Market Corrections.

[Mikiel]

Im sorry, But your not going to get me out of this presuit.
I know a lot of you want me to stop because it will screw your gold income from scams.
but i will for atleast a week be spamming to educate the noobs. if nothing else you will see your scam income diminish greatly.

This is a game Talar.
It has a free market economy.
The market corrects itself and prices are set by ALL the players, not by you.
Your latest round of chat spams accusing higher level players of greed are only making you a laughingstock.
Chill out, relax and PLAY the game.
You can't dictate to everyone what prices should be.
I honestly think you need some kind of medications or something.
Watching you swing from guild recruitment spams to tirades spams on prices and to pasting passages out of the Koran in chat has me convinced that your mental health is the issue here.
IT'S A GAME! It should be fun. You are turning it into a nightmare. Please stop.

Talar,
Instead of spamming the help chat and global with the huge paragraph of tirade against the evil, greedy higher levels robbing the poor noobs blind, in addition to your guild recruitment spams, just post the link to this thread and bring the conversation here?

This is the last I am going to say on the matter. I regulary charge 30 coin for marble and hw planks, and the hits I get are from seasoned players, not newBs. I get the impression that you are looking to buy hw planks and marble and don't want to pay 30 coin for it and no one will fill your asking trade for peanuts. If you are so against it, prove to me that marble and hw planks are not worth 30 coin.

Yep, I feel alot of people are like this.. They charge high amouts, then pay little for the same resource.

I consider myself an expert on mmorpg economies and all I can say is 'more power to ya.'

I'm not going to try to stop you but I will just give you a heads up that you're most likely wasting your time/effort. The main problem is that the low level players need the materials they are buying and economies like this are always based on supply and demand. If you are willing to always keep the supply up for low level players then the prices will be driven down (like you say). But you're going to need to put a ton of effort into it. You'll need to keep about 15 different resources on the trade tab at any given time. The moment your trade expires and you don't renew it someone else is going to put marble up for 35g a stack again.

People (at least the smart ones) look at the trade tab before putting their offer up. If the supply is low at the moment the price goes up.

Anyway, I'm not bashing you, I just thought I should warn you what you're up against.

Agreed

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

Completely True, A great quote to go with this game.

I love you. This is why we're buddies!
Talar honestly, if they were smarter they'd get advice before doing anything. I personally was never tricked by anything because it was obvious that many of the trade were random, half them were low, other half extremely high, so I asked first... If you have a real problem with that, maybe your guild should actually supply each other instead of surviving off trades...
And honestly SirRoy... He's been a laughingstock for a while :P

If you really want to help noobs, list at 35, and anytime someone takes the trade, mail them, explain, and refund.

What I cant give him credit for something he did? I think it was nice I mentioned his name in it.... but frankly it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. So can we stick to dicussing that and not my signature.

The founding principles of [CORP] and most high level players I know is fair trade.
We have an in house price list that I have decided to take public.
This list is based on trade experience since July, trade calculators, and gut instinct.
It is a guideline we use, not set in stone and reflects what we truly believe to be fair rates.
I do not have more exotics simply because I have little experience trading them.

I'm just saying your busting his chops kinda hard for someone who's done something for you. I don't think there is any nefariousness in what talar was saying in his original post although I cannot say about global chat since I don't hang out in there much.
