@OP ~ You haven't given a good reason to raise prices or implement a new system to acquire the armour. All you've provided is some rhetoric about ebayers and that Fow armour is for bragging rights.

1. Provide some plausible reasoning behind your request.

2. Provide a realistic solution that all players could achieve not just those who play a certain style.

If you can't do that then you have really only created a flame thread to entice flames (you said so in your first post). I'm wondering if you don't just want attention.

Or you could make FoW/UW harder reducing the input of mats needed. Make it less ugly which would up the demand and increase the cost of ecto/shards.

Or even better we should nerf farming, salvage kits should cost at least 1k each and skills should be 5k, all missions should cost 1k to access and then and then and then....

First two were semi-serious, last two-three was me getting carried away

I just posted that in another thread earlier. Learn how to use the term 'troll' before tossing it around. Most people who have posted in this thread with a flame are the true ugly beasts who show their nasty sides just for fun.

Malice? Well, now he's just trying to defend himself. He prepared himself for flames everywhere, and everyone is criticizing him for doing so.

I honestly wouldn't care whether the prices of the FoW armor rises or not. There are some good points and some bad points.

Good: Well, if the set was hard-earned, then it would show who is a true money making machine. Perhaps the price of the armor should fluctuate with the price of Ectoplasm ^_^

..maybe not..

The Bad: Well, the gold farming industry would still get a bit hit. Though I doubt that there will be a rise in the prices, even if there were, the rise would not be dramatic enough to stop the ebayers. If the purchaser of the gold really wanted the armor, what's to stop him from putting out, say, another 20 dollars?

I can see a few people stop their purchasing frenzies and play the game with normal, 'ugly', 1.5k armor.

When I played the game, I rarely ever noticed anyone with such expensive armors. They are barely recognizable among the masses of the public, with their flashy dyed armor pieces. I've noticed the glowing from 'Drinking from the Chalice of Corruption' more often than Fissure armor pieces even when two characters are standing by each other.

To me, this topic is a real meh.

lol this is no petition its an idea...ideas can be modified or dismissed i put it up to see what responses it would get and i was right..the thread turned red with flames

only a select few had the common curtesy to say "bad idea, heres a better one" the rest..waste of space

PsychoX · Jun 17, 2006, 02:32 AM // 02:32

yes... try paying for that armor when you can only hold 100k at a time.

gg. common sense ftw!

15K each peice = 60k/75k for warrior

thats all the cash you need to carry...the rest is materials

think before you post

More materials = More money

i.e. Ectoplasm.

Oh no, it costs more now!

True common sense ftw.

increase the price of each peice to 1mill or up the amount of ecto/shard(this will stop the "casual" ebayer)

you might think im crazy but FoW armor use to be exclusive now you cant even go to place like piken without seeing a set

this shall bring many flames..i see it already, think before you post.

The more expensive you make it the more you help the EBAYERS out actually because they'll make more money selling the materials/gold to acquire the stuff

This doesn't help anybody really

You do know that there will be some people who will stop buying completely, right? Good.

Racthoh · Jun 17, 2006, 02:40 AM // 02:40

I think IDing 5000 rare items on one character will probably be rarer. If you want to be exclusive, there is definately something you could shoot for in the meantime.

Big Deal as well, I'm sure that would gather a crowd. Well, if that is your intention; make FoW armour more exclusive and thus drawing attention to yourself.

Opeth11 · Jun 17, 2006, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Make it glow!

..I'm not even sure if that's a good idea or not.

It sure would make you stand out, though!

Malice Black · Jun 17, 2006, 02:42 AM // 02:42

did i say 1mill had to be in gold? no i didnt

1mill worth of ecto/shard

167e (6k per) x4=668ecto total

like i stated its an idea in the working..things have changed since i posted the original thread

Fyre Brand · Jun 17, 2006, 03:00 AM // 03:00

Like I said earlier you were really vague. Inferring that 1mil is gold isn't that crazy.

I like like Racthoh's post above. He summed it up and pretty diplomatically I might add.

Malice Black · Jun 17, 2006, 03:05 AM // 03:05

it was a vague idea to begin with...

anyways thanx for input i'll give this some more thought and come back with a flame proof version.

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 17, 2006, 03:54 AM // 03:54

I honestly have no idea why the OP hasn't gotten his ass banned by now for trolling (new troll maybe?), but for the love of something you happen to love, mods PLEASE CLOSE THIS POINTLESS FLAME-RIDDEN IDIOTIC THREAD.

I suppose you're an expert on this.

Dawgboy · Jun 17, 2006, 04:28 AM // 04:28

Just stop posting on this pointless thread.

Troll, I hereby banish you from top of the page to page 3!

(did it work?)

Higher up the food chain ahaha, you mean the people who buy gold and do a repetitive clockwork farm routine all day long.

Yours obviously one of these guys. The people who are "higher in the food chain" are people with actual skill. Foir instance a player on a top 10 guild team, not mindless slaves with a daily farm routine.

You wanna be exclusive? Find some of this skill, or play iway for 9999.92 hours and get rank 12. You can feel real special as people gather around as you flash your gigantic phoenix.
