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?

So is variance but that is in game to supposedly "improve" or shall I say customize this server. Where is the line drawn? What "improvements" are okay and which ones are not?

a plat wipe would only cause people to quit, prices would probably go up as people are trying to make their lost fortunes back

If only that actually meant something.

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.]

700 ppl on during peak hours. 700 x 15k? 10.5 mil.

And that's just the chest piece. Some people have several toons they will gear with velious armor. And the server population will increase when velious launches.

Adding any plat sink would be "not classic". So if you had to have one, I think this is it because it doesn't change much. You still get the "classic" armor at the same "classic" price.
