lower orb gold cost

for low tier orbs the gold cost is ridiculous. why is chaos 25 gold and fusing 40 gold? the gold cost should be determined by how much players value them, so fusing chrome jeweller etc should be way lower than 25.

people in my previous thread said the gold is there to prevent rich players from manipulating the market, well rich players aren't going to manipulate fusing alts jewellers etc, they'll manipulate high value orbs like ex, d, eldritch ex, mirrors, etc.

the WORST currency by far is blessed orb. $75!!?!??! i just checked and there's a big seller at 179:1 chaos, yes this is too high but i see lots of 20-30 : 1 chaos sellers constantly. players value this lower than alts!! i actually need a lot of these but i cant even buy them because of the insane gold cost. this thing should be $5 at most.

i recommend this:

transmutation $1
augmentation $2
alts, chrome, jewellers, fusing $5
blessed orb $5

gold cost is to combat bots, 0 reason to have issues buying and selling if you do some maps

I agree that the cost sometimes weird. For example i sometimes buy 1k Blacksmith whetstone, to use it on uniqs, to produce more dust. It costs me only 30c, but also 30k gold.

For example buying 100 T1 essenses costs only 7.5k gold. 20 divs - only 5k gold. Even buy a mirror for 1.5k divines costs less.

So paying 30k gold for 30 chaos operation is not pleasant. It's not a big problem only because
* People swimming in gold due to party farm gold multy
* You do such operations not so often

im a noob player and dont know how to farm 100k/map like u do. i typically get 2-3k on yellow maps, slightly above 3k in low level red maps (lvl 11 and 12). gold is worth money because u can get crops with it and ship it for divines.

i dont think RMT cartels would program their bots to manipulate low tier orbs. by low tier i mean transmutation, augmentation, alts, chrom, fuse, blessed orb, vaal orb, alch, binding, and the weapon/armor quality orbs. these orbs cannot be used to craft good items, they are very cheap, why would RMT cartels manipulate them? vaal orb, alch, binding, arent used much, i dont mind their $. but blessed and fusing are WTF??? they are heavily used, at least by me.

its amazing even scrolls cost $1. explain to me why anyone would manipulate scrolls?
