Standardise the price of respec stones?

[Starwind]

Do you think there should be a standard price for respec stones of all types?

Reason i ask is because the competition out there is driving prices low, and before we know it, the stones wont be worth the effert of going on raids to get a stone to pay for there big house, or a scroll etc etc

So i say lets have a set price for respec stones, a price that aint too low and not too high, so everyone is happy.

Some may say competition is healthy, you have to ask your self is it?, when the time comes when you cant afford the rent on your houses etc etc.

Thing is, if people continue to undercut people, it will get to a point were people just cant be bothered anymore, because it wont be worth the hassel.

It would be nice to see peoples views in this.

Bye for now.

First: Hahaha.

Soviet communism in daoc, yeah right.
Sorry, but the prices in daoc are pretty much decided by straight market mechanisms. The demand will meet the supply at some point and create a price, unless you have some way of forcing a higher price you will not succeed.

I'd recommend a cartel, but I know that I'll exploit it and sell stones at a slightly lower price myself.

Good luck.

I think it's a very good idea that you are suggesting but it just wont happen.
If you make this happen ill be gobsmacked. hehe

ROFL, clueless thread, perhaps it is time to downgrade your house if you can't afford it?

if ppl would stop farming them (which wont happen i guess), sometime they would run out, and the price goes up again.
its all about supply and demand, when theres lots of them they go cheap

and if u dont think its worth farming respec stones maybe u should farm something else huh?

When a rare item becomes common it reflects it selling price. If you did that with respec stones then you would have to make all items follow suit. So if there are more than 10 of one item on ME it means it needs a set price or people wont bother farming it...

I'll keep my reply short:

No

 

[Melachi]

Actually respecs being very cheap is a very good thing imo, its one of the things that many people ingame really need, you can get by without GoV or a Ring of Heavens or other expensive stuff. You cant get by if you screwed up your spec and need to fix it :<

 

[vavires]

I always place my stones cheap, Why? caus ei need cash for my templates and the lower i go the sooner they are sold.

My full respec is at 4.250p and my Ra for 1 plat

vav.

if those are the normal prices, i cant see how u can whine theyre cheap, thats bloody expensive ;p

I dont whine, and they are not so cheap. a respec buy is what 2p at lvl 50?
so 4.250 is cheap for a full respec stone. the stones used to sell for 9p, i always solled mine for 6 at those times. now its 4.250 when others sell it for 5p.

if all full respec stone in houseing will cost 4p... then the first stone sold will be the houses at 1600-1899 so its a + for those in erikstaad to have stones on their CM's. That means that you wont sell your stone fast enough to actaully have money to pay what ever your gonna pay. The prices in houses are based on if you need it and its rare you haft to pay what the price is or if you want to sell an thing fast you lower the price and get it sold fast and maybe even cheap. Means that you get money fast and prices are gonan get lowerd.. Tbh i think i am one of those that made the price fall from 8p to 4p ;/

had 8 stones and sold all and first stone went for 8p and last for 4,6p. and now they cost 4p as is mine now i got on my CM. So as we all know prices in houseing suk but hey they are getting cheaper for those that are gonna bu yand then many more are sold...

 

[Yeke]

prices fall = ppl stop farming them = less on cm = price increase = ppl farm them again... wheres the problem?

 

[Starwind]

He He, oh there is no problem at all, after all its only pixels on a screen, i certainly aint going to lose any sleep over it.

prices fall = ppl stop farming them = less on cm = price increase = ppl farm them again...

^^^ This is true ^^^

PS. all you lot squeeling, wind ya kneck in, its only a friendly debate.

squeeeeeeeeling!

 

[Imon]

its pretty easy.... when prices drop so low ppl cba to go farm em, ppl will start to pay more since there are none to get.....


Supply and demand my friend, supply and demand

 

[old.Whoodoo]

I dont see the need for all the insults, its a perfectly sensible question to me, not everyone can play 24/7 or has an ML9 petted toon to farm the cash, so whats wrong with making a suggestion?

Think some of you are having the decorators in or sommit, and this comes from someone whos normally a miserable sod at the best of times.

Stones comes from Dragonraids.
We dont do thos eonly to get stones, also because its fun.
And its been a habit for over a year now that we follow bluesky to kill the dragon, that wont change whatever the price sais.

Myabe if u had said this post a while ago, when prices where expensive for stones and not when it looks like u wont make as much as u did before then we could all say aye, but to complain about being to cheap,

i think is a laugh, i surpose it was ok, when stones cost the earth, u was all happy, but now there not u complain or think there should a min price, cheaper the better as it only improves the players we ave within the realm

 

[Starwind]

Too much Squeeling for my liking Mr Bones, with the looks of it you play WOW alot with the level of your toons, so really dood stop squeeling about a game you dont play anymore , let go will you

Maybe i will sell my arse again, to bump the platage up, i know im worth atleast 1 silver a blast.

Well THERE IS a problem with the insane prices of the oh so easy to farm respec stones. Mostly selfish ppl who set those prices high.

I have sold all my full respecs for 5p-4.5p-4P. Always, sold to guildies for 2p and for friends sometimes even free. And before some forum troll comes up and says that im dumb, i had ennough money and i still have ennough, and if i have not ennough i just join 5 dr's and im rich again.

Ra's should be maximum 2p, but even 1p is already too much now. You can farm them in poc(i have still 8 stones left from god knows how many i had.)


But then again, half of midgard are greedy players who spent their ingame time with tricking ppl, selling port coints for1p instead of 1g hoping someone misread it.
If you want something, ull be better off to farm it yourself then buy it, its always better if you do it yourself then letting someone else do it.

 

[Skirne]

Bluesky is overproducind, i.e. dumping prices. If you have a problem with low prices you should take it with him, or make a cartel as I mentioned

lol are you on the same planet as the rest of us ?

I do a single dragon raid a week (not to get stones but because its the single raid i really like) and have done for close to 2 years now so how you work out im "overproducing" when sometimes theres another 4 dragon raids a week?

I have trouble selling my stones too hence i sell them cheap usually but I really dont see a great problem here - and its nothign compared to a tonne of other issues on the cluster atm.

If I wanted to I could kill the market completely but I dont as I know other ppl need the cash from selling their stones.

4p is cheap? i remember back when i first did DR's i was selling them for 3p and people called me greedy

guess the point of the thread is that as long as people want the respec stones, they'll buy them, and (i know i did while i played anyway) some people go on Blue's DR's because they are damn good fun rather than just cash

rock on blue

 

[Skirne]

I'm not blaming you Bluesky, I don't go to dragonraids, cause the stones are so cheap.
