I can see where pablo is coming from with this.

The market is ridiculous right now and for those who are merchanting, auctioning stuff has become a chore instead of an exciting part of the game.

There really are way too many sets in the game as it stands and I personally think an overhaul of gear would be a good thing, strip out all the dead wood and make the epics/SE/legendary sets the hard ones to attain thereby bringing them back to decent marketable value again.

Look at the value of cockatrice for example, if you go to the AH right now you will see that fully forged perfect can be bought for 3-4 fsp. This is just one example that shows how the market has slumped.

Don't try and put words in my mouth, that it not what I was saying at all.

If you had even an ounce of intelligence you would of understood the gist of the post.

Ok this whole thing with the epics and the auction house is simple. HCS just wants more money and they dont really care how they get it. They will continue to throw out Titans and each titan will just obsolete a bunch of LE and SE gear, thus making us crazed fs fans buy some fsp's to get those nice pixel titan gear. nuff said...

By the same token, when items flood the market, stuff becomes worthless.

Highly efficient and high grade kit should at least have a reflected market value of its worth and not some stupid worthless price tag.

Better that somethings go up in value and are worthwhile than they drop in value and become worthless.

I say this not as a merchant but as somebody who cares about the state of the game.

I just had an idea. How about a variety of items that have the same exact stats as existing items? Like say, a ring that has the same stats as a Decay Rune or a helmet with the same exact stats as a Shildorah Shield? Since each slot isn't truly different from another slot in any way, I doubt this would affect the game mechanics. It would also add some variety into figuring out what to wear. So then, you have a recipe that uses components that can transmute one to the other? Applied to all item slots, this would turn into 8 more items and 72 more recipes for every item in the game. Granted, I wouldn't suggest applying this all at once, but it could spark some life back into the game for a while if you slowly introduce it, without affecting balance issues. If you add into that the fact that the recipes should have a very high, but not 100% success rate, this would be a stamina and gold sink (getting the recipes and resources) as well as a slow item sink (items will slowly disappear as some of them fail to transmute). I believe that would have a good effect on the FS market economy.
