No really, yes, I do.

You have an average income of 24 million credits per day, and I've never had more than 300k in my account at any one time!

Not quite, but close.
Even at my fastest, using 6 factories, it still takes me about 6 real days to crank out the 330 buffpack-sets. And that's if I start the next set immediately after the previous one (which I am basically forced to do to try to keep up).
Your figures assume I can restock every 3 days as I would like to, and unfortunately I can't anymore. I've even stopped trying, recently.
"They're done when they're done"
Maybe I should raise my prices some more to slow sales down again.

Raistlin,
Do you recognize that combat profs can make 500K - 750K PER BUFF? Even relatively weak players can very easily make 150K PER BUFF. Dedicated PvPer simply need to bite the bullet and hunt 1 out of every 10 times to support their PvP habit (one hunting session will easily pay for all 10 buffs, even at my proposed price of 20K + per buff).
The price of a buff/buff pack is not determined by what the doc "needs." This is where you have it backwards! It's priced by what the person receiving the buff "needs." As a PvE'er, I have paid 50K FREQUENTLY for jumping to the front of the buff lines. Allows me to get out there and hunt faster.
You need to get off your high horse Raistlin - you want to give to charity, fine. Spend hours buffing for 6K a pop. I choose to give to charity in other ways: I frequently buff for free and always heal for free. I have helped newb's or trial accounts by giving them 50K and a swoop when I have them.
BTW, do you really think that, if you put up cheap buff packs on your vendor, that you will effect buff prices? No doc will charge much less than they do now because they are, in part, charging for their time. Therefore, by giving cheap packs to docs, you will just be helping to line the doc's pockets. You are unwittingly making "rich" doctors richer
. Good for you. I applaud your efforts.
Any of you free-market supporters want a buff? Just contact Ili on Ahazi (usually on after 8:30pm EST). If I am on, and you are near, I'll buff any of the free-marketeers who posted here for free (I have written down your names). For Raistlin and his supporters, buffs are 20K. No, wait, make that 25K.
Have a great day!

Oh yeah, and that free buff will be for ~2550 for 3hrs 15mins. The 25K buff will be for 2100 for about 2hrs.
Wanna muck with the system? Let's do it.

Master melee profs make over 1m easy on a single buff session. I can make 1-1.5m, if the terms are nice to me. Buffing is slow credits.

hmmm, I don't suppose you are rich as all **edit**? cause thats what i was getting out of your reply. anyone who is not rich as **edit**, please give your input
I have not had more that 1.1 mil to my name and that was just this week. I am struggling to be able to craft (and no not so I can get rich as S***, I just LOVE to craft. Call me freaky) Prices are what they are. The market sets the price. Supply and demand. If there is enough demand then packs will sell for the price they do, if there isnot enough demand then prices will drop. It's not entirely up to the sellers, and it's not entirely up to the customers. The market will set it's own price. Complaining will never help, it just is what it is.
