Runes (E)

[Holytao]

I’m pretty sure I already seen the answer for this but these aren’t in drop files are they?.

If so could they potentially be added I’m not talking all bosses but maybe like the super bosses I.e EM or the guild caves you can only enter twice week or something. I feel that these runes have effect on smaller runes prices majorly currently these (E) runes don’t effect me im of a few lvls of atm but seeing sc XL for 700gg at least throws you of abit id say even tho im still going to invest in them to build a kit for over 180 still bit of putting not including the fact i got to lie to the missus about how much i earnt that month so i can spend more .

Before the comments come flooding about “can’t get it handed to you” or “go play something else if you can’t afford” this isnt solely beneficial for me it’s beneficial for the whole server anyone over 180 who refuse to the prices will have a chance of obtaining and over time the smaller runes will drop in prices slightly bcos these (E) are now obtainable and people aren’t charging ridiculous amounts for smaller runes for you to make them into a (E).

Open to hear peoples opinion on the matter if done so like adults.

One thing to remember is if something is in AH, then it's not sold yet. If I put a candle in AH for 100gg it doesn't make candles worth 100gg. People just get greedy, this server is full of people who want to squeeze every penny out of everything. Absolutely nobody is paying the prices for the XS and S runes you see, it's wild seeing people actually expecting to get 10-15gg for an XS rune that you need 243 of to make an E lol

With a bit of patience you don't need to pay anywhere near the prices you see in AH or in stalls

GM manages supply and demand carefully and if E were introduced to drops, the smaller ones would need reduced to offset it, so I don't think it would make any difference to the market, it would just move it closer to the old system

It used to be that bigger runes dropped a bit more often than they do now, but smaller ones barely dropped any better than the big ones. Everyone was upset about killing bosses and getting nothing. It's been moved towards a focus on smaller ones dropping more often, which awards people who grind and can collect them to make what they want, rather than just relying on a lottery win drop

I think the biggest issue is just player greed. All you have to do is look at I would say a good 75% of the items put up for sale and they are overpriced by an extreme amount.

I think even if the runes were put into the drop table the price would still stay the same because as stated before people want to squeeze every bit of gold or gg out of others.

(Just seen Zade's post so)

TLDR: Player greed keeps prices crazy high

Yeah don’t get me wrong I knew instantly that them runes was way overpriced and as you say it comes down to greedy people but it just seems that is them who control the market with runes and yeah I don’t even entertain buying the xs or s best thing I can do atm is ask in guild if any1 wants to trade cos it seems soul crystal runes are a joke to get I had dc and mc runes drop but sc very diff story for me I got a few in Easter event maybe my drop luck is just bad.

I get what you mean with other runes and how it would change but how much was XL runes before (E) was introduced from what I can tell they gone up like 300gg from this I feel it has effected the prices majorly. Just putting them in a boss or two like the big bosses like gc caves or bdp where you can only enter twice a week make them a rare drop that way it won’t flood the game with them but will help with runes prices cos I do truly feel like it’s the (E) that has driven up other prices on runes with them in very limited drop files people are going to have less incentive to charge that much cos they know people will much rather grind them bosses then buy runes for stupid amount.

I can’t say much I not been here long I can only give feedback and what I seen and how I feel on these subjects. And this one I been waiting to see if prices go down but they haven’t so felt like I’d just give my opinion on the matter.

P.s I see that post about world bosses maybe even add it to that if becomes a thing.

It's simply down to supply and demand.

A lot of top players had their kit full of XL, so the demand was low.

When E was introduced, suddenly all the top players want to replace their XL with E, so there was a huge demand, and that pushed the prices up sharply. Now that all the rich people have got that out of their system and maxed out their kits again with E runes, you'll see the prices gradually slip back down to what they were before

The rune extraction tool that was offered during the event helped to mitigate the effect by bringing some more runes into the market and temporarily increasing supply to counter the temporary increase in demand
