So what I am asking from experienced and new players as well is a solution to this problem.
Creating gold sinks such as arena, scavenging, etc. have not accomplished this and it has affected many merchants trying to make a few FSP greatly, as well as players trying to buy gear new and old to become more efficient hunters and pvp'ers. The new inventable legendary gear is quite expensive, the epics are outrageous, and fully forged gear has become almost worthless in many cases.
What suggestions would you make to solve this issue?
I will compile the best answers and make an attempt to suggest them to HCS, so please, put some good ideas here.
Thanks and good luck FS!!

Leveling gear, even FF, can be gotten cheap. A player may participate in almost any of the mechanics of the game inexpensively. The only part of the game which requires a significant investment (to consistently win) is the arena.
Epic gear should be expensive. Its very nature makes it require a significant amount of effort. The inventable sets which you mentioned come from the arena, which as I already stated, requires a significant investment. So they should be expensive. As should Titan items. The RP gear is a way to make Epic gear accessible to all players by nothing other than effort, and was (imo) a very nice gesture on the part of the Cows. What more do you want?

ahh, i was just[/u] thinking about this, i think decreasing the price of well, everything would be very helpful, see the RP items *which HCS should get more of* range from around being Bobby Skull - 150+ Tears - 320+ Fang - 625+ now if we could consult, on making these drop *the prices* that would help out ALOT of players, heck, go to the AH right now, and type in 'blue man of war sword' probably 350+ FSP, correct? yes, it takes 1Fang (700FSP) and 1Skull (170FSP) to make that, no profit AT ALL i would be suprised it the higher-rated Epic makers, even sold one or the regular 1200FSP (daflunk-dalejunior, etc.) i think just destroying the marketplace would be great, do you really think a level 5 could afford the 35+ FSP emissaires set? i didnt think so. please consider. Thanks - KidKrash

FSP used to be worth only 24k each... before the market place opened up... and also its the game thats how they make money or else we cant play the way we play yes its expensive but thats why people who spend money get first priorety or better head start i guess... but how would we decrease FSP if the marketplace is controlled by us players?
edit made. Thanks for the slap. Lol

I do not understand what you mean by fsp value.
Leveling gear, even FF, can be gotten cheap. A player may participate in almost any of the mechanics of the game inexpensively. The only part of the game which requires a significant investment (to consistently win) is the arena.
Epic gear should be expensive. Its very nature makes it require a significant amount of effort.

I want what every player wants, more fsp for my hard earned money. And the inventable legendary gear is too expensive since the rp and tkp system changed. The change was good, but hurt a lot of people. Please try to not be so rude in your responses. It's not necessary.

Also I would like to add..that there are tons of other ways to earn fsp in the game...such as farming, selling items (I usually make fsp by selling good defensive items) and even selling buffs, potions, plants, pots and so on....so its not that bad...you just got to find your own way and stick to it.
I would just keep on levelling up and get more max stam. It is very useful to me..

I'm expanding my level range in the arena. As a result, I purchased and forged a razor set today.
It cost me 80 FSP.
Why shouldn't I get value for the components I use that investment to win with?
Updating the other half of the marketplace is a reasonable suggestion.
Trying to artificially depress the price of FSP because people want more for less is not.

As someone who has bought a lot of FSP with real money,
I am perfectly happy with an FSP being equal to 130K to 150K gold.
And if HC wants me to keep paying real money for FSP, they will not lower the value of FSP.
as you know, the world is in a recession right now. Not everyone can afford to buy fsp on a regular basis.
And I'm no kid with no money either. I'm a laid off 31 year old looking to have more fun in the game. I sell potions just to make it in game, but everyone wants a little more.
Run the 20%-40% deal on fsp for 2 weeks. It will level the playing field a tiny bit more if you ask me, but I'm no economist either.

Yes I was thinking this the other day...Well sort of. If I'm spending real money I should get a few more points. I mean 20 real dollars for 110 points? 20 dollars could buy me an entire game off of amazon or a download off gamestop etc. fill my gas tank halfway. my 20 dollars doesn't get me very far here and thats a shame being as I don't mind throwing a few bills to a company that supplies me a good amount of entertainment.

I haven't donated in months.
I'm doing just fine, thank you. For those who can't afford to donate on a regular basis - but were or are smart about what they invested in with those donations - it's possible to make tidy in game profits with no continuous financial support of the Cows.
