Default Don't forget pepperspray when visiting the EC tunnel

Cause greedy players will try to rape you with prices.
I know enough people bitch about prices being high, but theres
a difference between that and these outrageous prices which
is basically ripping the consumer off.

"WTS"

700k for Cloak Of Rants And Flames
Robe of the isvha for 25k by Argh Matey
Djarn's ring for 17k
Mithril Vambraces for 6k
4k for Crafted Breastplate
Acid etched war sword... the one that procs Ykesha
and can be used by most classes. saw it for a cool 7k
Why any class other than a tank would want a weapon that
procs Ykesha is beyond me.

feel free to add some more or attempt to troll me.

I agree, prices are stupid. But then again I just don't bother to participate in the pp hustle that seems to turn so many on.

But I do want to add a lawlz for those who keep trying insist that EVERYONE on the server easily has 100k sitting around so why care that stuff is stupid expensive. They also try to imply that if someone doesn't have that kind of pp, we're somehow playing wrong.

The funny thing about looted equipment is that there's no MSRP, so it's worth whatever someone will pay.

If you think it's too much, just chuckle to yourself and move along. Starting a thread about it is just attention-whoring.

I agree with OP, and I don't know of a better forum than the RANTS forum for this thread.

Just have to ignore the trolls since they are rampant in this forum.

Despite my regular comment I do actually agree that those prices you listed seem high. I think part of it is that those prices are expected to be undercut or haggled down, anyway. It's no different than a car dealership in the regard that eventually you might end up paying less than the sticker price but you really haven't phased the salesman or cut into his profits - it just makes you feel good.

See those prices? Haggle em. If they don't budge, laugh your way off into the sunset.

Jade Prod is what confuses me the most. 6 of those enter the server every single day. There aren't that many people on here. In a couple weeks, there will be more prods than players that even want 'em. Yet people still try to squeeze 8k out of them, not realizing they're costing themselves more in the long run as the prices drop.

The right price is what someone is willing to pay. Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart
