Ok, they have taken away our ability to make quality weapons and stand above the rest that dont bother to collect the necessary enhancements to make highend weapons. They have dumbed down the crafting process and removed decay so that all current weapons and newly crafted weapons will the exact same and last as long as the game, (at least a few more months).


I have seen people post that they will flood the market with weapons at a price that no one can compete with. Taking it in the chin be lossing a ton of money.


I say that we need to set uniform prices across the servers, at least on each server for all WS. The current prices on my server for ALRs ran from 10k to 50k if unenhanced. I say the standard for a ALR should be 200k or higher from now on. When new smiths look to this forum and ask what should I charge, the answer should be 200k for an ALR. When they look at the bazaar and see that all the vendors sell them for 200k, they should price theirs the same.


We should developa list of all available weapons and create a set recommended price for them. If I cant make sells from repeat business, then I need to make more money up front on every sell.


When new smiths start up on the server, and a Vet sees that they have a shop, send them an email and directions to this forum for the set price list. Explain to them that becuase of the new system imposed on us, that is the only way for a smith to make any money in the economy and he or she should do the same.


Of course this is a pipe dream, but it would be nice

Well alot of us are leaving because of this, few final goodbyes in the form of 10 1-lot naboo houses on Bria, Ahazi and other high populated servers would be fun.

This won't work because you can't regulate a cartel like this. Someone will just come and start an alt up with some half-assed resources and charge 10k instead of 200k with no intention to really make any money.

lol, a cartel sounds communist to you? Demand a refund from your Econ professor.


Even if you had a *successful* cartel on WS's, you know exactly what would happen in this project .... increased loot drops, or even the introduction of NPC WS's that undercut your prices.

One of my houses says "NGE cancelled my account" another says "Come see my 20 mil + useless resource collection".
