Crashing and a polite request

You'd be better off fixing the commodity system.

Jeweler's Elixir had been at 12. So that 53 is better than before!

man, i am getting some massive dejavu....course that was when people were selling without a crat and getting lynched for doing it.

I think the thing is that potions are something that everyone that wants to train it can do, and most do just for the easy way to make money. And its not just potions that are affected, regular commods are so low right now that foraging isn't really even an option if you are "in it for the money" which face it we all are.

I watched vyfetium yesterday from like 8am till oh hell i forget sometime in the evening and it gained approximately 4 dollars throughout the day.
And in my opinion, potions seem to move slower than that even.

Am I happy with the changes, no. I'd rather the potions at least recover a bit faster than they are now, just because it is such a widely used way of making money and unless we want people dying for wanting to make a bit of cash, i don't see a real "fair" way to do it with the way the commods are right now. Just selling a few potions drops it enough to make a difference.

I myself, have been hunting and fishing because to me potions just aren't "worth" the effort (yes im in it for the profit) it takes to make them only to not beable to sell the potion for more than what the three seperate commodities would sell for refined. I really don't care to hunt all that much, less its when im down in scourge mining for vyeftium and fishing well..its boring to me *chuckle* so im stuck doing things i really don't care doing just so that i can make money.

All I can say is I'm glad that this happened AFTER i had the money for my house, or I doubt any one of us would be living in the big ones *chuckle*
Took me and glim combined over three months of almost constant (between the two of us, probably almost 20-24 hours a day) potioning to get the 19 mil we had for the home and fest... i can just imagine how long it would take to get that same amount now.

Anyway, Im rambling so point of my post:

People are going to sell regardless of the price, and how slow the ticker is.
Its just the way they are. I don't feel violence is the answer, but I don't feel like i should be having to NOT do something i love (potions) just because now it seems they will never sell for any good amount.

I also feel that people are like, maybe worried now? Example:

I go to the ticker and check on Vyeftium

Crap... i just realize i have 450 units of the stuff and its been dropped to 80 from the 127 it normally is

So do I a. just wait and see if it goes back up, b. Let others continue to drop it or c. sell my stuff while its still at a reasonable price before others CAN drop it below what I'm willing to sell.

I admit I sold that vyeftium. Does that make me a bad person? I hope not. But then again, Im not back down in scourge mining more to sell today, I'm off hunting and fishing and other boring stuff.

It trickles over to hunting as well, sadly. The change in how much we make per unit of anything, be it a commodity or a potion, has affected nearly every aspect of player income. The only REAL money I make is off the books, weapons, armor, etc. I find in boxes and on creatures where it used to be the 30k I'd get from brokering a bag full of various commodities.

It's just an excuse to kill people. Death is no deterrent.

You still didn't reply to my post, Aesal.

Just looking at the ticker right now, I see more than 20 potions ranging between the 70s to 90s, and a couple above 100; what I'm basically asking is, what is it people are expecting? You can't realistically expect the value of a commodity in any economy, text-based or no, to not fluctuate because of activity (and the old randomizing effect is something I miss greatly). If price-fixing and a perpetually inflated economy are expected as the "norm", you'd have to also expect prices of everything in the game to go up comparably.

So what if you can't sell everything at 150.0? Even if a value's at 30.0, one dollar is better than zero dollar. It's trite to condemn someone else as greedy because you aren't making the money you feel you're entitled to.

Which, with all due respect to Dzynna, is as likely to happen here as it would be IRL.
