Are ecto prices going to continue to go up or come back down?

Kapral · Dec 29, 2009, 11:12 PM // 23:12

*gazes into crystal ball*

UP!

Lishy · Dec 29, 2009, 11:15 PM // 23:15

up up up
After the SF nerf, it'll go back down

YunSooJin · Dec 29, 2009, 11:24 PM // 23:24

do we need a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing thread on this every week? Anyone that has a good idea won't share their opinion, because they will be making bank from the fluctuations

ITT: same damn question we get every week

hmm wonder why you say that lishy.. there's something you know we don't =] maybe the nerf is'nt going to do much and will appease the whiners

RTSFirebat · Dec 29, 2009, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Ugh! I'm so sick of these threads...

Actually, this is just a business philosophy I'm applying.
When you fear something will be gone or it will be gone, you panic and rush to buy it.
Like the wintersday costumes, people will rush to buy the ectos. After a while post-SF nerf, people will start farming again and the prices will spike back down.

Next thread please. We don't need another one of these.

Seriously.

The ecto market, like any other market, is largely due to speculation. Many people think ectos are going to become rare after the nerf, so the price goes up. But then there are others who believe that people have so many stacks of ecto already that a lack of new ectos entering the market won't mean jack. Lishy is probably one of the latter.

Mustache Mayhem · Dec 29, 2009, 11:36 PM // 23:36

ah makes sense.. yeah but don't expect it to come down too much- if the average can't do the runs it'll probably stay high

if there is an effective SF nerf, the prices of ectos will permanently increase. the only issue is how much of an increase it will be in the long run

in the short term, who cares? :|

+1 before close

Ah yes the price of ectos. What a great reason to ruin a game. It's amazing, everyone says nerfs are about PvE balance, not ecto value. Yet, as has been noted in an earlier post, these thread topics keep popping up. Hmmm....

reaper with no name · Dec 29, 2009, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Some want SF nerfed for game balance, some want it nerfed for e-peen. These threads are one of many ways you can find out who is which.

Why don't you think about what drives ecto prices and come up with your own conclusion, rather than make other people think for you?

freedom_razor · Dec 30, 2009, 12:57 AM // 00:57

From trusted sources I know that in the coming year prices of ectos will definitely go... left.

Shakti · Dec 30, 2009, 01:14 AM // 01:14

From experience they will go up...then down...then up...then down. Rinse and repeat.

Every "Zomg Insert-farm-build-here nerf will ruin the game/economy Oh noes" that has occurred in the last 4 years causes prices to go roller coasterish...and these threads to flood guru weekly. Relax. A new build will undoubtedly be on the scene to replace SF.
