Turn off trading, ban all RMT botters

Well, 3 Days ago the same items went between 5 and 10 Exalt.

And those are not high end items. they are level 40. That is leveling stuff.

Why are you defending RMT? Are you one of them?

Im not defending RMT, stop drinking paint.

Those are NOT "leveling" stuff just because the levels are in the 40s with >165 spirit, +level to minions, +allies deal more damage.

These are 2-5ex.

+4 is 1 div

Like what are doing

I dont even have minion mods on my +4 scepter at 92 doing double corrupt t15. Thats going to make them exponetially more expensive. I settled with attributes and 2 dead mods.

I see. So if those are endgame items. As you say.

What are these?

Super Duper Endgame items Deluxe?

No one is spending more than 10ex for a +3, more than 3-4 div for a plus 4. +5 is going to be ya 30+ div with even just spirit and something else.

Just because ppl list for that means fuckall.

+5 sceptre is even out of my budget, and im blasting through everything, its super late endgame chase items.

Also if you think these items are overpriced, take a +4 sceptre for example.

How many sceptre bases would it take you to find and alt+aug+regal to find a +4? How many of those would brick exalting them for 40% or higher spirit.

You would spend A LOT more than 3-4 div of exalts, not to mention the astronomical task of finding enough bases to attempt this at all.

6L price tripled. Nuff said.

Because people started getting to the point where that was the cheapest upgrade for them? Its an extremely rare drop, ive never seen one and im almost 93. Prices adjust, all the gear i bought for 50-150ex last week is barely worth half now because it was only good by league start standards and market is flooded with gear just as good or better.

1) they do need to to more to combat bad players in the market, bottlers, scammers, price fixers, RMT, etc. I do hope this is a high priority for them

2) disabling trade doesn’t help. I hope they’re sitting there gathering data on all the tactics used. Disabling trade just means they learn nothing new. What matters more is figuring out all the ways bad actors use trade in EA to come up with solutions for launch. (That being said, banning the folks that have 100k divines right now wouldn’t be unwarranted).

3) saying trade is “unusable” right now is just flat out wrong, I’ve been buying and selling stuff no issue. Yes it could be better, but I’d still rather it be on than off, see point #2.

3) inflation is a thing, you should expect to see MASSIVE (natural) inflation in the first few weeks of a games launch. Anyone with a basic understanding of, and experience in, MMO markets should understand this (i.e. not every item you see going up in price is some nefarious plot against you personally)

Items in this game have way too much rng and different stat combinations to have any control on it. Item that may seem to only be worth say 2 div might be worth 4 to someone because of an attribute or something someone else doesnt need or care about.

New players looking at gear even a no lifer like me cant afford while they are barely in maps and getting mad they cant afford it is amazing, lower the stats and set realistic expectations for where you are at in the game. Not to mention people listing trash for 20div thinking it will ever in a million years sell. Just edjucate yourself on the market, and ignore these.

the example items are definitely super endgame. i +3 minions and 130 spirit would be a great item and you probably can get it for 1 exalt. that said there is definitely people scanning the market and buying everything under a certain price point to resell it and that just sucks. but every game with a market has these people. so what can you do.
