Your right about the new cells causing the destroy old weapon..

Look at trade boards there are tons of trading my adk's "past uber weapon" for 1 million + ADK

Translation: I just got a new better weapon I want to adk.

The main point I am trying to make is the new cells are good... and it would be even better if Trials of Obi brings new loot or ups the caps just a little.

Some weaponsmiths seem to hate the "new better" idea. (likely cause they have million invested in krayt / gorax)

But for the profession itself... everytime something better comes to the table will only create more sale oppertunities.

Imagine if soe said "nothing will get better" all you would see is everyone trying to get adk's.

But if the best improves every 6 months or so... business will stay good

I'm afraid that won't happen...hopeful...but afraid.

The "new better"...BTW, I believe the proper terms are,"Old and Busted...New Hottness"...you're right there... I do have ridiculous stacks of (now) unuseable Krayt/gorax. I used to throw these extra enhancers into Low level weapons to cater to the crafters, but alas, with caps, no more.

As far as the best improving every 6 mos....there's still those darn caps.

Amen, brother.

Once weapon is triple caped and adk no more use for weapon... True

However,

1) ADK's are going for around 20 million... my guess in not every player has one (donot know how many were brought to server by exploits... hopelly not enough to give every player a couple of them)

I feel there will still be a market to make uber weapons.. you may be right many of the $$$ players have adk'd there beast. I do believe that ROTW brough many new players to the game though... and that these players will need good weapons.

To be honest I think this is why ADK's have gone so high.... the new ROTW players have now figured out the market and know that when weaponsare 10 million for ubersand at that price need to get an ADK.

This is my guess as to why tons of players on my server or asking for adks' (either new player... or old player trying to buy cheap and sell for more to take advatage of market)

2) I really expect "trials of Obi" to bring in alot of new players...

If this happens you have a whole crop of people in need of weapons, who donot have adk's... as such will need to replace them from time to time

3) I expect "trails of Obi" to bring some new weapons (maybe even lvl 54 kinetic rifles and carbs)

Again, would create more of a demand for weapons.

I feel the market for uber weapons is there....

However for 6- 10 million that is too much for new players.

Remeber new players did not credit dupe and all the other exploits that screwed the economy...

I recently made my second slot character... and can tell you if it was not for my first charector slipping her some nice $ and equipment... She would be poor by the current 6-10 million for weapon standards.

Honestly there are alot of new players out there that 6 million -10 million is completly ureal for (hell it is a lot for me).

Now put some uber weapons for prices they can afford... and you will see they would be buying
