Platinum Sink Idea

[justin2090]

This would be for the MQ-able velious armor. Instead of handing in gems, make it a set plat amount.

Example: Champion's Breastplate - 1 x Corroded Breastplate 3x Flawless Diamonds

Instead do 1 x Corroded Breastplate and 15k (5k per Flawless Diamond)

Then either take the Flawless Diamonds out or give them a hefty vendor price.

Suggestions?

not classic

I think it'd be better to talk about the merits of non-classic solutions in general instead of continuously trying to come up with plat sinks. There are many, many good plat sink ideas already... but I think the major reason they aren't pursued is an aversion toward 'customization' among the developers.

Discontent with raiding seems to be a more visible issue than inflation, and that still hasn't seen a non-classic solution beyond the system currently in place. And yes we've all heard "bla bla bla 2 years of kunark isnt classic, variance isnt classic, im a neckbeard"

My suggestion is they leave the economy alone, and continue avoiding high levels of intervention and customization. I don't think the current levels of mudflation are even all that destructive. It was still proportionately far easier for me to get a fungi tunic etc on p99 than it was for me at this point on live.

If you think 15k is a "Plat Sink" I got some news for you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

they need to put 1-dose random invis pots that are lore / no rent on shady swashbuckler. make them cost 1k a piece. they give random illusions that don't give faction boosts like mage pets or scare crows or werewolf or somethin

For 1 million platinum, you can have someone's account banned, with the "official" justification being that it was because they wrote an erotic fanfic.

CLASSIC

I would enjoy this feature.

I would be happy with 15K in my bank :/

a 15k plat sink only hurts casual players who dont have much to begin with, it doesnt even dent those with 500k or 1 million plat, even those of us with 100-200k in the bank arent the ones who need to have a plat sink

even so, the mudflation isnt really that big of an issue, outside of still stupidly priced items like fungi tunics, there are very few items on this server that arent affordable
