the devs.
My idea was gold-purchasable energy event kits that expire at the end of the event. An NPC would sell a batch of five for 30k gold, higher than the platinum to gold rate so platinum would still be the better option. This would finally achieve gold removed from the economy instead of just being traded between rich players and other rich players alts.
Lolz says u, and I know that deary prices aren't controllable. Only things like original jester can be controlled by buying them all.
Like this idea but I would say 50k since sts still needs to earn smthn and 25 plat or 30k would be a to easy choice (well atleast for me), with 50 per 5 I would doubt more.
