Price fixing and teaming shenanigans. If you want a functioning economy, play HC.

" youre underestimating how cheap mirrors are early and how much can be made from being the only person selling shaper/uber atziri/uber elder/chayula/ilvl84 gear on the market. If you have underlings doing all your trading for you, buying you the sets, selling the items for a small cut, and you can do 8 boss runs an hour, each boss run producing between half an exalt to maybe 2 exalts profit depending on luck in an economy where mirrors are about 35 exalts each, and youre doing this for 20 hours per day, the maths starts to add up. Say after your underlings get their cut and youve paid for your sets you make 2-3ex per hour, after 15 hours you can buy a mirror. This starts to slip away from you as time goes on and the market gets saturated, the exalt and mirror price rises, you lose control. Maybe the first 5 days ur doing it you can make a mirror per day and then it starts to become 2 mirrors every 3 days and so on. Day 1 you get to higher maps and get geared, day 6 you have 5 mirrors, day 9 you have 7 mirrors, day 12 you have 9 mirrors, day 14 you have your 10 mirrors in 2 weeks and you jump ship then spend 2 days in bed recovering. If you look at exalts being worth 130 chaos and a mirror being 85 exalts like they were yesterday then it seems impossible, but thats not the prices day 2, day 3, day 4 etc. At a time when exalts are 35c and a mirror is 35ex, and youre chain farming bosses that drop exclusive loot thats maybe worth 8c, 20c, 1ex, 2ex per drop every single run its a different game. Poe used to be a game where you randomly find a bringer and oh, thats 4ex, oh I randomly dropped a mjolner, thats 30ex... no, thats dead now, nothings worth fuck all and if youre just mr nobody farming maps you either drop a mirror or get fucked. The money has all moved into flipping and these early bird content racing ventures for restricted exclusive drops. This is a result of landfill drop rates. ppl want their loot explosions and their glowing gold fatman giving them some bis unique for fk all and its flushed the games economy down the toilet to the point where the loot explodes and none of it even gets through your filter because its all worthless garbage. Sit around with 6 shop tabs full of junk trying to scrape 1 chaos here, 1 fusing there out of stress inducing face to face trades endlessly getting nowhere with no hope of this next map run dropping anything worth your time, thats what poe has become for 99% of players and of course even getting 1 mirror seems impossible from there, because realistically it IS impossible, the shavs might drop in the next map, but its not worth 75ex like it was 3 years ago, its worth 20c. Its becoming an ssf game because thats the only way normal ppl can actually be excited about finding loot, and in turn thats further breaking down the social economy aspect of the game that keeps people playing for months rather than days, hence leagues will die super quick, its a complete meltdown of the fabric that was holding this game together. When the items stop having meaning, the game stops having meaning and your time spent in it stops having meaning. and weve devolved into off topic ramblings on the decay of the spell that is an arpgs attraction to its playerbase... this is probably a prophecy of doom for another thread tbh lol. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

" Why will anybody want to pay for a Kitava kill in the first week?? Anybody playing that fast knows the game - and it's softcore. Before I have "bought" a kill I have already died 3 times, killed it and already leveled back the experience bar. And everyone knowing the game good enough has the current level skill that steamrolls Kitava - an Ooops death every now and then included by playing reckless. Mirrors are all by playing the trade game - for crafting you need huge ressources, too - so there it's the trade - crafting game. I personally don't like this style - I play the game. I normally find 1 item "worth" around 10-30 ex every season but don't trade it. |

Can someone far less lazy then me do a forum search and link to the exact same type of post made at JUST about this same time interval into every.....single......league?
So what is the purpose of the OP? Are you intimating that there are scammers, bots, flippers, RMT-ers? GASP! Say it isn't so! Welcome to the internet, please grow a thick skin and enjoy your stay. As a complete, somewhat related, tangent - we were discussing automated cars at work the other day. And I said the biggest barrier to complete automation is security and the potential for hacking, because for every person wanting to do something for the world, there are 9 looking to exploit it, hack it, destroy it or steal it. Every online game is the same way. So, again, OP, what's your point? |
