dont blame the WS blame the loot collecters that charge an arm and a leg for something they camp all the time.
Ackley Bones on my server go from 150k to 250k for BASE bones. Add a Slice and quality resources, the cost to make is around 170k-270k. Naturaly, and is true with RL business too, there has to be a mark up for profit which is usualy 50% the cost value makeing BASE ackley weapons 340k-540k. Of corse there is other things to consider such as the results of the slice (which has way more impact then it should, just my two cents) quality of bone (which also has a huge impact on the pricetag of getting them). But if you want cheeper products heres a tip, if you collect all the looted stuff yourself, offer extra of it for a copy of the compleated weapon. As WS generaly dont make as much money as one thinks, they will jump at the opertunity to get high end loot for services rendered.


and on a side note, BASE ackley bones(which gives +65), only adds about an extra +25 as the part it replaces usualy gives around +40. For those uber god weapons ppl all think they should be able to pick up for 100k, expect to pay alot more, because it cost the WS who baught it a heck of alot more just for the parts/schems/resources/equipment then what alot of ppl expect to pay for final weapons.

Some of the blame lays with the WS, as they're willing to pay that much for the resources. They could all opt not to, bringing the price down. Or better yet, causing the loot campers to stop camping instead.

Thats not fair to say either. Its like blameing the consumers for wanting the best weapons. So when people only want subpar everyday weapons, then ws wont need looted parts, and thus the price will drop. It just doesnt work like that. But until then we just have to accept the fact people take advantage of the demands of the players and just pay up :/

You can't buff in the Acklay room.

The point is still valid though as an organised group can power down to the room in a few minutes and you can solo down there in a decent time too if you play smart.

If you know what you're doing you don't even need a group.......lol. Swordsmen and Riflemen can solo the Geo cave easily (although rifleman takes a little longer with our sorry state defenses).

My brother (a swordsman) and I can go from the top to the Acklay room in 5 minutes, and that's killing all the stuff on the way.
