Has anyone else noticed a decrease in sales since JTL came out.
It's probably too early to tell yet - but my sales seem to have slowed somewhat over the last few days.

Sales slumped at the beginning of the wider beta as well. Sales will be low for about a month then will pick up with those who are staying that have tired of being in space all the time. I do not expect armor sales to ever be as high, again, as they were in the last part of the summer (my personal peek when I was selling 25 suits of 80%kinetic 80%energy 67%base in 2.5 days).

I am using this time to catch up on inventory and try new things. I hope to have some new products when people come back to the ground

We will have another big increase in sells when this combat balance takes effect, looks like there talking about some new armor to come out with it

I'm close to 20 mill... but the first good wooly spawn in 3 months hit my server, so I plan to spend a good amount on hide...
But yeah, sales have probably dropped by half if not more. Funny the day before launch was a record sales day for me.

Yep, unless the devs go too far and encumberence makes even the best armour not worth it, people will always want Armour.
There will almost certainly be a slump in sales, but I'm sure that there will be people always needing armour. Whether it's just to grind missions to afford another space part, they'll still need it, perhaps not as much, but they'll still need it (Well not need as such, but want).

Since launch I've noticed a slight decrease in sales. But I expect it to turn around here soon, once folks get a good JTL fix. Bloodfin always has a very high number of sales with all the PvP that happens. I'm spending most of this slow time restocking and taking inventory of what I have.

Im using the time to get caught up as well. Since most of my guilds harvesters are off gathering ship resources Im on my own now when it comes to gethering resources for armor. Luckily my hide supplies are pretty good right now becuase Ive heard some are suffering because those that hunt critters are off in space hunting enemy ships.

I've only recently gotten a decent supply of hides and bones again, but JTL took all my suppliers out of the ground game. Luckily we just had a server best Crism and Iron spawn so I was able tograb some harvs and convince some guildies to help me gather while they were out.
