IMO.
I think the spiked eggnogs are not selling for what they should. Consider my argument.

Max drunk title costs 2000 platinum.
I say it is more then 2000 platinum because The first of the 1 minute alcohol drinks does not get you drunk and to be cost effective you have to stay at the computer and NOT AFK to keep you drunk level up or you waste that first drink. Not so with spiked eggnogs.

Since most alcohol sold at merchant is 200g each, one spiked eggnog should be worth at least 600 gold since it is equal to 3 one minute drinks. It should be more then 600 gold if you considered the convenience of the 3 minutes drunk and not wasting the first drink like the one minute drinks.

Yes I am biased because I have 7000 spiked eggnogs I want to sell at some point but I will not sell them for 400g each.

Anyway, what’s your opinion?

No one going for max drunkard title buys Drinks at the merchant, they buy credits/commendations from playes for 100g each.
3 x 100= 300 :O
Spikeds DO sell at a higher price than 3x1min drinks cos of the convenience. (3min spiked at 400 > 3 1mins at 100each).

Then I guess you are drunk for the rest of your life in GW's, cause no one is going to pay you over 400, not very likely anyway. 7000x300 is 210000, so quit your pining, you wont get 600 each for them, I thought I would too, till I found out about the credits/commendations thingy, so I liquidated last night and made a measly 37,000. And yes I realise Wintersday celebration ends tommorow, and then the price may go up a bit, I no longer cared, just wanted the space in inventory, every spot is precious.
If you think you are the only one who had the forethought to invest in spiked, think again, Id be willing to wager it was the most traded for christmas treat by far(pretty safe bet I think).
How many others have 5000-10000 eggnogs and dreams of prices in the 600's ? Be honest.

Why are people whining about Spiked Eggnogs? C'mon.. they aren't an "integral" part of the game. They aren't some uber weapon or awesome armor. They are there to offer a means of a specific fun title. Besides... anyone with half a brain and a little time knows that you can farm alcohol in pre ascalon for what... free? Besides... granted yeah... spikes are 3 min and others are 1 min... but just because spikes last 3 times as long... it doesn't mean you should charge 3 times as much. Ya go to the store... ya buy a gallon of milk... its what 3.49 a gallon (at least here)... but if you buy 2... its 2 for 4.99. 3 minutes doesn't mean charge 3 times as much. Feel free to charge more but c'mon.. lets be real here. Besides.. its just GW money.. its not like its real money. Lets not act like we are gambling away the house and our next meal.
