Even worse.

People are going to buy them out the market at the cap and sell them off-market. They'll be gone as fast as they are listed there.

In the 20s it is going to suck whether you use SOs, generic IOs or set IOs. There's just not enough slots then.

However once you hit the mid 30s with a good build you should see a marked improvement.

So does BP!

Common salvage - 8 AE tickets for a random roll

If that is too hard for someone who doesn't like the sometimes crazy common salvage prices I don't know what more people want the devs to do.

I am the wrong person to ask. I have 22 Field Crafters and am working on 3 more.

I agree. Another possibility is the under 50 crowd are keeping what they are getting either random rolling of direct purchase with merits.

I'm not sure how we can know what people are doing. We can only see what happens in the markets (boy I cannot wait to use the singular noun for that).

Why do you hate seafood so much?

While I understand your point it would throw a major monkeywrench into the Field Crafter.

It was my understanding due to "badgers" that common IOs can be scored cheaper than memorized crafting cost. Certainly someone ought to be selling them for less than the unmemorized cost.

I ALREADY DID!!! (Granted it was a sarcastic one that poked at the current segregated markets and called for unmerging across the servers too.)

The first thing is when he wrote that it was probably under the assumption villains and heroes would still not be able to trade or email stuff across factions but that has also been lifted according to WarWitch's post last Tuesday. So it is possible his predictions were based upon that situation and if so I would have to let him off the hook for said predictions.

The most wrong theory people have about the merger is there will be more ability to manipulate the market. However as many of us know from practical experience the more people participating in a market niche the harder it is to score big. It will take a large and concentrated effort by people deliberately trying to manipulate market prices when everyone is working in the same market whereas now one person can run one item in the Black Market.

I also think his doom and gloom predictions were probably not what would have happened anyway. They've never really said what they expected to happen to the market when certain changes occurred in the game the past 3 years but there were plenty of people here who called most of them if not every single one.

Once GR is in open beta then we will have better ideas of what people can do and what they are most likely to do and then predictions will make more sense.

Great, now I need to login character after character until one of them gets that.

That just doesn't seem to do her justice. We need a new term for her brainpower.

That was obvious to me.

I for one cannot wait.

I don't normally PvP but I would love to see what receiving it looks like. I know I love watching my sharks chow on the NPCs.
