Recipe Merit Reward cost adjustments

[kelika2]

Uncommon/Yellow - 5 merits each

Rare/Orange - 20 merits each

Epic/Purple - 50 merits each

ATOs - still 100 merit each

 

The epic cost suggestion I was kinda on the fence posting but with hopefully more people spending on high demand yellow/orange sets it would keep it in line more.

Why, though?

Markets pretty bare for some sets.  Pain in the ass to get Reactive Armor, red fortune etc

[Burnt Toast]

The market is bare because there was an influx of characters due to the new powerset - happens every time. The ones you listed are one of the cheaper sets of defense and resistance. 50 merits for a purple is way too low as is 20 for a rare. Something more reasonable would be:

Uncomon: 10

Rare: 40

Purple: 80

ATO: 100

 

But this is a reactionary request due to the influx of people buying for their new characters - the market will bounce back in a week or so. I never buy if something is too much...simply put in an appropriate bid and wait. In the meantime..slot with generic IOs.

I think these numbers are much more reasonable than the initial suggestion if something like this were to happen. We want to start smaller and see the impact before drastically cutting all prices.
