I had the “feeling bad” part surgically removed.

I've always viewed the Momentum mechanism of TW as an "annoyance" tax and a trade-off for its higher damage. I'd hate to see it go away.

I'm all for people selling things at 1 inf, but in my experience you are unlikely even to get 50% of "fair" value. Exceptions might be for stuff like Winter Os and purples, where selling an avalanche for 1 inf *might* net you 20mm. It all depends on what the outstanding bids are, and if my bids are any indication, those bids are going to be as low as possible! Ebil doesn't grow on trees you know!

I've noticed that one or more people tend to do a lot of crafting on Sunday nights. A LOT. I think that's what causes the drop in prices in the early part of the week, since those bulk posts seem to be at pretty low prices.

That was a sly nod to Sir Elton Munkilord. When the display bug is in force, people see a last 5 that generally runs in the 15-17mm range. I'll always sell you one at 5mm, but I'm happier to sell them for 15-17mm. EDIT: case in point

I strongly disagree, although I don't sell recipes very often. I vehemently disagree if you replace "recipes" with "set IOs". I've been playing around with a speed run and lots of things that habitually trade ~4-6mm have HOBs well under 1mm.

You know, my initial response was, "Wha? The devs invented something that drastically makes this game easier for anyone who wants to use it, and people are complaining because it's not easy ENOUGH?!?" Then I checked myself. You really weren't complaining, and it's no skin off my nose. Carry on!

I'm tempted to say we should split the difference and leave things unchanged.

Based on a relatively small sample set, I think purples drop too frequently. More specifically, I think they are dropping faster than people are slotting them. I'd like to see their drop rates cut in half or more.

This is the only meaningful part. All you have to do is care and you end up with hundreds of billions of inf and several thousands of Winter-Os. P.S.: I love books too.

At this point, I'm only offering encouragement on the Market forum, if anyone wants to go there. Here, I've finally given up and am resigned to feeling derision and mocking people who lack rudimentary math skills. I can only take cold comfort in my belief that with respect to the current system, the devs will not further kowtow to the lowest common denominator.

I posted this in another thread: That's for selling. Here's the equivalent for buying: 1. Buy it NAO. Even this requires a little effort, since you have to bid at least as high as what someone is offering at, and if there are no offers, you are out of luck. Generally, just look at the last 5 and bid something well above the high end of the range. This is what keeps the Miracle proc market humming. In the example of last 5 trades: 10mm, 9mm, 10mm, 5mm, 8mm, I'd say a buy it NAO price would be at or above the high end of that range. 2. Buy it almost NAO, aka bid creeping. I suggest that if you really don't care what price you pay, start your bidding at 1mm and increase by 1mm until you get it. If you are even more patient, then estimate where the offers might be and cut your bid increments to 100,000. In the example given, I'd start at 10mm. 3. Buy it VERY SOON(tm). There is very little difference between this and #4. You want to catch the next reasonable offer, but you understand that the next reasonable offer might not be someone blowing out their inventory. In this case, I'd bid somewhere in the 7-9mm range; you are not trying be the lowball bid, but if someone comes in and offers at a "reasonable" price you will be well situated. And if someone dumps you will be first in line. 4. Buy it SOON(tm). You want to be the highest outstanding bid, so when someone comes in and dumps their inventory at 5 inf, you are beating out the previous outstanding bid. In this case, bid something just above 5mm. 5. Buy it LATER. You really don't know if 5mm is the highest outstanding bid or not, just that it traded there. If you put in a lower bid, you may get lucky and if there is enough product offered then any higher bids will get filled and unless new bids come in, you may eventually get filled. Put something in the 3-5mm range and hope, but don't hold your breath.

The best part of this 1300+ entry thread is the clear demonstration that people dump things they don't want for practically nothing into the /AH, pay prices that they think are too high for the things they do want on the /AH, and never seem to realize they are buying back exactly what they dumped. Now THAT, my friends, is rich, in several meanings of the word!

I started thinking about things that we fear, and many of us fear aging. This got me thinking about undead in old D&D lore that would either drain levels or age you in years if they touched you. Pretty scary. Meet Uabhas Wraith, a Dark/Dark stalker. I'm looking forward to building him out.

I'm terribly sorry that you feel that 20+mm is expensive for the most high-end items in the game. I cannot imagine how you got a character to level 50 without accumulating at least enough to buy a set of purples. If you want to play chess, that's great! We're giving free chess lessons, and frankly, those lessons are pretty good. But please stop asking us to play tic-tac-toe and call it chess.

Also, that was not any sort of a judgment call. I just liked saying "Cyndi Lauper rich".

I think you should have to arm wrestle Back Alley Brawler for 'em.

I'm opting for Elton John rich, since he was also one of the first people listed.

Someone bought a Regenerative Tissue proc from me today for 20mm and all I could think was, "Serves the low-baller right!"

I just googled "famous rich people" and Cyndi Lauper was one of the first listed. You are Cyndi Lauper rich.

Again, I'm no expert, but what stuck with me is that you would need to rebuild your domination bar each time, whereas now that is unnecessary if you activate domination before it wears off. I'm totally fine with that, personally.

I was all warmed up and ready for a "nope" until I actually read your post and realized it was calling for a nerf. Yeah, I'm good with that. I'm not super familiar with dominators but I have a few in their mid-30s that are easily soloing +2/x3 content and I expect to up that to +4 shortly. Currently I only use domination for boss and AV fights, so perma-dom seems excessive and "easy mode" to me. But, in general, I will support most nerfs to this game. Anything to add more of a challenge.

I love this post for two reasons. First, a good theme is a good theme. It's nice to see people not chasing a FOTM, and this is a great way to encourage that. Second, that's a great prize. Both in terms of value, and in terms of convenience. Well done. You have earned the Yomo(tm) seal of approval.
