I see the highest priced stucc going up (ex self powered harv deeds have risen from 1mill to 2 mill.)

Since vendor search appeared, medium houses are the same, large houses are less, small houses the same.

BUT.... small houses drop from 10-20k to 8-10k months before vendor search.

Most furniture seems the same price.

The average high-end yet non-tissued weapon seems about the same (30-50k) per my (faulty) memory.

Loot kits like rugs have gone all over - but loot drops have changed so much that there's not much comparison. 1.5million per rug to 200k up to 400k.

Food? Once I had to watch my spending, now I have money and don't pay attention. Someone else needs to say.

Armor.... A suit used to cost me ~250k, now I think I pay 150-200, but I found a well priced armor shop. And with all the AS changed, pre-cu composite is not the same as post-cu composite. If fact, post-cu composite probably should have a different name... For that matter, I don't buy composite anymore from al the armor changes. And my post-cu armor lasts longer.

So..... A few areas show no change, a few areas show a price drop, and one specific area (high high end stuff) has gone up... And for the most part, any effect from the credit count is greatly overshadowed by the CU changes, AS/WS changes, loot drop rates, vendor search.... In the end, there's so many variables.....



anyone that buys a self powered harv kit for that much is a complete fool. do the roi and see how long it would take you to recoup the initial cost.

Nah, not a fool, someone with too much money to spend.

I bought 30 of them for, in total, 29.5m. I know they won't reimburse what they cost in the near or distant future, but I don't care. Honestly, I think of it as a long term investment which enables me to visit my smaller harvester-field only once a week.




ya, perhaps my original statement was a bit broad and rash, but its still bad economics lol. But at a certain point creds mean very little and what a lot of folks dont realize is just how low that number can be It just depends on your playstyle and the wants and needs of your toon.

Ye, sure, but I won't run out of credits anytime soon so I can afford it.

Besides, if I ever wanted to stop mining ressources, I could again sell the self powered harvestors and redeem the money.

Everyone post I've seen on the math on the waste of a self powered deed fails to take into account that I can now run 7 harvs pulling up ore / steel / etc.

That means I can fill orders faster, and keep my vendors stocked better.

Which means that a sef powered deed will pay for itself in 1.5 years instead of 2.




Why do people pay to play a MMORPG but not want to interact with other people?
Why, SOELA, why? Did the entire management join a cult, and at the same time perform home lobotomies?
It takes less time to look at the stickies than to ask a question and wait for sarcastic replies. So please oh PLEASE ask the same question many times. I enjoy the sarcastic remarks.

You can buy power instead of mining it yourself.

I honestly don't know how much power sells for...

But then I'm paying for power instead of paying off a self powered deed!
