Thread: We need to come up with a pricing guide post here for ur ideas
Or it could be that you posted this at a time when most people in the continental US are getting ready for bed, most people in Asia are getting out of bed and mostpeople in Europe are in bed fast asleep.
I don't see how a call for fixed prices game wide can be a good idea since each server's ecoonomy is a little different and resources aren't always the same from server to server. Not to mention that setting fixed prices game wide is rather against the free enterprise system wouldn't you say? If I, or anyone for that matter, choose to sellmy gathered resources at 10-30 cpu, or even less, that is my choice and my right.
And one problem with using the boards to set pricing guidlinesgame wide is that the people who read, let alone actually post, are an insignificant number of players. I recall OSI saying once that less than 1% of all UO players had even registered for their boards, and an even smaller percentage actually read and posted. That was, of course, before they closed down their boards. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people who are registered and read the SWG boards is nearly the same as the number of people who were registered for the UO boards.
Charge what you want to get for your time and effort regarding resource gathering and let others do the same.
Guide is a joke and more or less usless- the market is always going to dictate.
I won't hunt anything worth less than 35 cpu, unless I'm helping out a friend.
Want to know what to hunt/charge read the trades and have at it, watch the auctions...
I think as food grows in importance these will be our new best friends.
Armor smiths are too rich I agree so stockpile up some super wolly and wait till none has for a few weeks or months.
This is always going to differ across servers due to whats dropping and where- EG Valcyn just did a few weeks with great wolly dropping where it was easy to gather- thus the market is flat, but at the same time good herb was MIA. Doc's use a lot of Herb meat and when is is scarce they pay well...............Moral of the story- follow you markets and anticipate it if you can............
